4 Ways to Negotiate Through This Economy

4 Ways to Negotiate Through This Economy4 Ways to Negotiate Through This EconomyHow to request a salary increase during bad economic timesIn the early 1980s the country was in the midst of a recession to rival the one we are currently facing. Unemployment was in the double digits, and so was inflation. Yet I was able to negotiate a 50 percent salary increase when I took a job with a new firm in Washington, D.C. Although I would like to be able to say that my success was due to my extraordinary skill as a negotiator, it wasnt.I was still in my 20s at the time this was the first time I ever really had to negotiate my own compensation, and in hindsight, I made a lot of mistakes. The things I did do right, though, were to negotiate with the right employer at the right time, and convince them that I was the right candidate for the job. Then and only then did we seriously talk about money.With the economy being in the shape its in, if someone told you that you could go to your employer and successfully ask for a raise or move to a new employer with a substantial increase in compensation, you probably wouldnt believe him.Most people today are happy just to have a job.They assume that they cant get a raise or get a significant salary increase from a new employer because times are tough. Most employers are only too happy to reinforce that myth. When you know how to negotiate properly, however, the state of the economy is irrelevant, particularly for senior-level executives.In buchung to be able to increase your compensation significantly, the first thing you need to do is sell yourself to an employer convince the person filling the job that you can satisfy some need he or she deems particularly important.They will find a way to meet your salary expectations.If you are talking to an employer that really wants to hire you, for you, the economy is always good.It also helps if the employer finds you. When an employer or a recruiter seeks you out, it greatly increases your b argaining power. Take steps to make that more likely to happen. Be sure you have a powerful presence where employers are looking for people with your skills. The best way to do that is to expand your professional network, speak at conferences and enhance your Internet presence on Web sites where you are likely to be found by the employers you would like to work for.Once you are found, make sure you appeal to whatever the employer cares about most. When the person hiring or promoting you recognizes that they need you, they are willing to pay more. Their focus then becomes one of recruiting you and making you feel good about the opportunity rather than negotiating with you to save a few dollars on your salary. When an employer views the situation in that light, they will not only give you more, they will do so gladly. It is your job to make sure that they never forget that they are trying to recruit you. Even if you have initiated the contact with the employer or recruiter, once you c onvince them that you are the right person to do what is most important to them, you will be well positioned to get what you want.Here are four ways to increase your ability to negotiate compensation even when times are bad1. Emphasize the skills you have that are most important to the employer. Making money or saving money is always important when times are tough. So is making your prospective boss look good.2. Let the employer know you really want the job because we all want to hire people who really want to work for us. But make sure it does not seem like you need the job because no one wants to hire someone who is desperate.3. Have another offer, or at least be talking to other potential employers. Competition for your services makes you more valuable in the eyes of a prospective employer and greatly increases your leverage.4. Avoid talking about money, or at least be vague about what it will take to hire you, until the employer is ready to make you an offer. At that point, you will have the most bargaining power.Your value to a prospective employer does not go down just because times are tough. Good employees are even more important to the success of an organization in a challenging economic environment.Know what the skills you bring to the organization are worth in the job market. Convince the employer that you are the person they want to hire by focusing on what they care about most. Then dont be afraid to negotiate.

