    So You Want to Be a Bodyguard?
    Then let me start by helping out. The politically correct phrase these days is not "bodyguard" but personal protection specialist, executive protection specialist or close protection operative, depending on your place of training and other preferences.There can be no better time than this, if you want to excel in this charismatic business.

    Don't Waste Your Talent: Finding The Right Career For YOU
    As I watched the all star game, it struck me how we need to consider our talents and how they fit into this game called life. What position can we play that brings us excitement, challenge and success? A position that allows us the opportunity to work hard yet is worth the effort. A position where sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail but always feeling the importance of the position as it delivers benefits to the team?In my work, I strive to assist others in understand
    Marketing ROI

    Running a small business and especially one that is at the start up phase requires being very diligent in making sure that all expenditures and costs are made with an eye towards the value of spending money on that initiative. As an entrepreneur, you will make many decisions that force you to choose between two options or more and demand that you make the decision based on what is"best for the business." To do that with marketing, means constructing a way of comparing against very different components (run an ad or conduct a workshop? Enhance the website or invest in a brochure? etc.).

    Unfortunately, marketing is not always easily quantified. For instance, while the value of brand awareness and recognition is a very important piece to any marketing plan, it is often very difficult to calculate in terms of conversion to sales. Still, there are techniques you can use to validate your marketing plan before you implement it and these same techniques can also be used to measure it during and after execution.

    To calculate a marketing plan's expected ROI, you need to compile the following information in a Return on Investment worksheet:

    Marketing Vehicle Used. Take every marketing vehicle and enter it into your ROI worksheet even if the vehicle has no cost. Be sure to include ALL marketing expenses, including labor (staff and outside services), brand awareness activities (public relations, advertising, speaking engagements), marketing communications (print and web), and direct marketing activities (direct mail, email, search engine ads).

    Number of Impressions Made. For each marketing vehicle, enter the number of impressions your vehicle will make each month. (i.e. How many mailers are going out? How many attendees are coming to the show? How many readers will read the publication? How many guests will attend the seminar? And so on.) If you can't quantify the expected impressions for a vehicle (some vehicles are in support of the overall program, but can't be easily quantified), use "0" as the number impressions and include its cost in the ROI equation.

    Expected Response Rate. For guidance on industry response rates, consider purchasing The Direct Marketing Association's annual study called the DMA Response Rate Study at www.the-dma.org. Otherwise, we recommend you use your past metrics. If you do not have a benchmark, and as an entrepreneurial start up, you may not, you will need to make a conservative estimate based on your best guess or hire a consultant to guide you.

    Annual Cost. For each vehicle you will need to calculate the annual cost to implement.

    Average Lead to Proposal Ratio and Average Close Rate. To truly calculate ROI from the above information, you will need to know (or be able to estimate) your lead to proposal ratio. That is the percentage of leads that become proposals on average. Additionally, you will want to know your company's average close rate. That is an average percentage of proposals, bids, or cost estimates that you win.

    Average Annual Customer Value (Sales). Finally, you will need to know (or be able to estimate) the average annual customer value in terms of the average sales per customer per year.

    From the above you should now be able to ESTIMATE how many leads your program should generate (given messaging, right mix of vehicles, appropriate target market, solid product offering, etc.), how many customers you should convert, and therefore your return on investment. The ROI formula you should use is the NUMBER OF IMPRESSIONS x EXPECTED RESPONSE RATE = LEADS GENERATED PER YEAR x LEAD-TO-PROPOSAL % = NUMBER OF PROPOSALS x CLOSE RATE = NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS x ANNUAL CUSTOMER VALUE = REVENUE - TOTAL MARKETING EXPENSE = ROI.
