Don't risk Your MortgageTaking out a an additional Mortgage, buying a car or making large credit card charges before you close could risk your loan commitment. Lenders run a second credit check before closing to check for new charges.Time to CloseClosing at the start of a month, the lender would need you to "prepay" the interest on your loan from day of closing to end of the month. Therefore, the cash you need to close would be more than if you close at the ending of the month. Talk with your lender about this.Buyers RemorseIt's general for buyers to

Make the Process VisibleIn the 1960’s, when the fast food industry was brand new, most restaurants had a wall between the order counter and the kitchen. Customers didn’t know how their food was being prepared or how long it would take (or if it had been pre-prepared and resting under heat lamps awaiting an order).In the seventies, some restaurants took down the wall so that customers could see who was preparing their food, how it was being prepared and about how long it would take. This gave customers psychological control of the “order-to-delivery” process by making it visible: if custom
What was more interesting is that these companies began growing faster even as the venture capital markets dried up completely. They found a better approach to growing at a dizzying rate – by compressing time.
Compression in Action
Compressing time in a business means reducing the time between two salient points of development. For example, reducing the amount of time it takes to acquire a customer. Or reducing the amount of time it takes to service that same customer. Or even better, reducing the amount of time it takes to get paid by that customer!
The bane of most business plans is that they quickly fall into the rut of doing what seems obvious, creating a sequential and time-intensive approach to growth. Amazon could have started out with one small store and then built that store out over time. Instead, they conceived (and built) the world’s largest book store from the get-go, and then spent the rest of their time keeping that store in business. They essentially built their company backwards.

Most culinary schools today are still teaching their students how to compute the wrong food cost. Granted the math is right, but the dollars involved are hurting the bottom line of our restaurants. The problem arises from the separation of percentage points and dollars.Banks Use Dollars, not Percentage Points One thing I am quite sure of is that banks do not accept percentage points as deposits, believe me I’ve tried! For some reason the teller just looked at me dumbfounded then just started chuckling. Matter of fact she had so much fun with it she showed the teller next to her who

Congratulations. Taking the time to consider your staff's appearance is a great step towards building your brand awareness, increasing productivity and much more. With all the challenges that restaurant managers and owners face, it is understandable that restaurant uniforms come close to the bottom of the list. With more than 925,000 restaurant locations in the United States, restaurant competition is growing fierce. If you have great food and service, you are well on your way to winning customers. But, there is more to it than just that. Many times people are looking for a good experience just as much as
Google and eBay took a different approach. They realized that in order to grow fast they would have to acquire customers at an alarming rate. They also realized that they would need to acquire millions of free customers in order to get hundreds of paying customers. Their models essentially gave the services away for free in order to compress the timelines of customer acquisition. With a huge network of customers in hand, they can now spend their time servicing the paying customers that shook out along the way.
Squeezing out the Empty Space
When I talk about squeezing out the empty space, I’m not talking about getting rid of the BizDev Team. I’m talking getting rid of the bloated, sequential processes that keep companies from growing faster. Let’s start with a problem that just about every business faces – the time it takes to acquire and service a customer.
With an eye on compression, the first thing we should do is agree on the goal. The goal is to get the customer to pay for your service. Everything else is just a means to that end.
For our own purposes, we’ll say we are a consulting company that sells it’s time to clients for a fee. We may decide that we can condense our sales cycles by picking up work that other companies have sold and providing our people on th
