...will provide cleaning services for residential properties in Charlotte, North Carolina. In addition, MMS Cleaning Services plan to expand nationally thus opening up the operation for franchising at a very early stage. Our customer base will comprise realtors, property conservation companies, and real estate developers, and will service clients that require direct services such as trash outs, sales clean, securing, and boarding. Currently, MMS Cleaning Services operate on a family basis that allows the company to build personal relationships with customers and potential clients in the respective areas where they live. MMS Cleaning Services has differentiated itself from its competitors in a number of ways. We are targeting foreclosed properties, a segment of the cleaning market that is virtually untouched by our competitors, and we definitely see that as a niche, so we are going to successfully fill that need. MMS Cleaning Service’s investment in personal relationships and employee empowerment will also help differentiate it from its competitors. Starting off with family, we plan to hire local employees that will help capitalize on the importance of building personal relationships because MMS Cleaning Services depends on customer loyalty. Our core customers will see a 25% increase in overall service awareness in year 1. We will focus strongly on building our service brand so customers don’t have to think twice when they’re in the market for residential cleaning services...

...Milestone 1 Business Problem A graduating senior, fresh out of college looking to land a potentially successful job is not aware that employers are now not only looking at grades but also the type of person they are based on what they can find on the internet. Think about how you present yourself on all social media sites — including Facebook, especially when seeking a job. Be mindful about your wall postings and status updates: you wouldn't want a possible future employer to view inappropriate content or pictures on your wall. Company Background LinkedIn is a free business social networking site that allows users who register to create a professional profile visible to others. Through the site, individuals can then maintain a list of known business contacts, known as Connections. LinkedIn users can also invite anyone to join their list of connections. LinkedIn offers an effective way by which people can develop an extensive list of contacts, as your network consists of your own connections, your connections’ connections (2nd degree connections), as well as your 2nd degree’s connections (called your 3rd degree connections). From this network, individuals can learn of and search for jobs, business opportunities, and people. LinkedIn also serves as an effective medium by which both employers and job seekers can review listed professional information about one another. LinkedIn follows strict privacy guidelines wherein all connections made are mutually confirmed and individuals...

...launching a business + blog who chose a method that I now love to use and help other people use: she wrote (actual) personalized + purposeful messages to each person. This may sound very “duh” to you, but make sure each time you reach out, you include: * a personal note that lets someone know this is not the same email/message 300 other people got; make a connection on a hobby, interest, desire, or need of theirs * a brief description of the type of work you are doing now and why it’s so important to you * the ways in which your friend/contact can help you (Do you want referrals if your friend knows someone in need of your services? Do you want people to share your message?) * a clear way for people to practically do what you’re asking/hinting (for example: if you’re asking for people to share your brand on Facebook, give them a brief description and picture “if they so choose to use it” . . . or if you’re asking for referrals from a good friend, give them an idea of what they could email out to others–and perhaps even give them a sweet freebie to distribute) * a sincere “thank you” for the person’s time in reading your message and in helping you any way they see fit Are you at a loss for where to pull personal connections from other than your phone’s contact book and Facebook friends list?

...get Bead Bar started on their journey into the information age. We have already gone through the planning phase in which we met with all the managers and key players to determine what the need of the system would be. Once we talked to each manager, we went through the system analysis phase to determine what hardware, software, databases and training would work best for our system. We will now begin the next steps of the process in which we will design our system, develop, test, and then roll it out to the entire company. Remember, we have decided to make this jump into the information age so that Bead Bar can grow its existing business and be more competitive in a growing market. In the systems analysis phase, we decided on purchasing 14 personal computer systems that would run and operate using Microsoft XP Windows Operating System. Each of these computers will be equipped with a standard keyboard, mouse and a LCD monitor. Each computer will need to have a processor at 2.8 MHz, 512 MB of memory, a CD Drive, and an 80 gigabyte hard drive. We will install one computer system at each of the company owned studios, one for each senior manager and will have one extra as a backup.
