Opening a Wholesale Food Business

July 1st, 2010

People who love gourmet food are always interested in sharing their knowledge and the most interesting and rewarding way to do this is to open a wholesale food business and invite friend and relatives to come and sample some on the first day of business.

The best way to do it is to avoid imploring them to buy even if your food is very good. Just relax and let them taste the different types of dishes freely in order to get them interested. This is a clever way of catching customers and retaining them; for after enjoying the food free of charge, they will surely feel like coming back for more.

Another way to get as many people as possible to sample your best dishes and create interest is by volunteering to feed people at a school function. This time you will need to display a number of different gourmet food items that can catch attention.

After succeeding with this, the next thing will be to accept invitations to host small parties like birthdays or house events. Within in no time at all, you will see many people beginning to show greater interest and these will help to set up a good clientele for you.

Anytime you get an invitation to attend a dinner party, offer to bring something along. Very soon you will find that you have built a good list of wholesale gourmet choices that can fascinate your friends.

Ten Mistakes in Making Acquisitions

May 9th, 2010

1. Speculating about a seller’s motives
At the end of the day, you will never know why or when a seller will decide to sell their business. You shouldn’t care why or when – what matters is that you want to be on that shortlist of potential buyers when the sale comes. Even if an ideal prospect was not interested, says, six months ago, there is still the possibility that he or she may change their mind. Keep in close contact so that they will remember you when they are about to sell again.

2. Failing to remember that buying is selling
Not every company is sold to the highest bidder. Most sellers are concerned with the nature of the “fit” and the way they perceive that they and their employees will be treated following the sale. Compare it to the first few dates in a relationship. If you aren’t nice, courteous and respectful during the early stages, then why would your partner think about getting married one day?

3. Not using experienced professional advisers
For the first few acquisitions, it is wise to use qualified advisers. Naïve buyers and sellers frequently make mistakes, and mistakes can prove more costly than if they were to hire a professional adviser. Some buyers think that a failed acquisition effort is not worth paying for. Sometimes, though, you make more money by not doing a deal. The aim is to do a right deal at a right price for you. What your adviser can do is to keep you up-to-date about what competitor buyers are doing, both from direct experience and research. Their knowledge of the market can prove invaluable in helping you to bring an acquisition successfully to a close.

4. Discussing price without having an objective, underlying pricing rationale
Sellers who are offered four times the earnings before interest and taxes may be offended. If the difference can be explained by a severe working capital deficit, be able to demonstrate that your offer is really six and a half times this, less the necessary adjustment for the working capital you will need to inject into the company. Have the ability to articulate your valuation rationale and negotiate from it rather than adopt a “Higher!” or “Lower!” approach.

Conference Call, Great Facility to Help Business

March 2nd, 2010

Yesterday a potential client was adament that I had to travel to a weekly catch-up meeting every week. So much so that he put it into the proposed contract. Meetings are essential for my business. But, sometimes I find getting to meetings impossible. So I use conference calls.

Numerous conference call companies are available and the price of the service continues to decrease. You don’t have to reserve meeting rooms or restaurant reservations. Obviously there is no need to travel so that is a significant cost saving. Conference call systems are cheap, as the bill will not be much more than a normal telephone call. So taking all that into account you can save a lot of money and to be honest I’ve travelled extensively throughout my career and I’m getting to the stage where I detest having to travel for meetings.

I know I’m not breaking any boundaries by extolling the virtues of conference calling. But I really couldn’t live without them so I thought I’d post something here.
