                            Juan Ortega explains business coaching, why it works, and why your company should consider it.     Transcript:  One of the things that we've all learned through different research and studies that have been done is that 80% of the chance of us getting our next customer is going to be from a customer that we've already met or serviced at one point. Only 20% of those next sales are coming from people we've never met. Of that 20%, almost 90% of that is coming from referrals, so it might have been someone that I've never met, but it's coming through somebody that I've done business with. So, what I ask my business owners to do is, do a mini-research study in your business. If you find that 80% of your business is coming from your existing clients and referrals, then devote 80% of your resources and allocate the time and money to focus on it. So, it needs to be equivalent to the business that's coming in at the moment.  Please share this interview with your Social Media contacts!  

Tawnya Gilreath of LA Business Pros talks about a 12 month Value Driver process they use to Guarantee a 30% increase in the value of a business from the time they initially value your business. Transcript:  Tawnya: Basically, we put together a systematic process where we could help business owners that want to increase the value of their business before putting it on the market, and it is a 12 month program. Now, understand that some business owners are burned out and they don't want to wait 12 months. However, for those that do, we guarantee we will be able to sell their business for at least 30% more than the initial valuation when we started. So, when you think about that in terms of, if a business is worth $2M at the beginning, that means 12 months later, we guarantee that we're going to be able to sell it for $2.6M.  Bill: So, by working with you and you coming in and saying, "You've got to fix this, put processes and systems in place, work on all these different areas," they're going to drive up the va
