The Million Dollar Battery Problem(2)? Phone manufacturers report that 80 to 90 percent of returned batteries have no faults or can easily be repaired with battery analyzing equipment. The remaining 10 to 20 percent, which do not easily recover with basic service, can often be restored with extended programs. Only a small percentage of batteries returned under warranty exhibit non-correctable faults. Not all batteries and portable equipment under warranty fail due to manufacturer’s defects. A service manager for a major mobile phone manufacturer hinted that submersion into a cup of coffee or soft drink is a sizable contributor to equipment and battery failures. Apparently, the acids in the beverages manage to corrode the electrical conductors. Submersion into coffee occurs when the user mistakes the coffee cup for the phone cradle. In an effort to salvage returned batteries, a leading mobile phone manufacturer segregates battery packs according to purchase date. Packs returned within the thirty-day warranty period are marked as type B. The batteries are then sent to a regional service center where they are serviced with battery analyzers. If the batteries are clean, (have no coffee residue) and regain a capacity of 80 percent or higher, the packs are relabeled and sold as a B class product. Over 90 percent of their returned batteries have been reclaimed with this program. On the strength of this success, some battery-refurbishing houses have extended the service to include batteries of up to one year old. The service center experiences a 40 to 70 percent restoration yield in repairing these older batteries. The battery-refurbishing centers are said to make a profit. Equally important, such programs reduce the environmental impact of battery disposal. more info:www.abatteryweb.com
Time and money are the only ways to grow your online business in a fast and steady manner. So when you first start seeing the dollars coming in, reinvest them, don't blow it all on your dream holiday, until your business is established and bringing in a steady income. A business where you can create money on demand.
The key is to assess whether a purchase will have a return on investment. If you are just throwing money at a business and hoping for the best, then stop now! You have to think about your purchases - are you making a calculated investment and will it make your business more money in the long run?
So if you spend your money on a business in a box with a carbon copy website, which hundreds of other people have bought, then that is not a wise investment. However, if you hired a copywriter for $5000 to make sure your sales copy is really good, unique and converts well, then that would be an investment, as you'd expect to make a lot more than your initial investment layout.
The foundation of your online business is consistency, so initially your investments should be geared to achieving this consistency. Consistency in business online means steady flow of traffic, that traffic signing up to your list are ultimately buying your offerings and recommendations. The most important of those three is getting people to sign up to your list, as you have probably heard before - the money is the list. It is the way to create money on demand and the key to creating that million dollar business.
Another way of thinking about ROI, is the personal cost. Is working a 14 hour day having an affect on your family or even your health? Would you like to spend more time with them, but are stuck doing business chores? This is where the ROI is your family time which you can't get back and outsourcing would be a wise investment in this case.
Lastly along this same line of thought, are you doing what you enjoy and using your strengths in the business activities you do day to day? Because you know the answer again - outsource it, so you can work on what you do enjoy.
Remember, you just run the show; you don't have to do all the performances as well. And that's how to determine whether investments in time or money will pay off in profits or pleasure time.
