Hey J, just wanted to get you the latest update on the Membership Transition of Inside919.
The free Member option is simply not going to work out - with it I have no way to determine who is interested in being an active member and who is simply not checking their email or these comments.
Not requiring some sort of decision leaves us with the same problem I'm trying to resolve. I am sorry for the confusion I've caused.
Simply click on the link above to see where we're going and why.
Let me know if you have any questions - the Goal is to create a more active and dynamic business community.

Market Research Helps Shape Business Plans and Marketing Plans
Posted on April 17, 2012 at 9:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
A few weekends ago, I met someone whose son is opening up a new franchise in Florida. In our discussion he had mentioned that although his son had a business plan, he felt his son needed a little additional research in his plan. I told him that, unfortunately, this is a common situation.
In a slightly dated, but still relevant, 2009…

Last week I had the opportunity to talk to a group about using market research in their small business.
