The Nexus Challenge



We all get used to “things being a certain way” and often-times if we have nothing to compare to, we may not know nor realize what could be better. Please take a few moments to consider your answers to the following questions. We want to provoke some thought.

We trust this Q & A will assist you in deriving a quick “snapshot” of how your company may currently be doing. Not everything is going to be applicable to your situation, but some of it, just might… and perhaps that’s where we can help you. You may want to grab a pen and jot down anything that you can relate to…


ORGANIZATIONAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT
Do you ever find yourself re-examining your company vision and mission, who you are and what you want to do for your customers, or how to do it better? Do you need some help getting your team re-organized or re-motivated? Do you need a little HR Development help? Do you have a Policies & Procedures Manual, or an Employee Guidebook, or does it need to be updated? Do you need to review your staff job descriptions and do a little reshuffling of your “team” to get the most out of it? Do ALL your staff have that same passion for building success as you do? Are you as positive & excited as you once were, in the midst of our sometimes frustrating, “survival of the fittest” world?
= Clear Direction, Definitive Strategies, and Maximized Team Strengths!
= A Satisfied Team and Better Results!


COMPUTER SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE & OPTIMIZATION
Do you need some help setting up your new computers? Do you need some help getting your important files and configuration settings off your old machines and onto your new ones? Or are your existing computer systems & software running as smoothly as they should? Or do they seem to be slower and/or crashing more these days? We’ll make sure they’re performing like new. Some companies may have somebody in-house that keeps an eye on their computers, but are you 100% absolutely positive that your computers are ALWAYS fully-maintained, and secure and protected from viruses or hackers? Growing businesses can’t afford the surprise nor results of a virus attack or security breach. And neither can the smaller SOHO or home-based business either... We’ll ensure that you’re not vulnerable.
= Stable and Secure, Trouble-free, Peak Performance just as it should be!
= No More Downtime! No More Hindrances!


COMPUTER SYSTEMS CUSTOMIZATION
Are you using 100% of the capabilities of your software applications, or maybe only 20% to 30% like most people? Do you feel that your particular usage of your software programs and your computers isn’t really ideally suited nor customized to exactly what you do and how you want to, or need to do it? Or are you finding, whether help or more often hindrance, that you are always having to work in accordance with how “it” does what “it does”? There can be a considerably more efficient and productive means of configuring and operating your computers and software? You may have had nothing to compare to… Customization puts you in control!
= Custom-Configured for Your Realities not some inefficient generic defaults!
= YOU Being the Master of Your Computer, NOT the Other Way Around!


ARMING YOUR SALES FORCE
Do you and your Sales Reps and/or Field technicians have ALL the sales and marketing tools they need “with them” on the road? Or do they regularly have to call back in or drive back into the office to get critical support information that they often require? Wouldn’t it be great if they could have immediate access to what they need with “one-click direct access” on their laptops? And if they don’t have laptops, is there another way to ensure they have what they need? “YES” is the answer.
= An Automated, Armed, and Always Ready Team!
= In-the-Field Customer Service & Support on an Unprecedented Scale!


INFORMATION RESOURCES OPTIMIZATION
Do you or your Sales & Service people have to constantly refer back to literature binders and filing cabinets housing your information resources? Or is it the typical, “Hey!…who walked off with my product binder again?” Or are they having to regularly put customers temporarily on hold or make call-backs to them, because they don’t have the resources they need, IMMEDIATELY, at their fingertips? Wouldn’t it be great if while they’re on the phone with their customer, they can “one-click access” the product info pertaining to the customer’s needs, as well as specific application support and product selection materials, so that before they’re even finished that (now less lengthy) call, they’ve already faxed or emailed that spec sheet or application note to that very happy customer, or even “taken the order”? THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PRODUCTIVITY BOOSTERS WE CAN PROVIDE FOR BUSINESSES!
= More Effective and Productive Team, and More Satisfied Customers!
= More Orders!


INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE MARKETING
The market is always evolving. Have you taken any time lately to think about your sales and marketing materials, how you’re “pitching” your products & services in the market place, how you’re “putting your best foot forward”? Many companies don’t allocate enough resources to marketing themselves and end up ‘”paying the price” for it. Is it time to make any changes or enhancements? Are any of your competitors, somehow, still enticing away business out of YOUR market? Are you pulling in as many new customers as you’d like? You know the times have changed… Have YOU taken the time to consider any changes YOU MAY need to make?
= More Attractive, More Relevant to Your Customers!
= A Forward-Thinking Business That’s Always In-Touch with Its Customers!


WEB AD? OR DYNAMIC INTERACTIVE WEBSITE?
Have you given any thought to an internet presence? Sooner than later everybody’s going to be on the net… Whoever takes early advantage of this, gains an edge… Do you think it might not be applicable to your particular industry or the “way” you do your business? You may want to look around… Are you aware of what your peers are up to? Is it wiser to wait till others do it first…and maybe scoop the customers that should be yours? Or maybe you already have a website – does it need any updating or a little “more” put into it? Is it basically just a simple “web ad” with a little info about your company, or is it a dynamic and interactive resource site where Dealers and/or end-customers can come and learn and buy, and want to come back again and again for very good reason? Do you fully understand the incredible tool this can potentially be for your company’s growth and future? It’s definitely in your best interests to face this sooner than later.
= More Exposure, More Accessibility, More To Offer, More Credibility!
= Marketing Yourself on a Grander Scale!


CORPORATE PRESENCE ENHANCEMENT
Do you need to revise or put any “new look” to your price lists, brochures, or company services profile? Could your company image maybe use some enhancement? Is your customer seeing what they want, and getting all the information they need, to naturally oblige them to buy from you, or hire you? Do you have a memorable company “identity” that is pervasive throughout all of your sales and marketing materials, and that’s continually reinforcing your company’s image and good reputation? Do customers “know” your company or… “just the lines that you represent”? Are you in need of any image re-iteration or revision? Are you still marketing yourself as you did 5 yrs ago? 10 yrs ago? Do your customers know how you have changed over the years? The market has changed and customers’ tastes have changed. Have you “updated yourself” lately?
= Enhanced Corporate Image and Industry Presence!
= Renewed and New Customers! Market Share Growth!


CREATIVE SALES AND MARKETING SERVICES AND SUPPORT
Could you use any help with creative ideas and unique design? Promo & ad writing? Brochures, catalogs, manuals? Technical writing? Proposals & quotations? Functional layouts? Diagramming? Do you need any help creating any new training materials, support information, or documents for your products & services, or work you’ve done for your clients?
= More Creative, More Professional Results!
= Setting Your Company Apart From the Rest of the Pack!


MORE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS
“One-to-One” is very important. But are you effectively capitalizing on any group presentation software along with other creative sales and marketing materials and tools, and strategies, to communicate in the most professional manner with potential customers from your varied markets?
= More Capable, More Effective, More Strategic & Targeted Communications!
= Maximized Communications!


BETTER INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
How long is it taking you to do a targeted mailing, mass emailing, or broadcast fax for a promotion? Days? Weeks? Do you “farm it out” to somebody else to do it for you? It’s very possible to enable you to do this in less than an hour? Time is money… Do you have an effective mailing process in place? Are you reaching as many people as you can and are you getting a good return on that?
= Better Methods and Means, and a Better Return!
= Better Bottom-Line Per Effort!


ADVANCED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DEVELOPMENT
Do you have some great ideas for new products and services but just aren’t sure what to do next? Or perhaps you just don’t have enough time to get them up and running? Do you need someone to manage a new project for you? Do you need help launching any new products or product lines you just took on? Perhaps you’ve been considering “how” to develop some new business and tap into some new markets? We can help you…
= Creating, Birthing, Launching, Growing, Reviving…
= Continued Growth! Increased Market Share! Successful New Endeavours!


SPACE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
How’s your usage of your real estate? Does your show room or demo room or retail frontage show how professional, organized, and successful your company really is? Does it entice people and draw them in? Does it make them interested in what you’re offering? Does it convince them that, “This company is very together…I want this caliber of professional service and technology for us!”? What memorable “first and lasting impression” are you giving?
= A Little Face-Lift Can Go A Long Way!
= Everything Counts When it Comes to the Customer CHOOSING YOU!
