[W816]Win Win Spiral Model
by Kelly Lefevre And Molly Luffy, Kel
Have you ever experienced a win-win when doing business? Doesn't it feel good? We think so! We are constantly looking to create win-win opportunities in our business. In fact, it's one of our core company values. We talk about win-wins. We tell people about win-wins. And we spend time trying to look for ways to create win-wins on a regular basis.

We really love helping others create business success and satisfaction, and if there is a way for us to do that and to benefit our business at the same time - wow! We just think that is the coolest thing ever!

One win-win we've identified as a great thing for any business, is offering apprenticeships. Think back to your early twenties. Remember those days when you were trying to figure out how things really worked in the business world? Did someone offer you an opportunity to learn some real life business skills? If so, wasn't that incredibly beneficial to your development as a future professional? And if you weren't that lucky, can you see how that might have escalated your success-factor?

First, identify some time-draining responsibilities that you or your employees have. Things like administrative duties and research. These are a great start to a job description for your Apprentice.

Just think of what you could do with that time. It would be like finding an extra 2 hours a day, at least! Make a proactive plan for what you will do with your new-found extra time. What are the most productive income-producing activities you do in your business? Wouldn't it be great if you could spend your extra time doing those things? Can you see what a positive impact this would have on your business? Pretty exciting, right?

Next, call your local college's career office and start the conversation. Tell them about your business and how you can offer some real life experience to a student in the way of an apprenticeship. Some apprenticeships are offered at no charge to the company. The students are willing to work for free just to gain some real life experience. Others require that you offer a salary. You can discuss these options with the career office, as well.

Offering apprenticeships really is an easy way to create another win-win in your business. You win by gaining extra time and your apprentice wins by gaining valuable real-life business experience. What could be better?

Why are hundreds and thousands of entrepreneurs setting up online businesses? There are several reasons for this phenomenal trend. Foremost among the reasons is that the Internet opens up an easier access to a wider market. In fact, the whole world becomes the market of the online business. An online business physically located in one city, for example in New York, can sell its products to clients that live across the globe. Of course, there will arrangements regarding shipment, but such things become SOP or standard operating procedures.

Today, a major part of online businesses is the setting up of affiliate marketing programs. The existence of such programs has attracted not only entrepreneurs and businessmen, but ordinary people who are looking into having their own online business. Affiliate marketing has become the entry point of many new businessmen.

Essentially, affiliate marketing is a business relationship between the affiliate and the merchant, who is the owner of an online company which is selling the product.. Upon entering the affiliate marketing program, the merchant is actually reducing the cost of advertising his products. He need not advertise because the affiliates are going to do this part of the business.

On the other hand, the affiliates will be willing and eager to promote and advertise the products of the merchants, without the hassle of taking orders or the demand of delivering the products on time, or the pressure of keeping the customers happy. The affiliates have already specialized in one small aspect of the business, and yet can still become part of another online business.

The merchant need not worry about wages for the affiliates because he is not obligated to pay salaries. What he should pay for are the commissions of the affiliate that will be computed depending on the agreed compensation package.

One package is called pay-per-click in which the affiliate is paid when a visitors clicks on the banner of the merchant. Another package is pay-per-lead in which the visitor has subscribed and has provided names of potential clients. And the third package is the pay-per-sale, in which the visitor purchases a product.

The affiliate is not limited by a certain amount of income. There will be no minimum nor maximum sales for the affiliate. The absence of minimum income removes the pressure on the affiliate, especially the new ones. And the absence of maximum limit paves the way to huge income opportunities.

Therefore, the situation created in affiliate marketing is a situation which is beneficial to both the merchant and the affiliate.