Lessons entrepreneurs should learn from food delivery revolution

Lessons entrepreneurs should learn from food delivery revolutionLessons entrepreneurs should learn from food delivery revolutionIn the last ten years, the food delivery industry has exploded with growth.Companies such as Seamless, GrubHub, Caviar, UberEats, DoorDash, Postmates and Bite Squad have all found a foothold in the market. And the founders of many of these companies have already enjoyed successful exits.On example is Caviar, which Square acquired in 2015 for a rumored $90 million. Eat24 is another success story. After purchasing the company for $134 million in 2015, Yelp recently sold it to Grubhub for a reported $287.5 million.With so many young companies enjoying so much success, every entrepreneur should take notice and ask, What underlying themes made all this possible? Why are so many food delivery services succeeding, while other new businesses fail?In this post, Ill unpack 3 big picture lessons we can all learn from the surprising success of so many restaurant deliver y services.1. Customers are hungry for products that save them timeEarlier this year, a review performed by venture capitalist database CB Insights uncovered a surprising insight into why so many new businesses fail.After analyzing 101 startup post-mortems, the reviewers found that 42% of the business failures stemmed from a lack of demand for the product or service being offered.This one flaw killed more companies than infamous challenges such as cash flow, competition, and poor timing, just to name a few.Its a sobering finding, and it begs the question, How can I create a product I know people will want?While theres no perfect answer, a great first step is to make sure your product or service addresses a painful problem your customers desperately want to solve.And in our modern culture, one problem we all face is not having enough time.Food delivery services have capitalized on this trend. They dont make food - they just make it more convenient. And theyve earned billions of doll ars in the process.2. You dont have to reinvent the wheel to launch a successful businessTheres a crucial difference between being an inventor and being an entrepreneur.While inventors are constantly searching for the next big idea, an entrepreneurs goal isnt necessarily to create something radically new and unique. Your mission is to start and grow a successful business - to create value for customers, jobs for your employees, and income for yourself.While starting a new business is always risky, one way to avoid some of this risk is by modeling your business after competitors that are already succeeding. Few industries have demonstrated the power of this strategy like food delivery.After watching early movers like Seamless, Grubhub, and Eat24 succeed, Postmates followed in 2011, Caviar and Bite Squad arrived in 2012, Doordash welches founded in 2013, and Uber launched UberFRESH (now known as UberEats) in 2014.None of these startups overhauled the business model. They just made sm all tweaks. Usually, that simply meant taking the proven concept to new locations or partnering with new restaurants. And today, the lines of differentiation are even less clear. Many restaurants partner with multiple food delivery services.While most entrepreneurs view established competitors as a red flag, more experienced entrepreneurs see a shortcut - a chance to learn faster by studying the successes and failures the early movers experienced.3. Business models that generate repeat customers have a serious advantageWinning new customers is hard work, especially for startups without much attention or credibility.So after youve done the difficult work of getting people to actually try your product or service, you want to offer these new fans a way to keep giving you money - in the near future.Food delivery services are built on this model of repeat transactions. This is part of what makes them so successful - and attractive to investors. Repeat customers provide baseline revenu e from which to grow.But baseline revenue is not the only reason startups fueled by repeat transactions are so powerful.As Russell Brunson, the author of DotCom Secrets, explains, The person who can spend the most money to acquire a customer wins. Done, thats it.Higher customer lifetime value can help you afford lower margins upfront, which enables you to accelerate growth by paying affiliates for leads, like Caviar does, or offering coupons and discounts like Bitesquad to convince customers to give you a try.For service businesses (like food delivery), generating recurring sales can be fairly simple. Once a customer starts using a particular physician, car wash, barber shop, or guitar teacher, theyre likely to keep using them (pending a good experience).But for some product-based businesses, especially those selling goods that dont need to be restocked or replaced frequently, you might have to get creative.Apple increases the frequency of phone upgrades by updating the iPhone yearl y. Microsoft upsells Xbox Live subscriptions (enabling online multiplayer capability) to owners of its gaming consoles. Successful board games like Cards Against Humanity create expansion packs. Movie studios release sequels to their most successful films.Whatever approach you take, finding a way to keep customers coming back is crucial.A final thought The success of so many food delivery startups is remarkable. And I havent even mentioned Deliveroo, Just Eat, or FoodPanda - three services outside the U.S.While we can certainly learn from the successes and failures of individual companies like Postmates or UberEats, we can learn even more by looking at the industry as a whole.And perhaps the most important lesson we can take away is Sometimes the most crucial ingredient to success is a willingness to try.Kyle Youngis helping creative people achieve big goals that matter.

Using LinkedIn to Find Internships

Using LinkedIn to Find InternshipsUsing LinkedIn to Find InternshipsLinkedIn has quickly become the elite of social networking sites for professionals. Unlike Facebook, which encourages you to share what movie you saw last night and where you went on vacation, LinkedIn is focused on professional people and how to make connections to learn more about jobs and industry leaders in their field. Many students know about and have used LinkedIn, but Im still surprised at how many have either never heard of it or who say they started a LinkedIn profile but never finished. The value of LinkedIn is through connections. Building connections on LinkedIn is easy once you understand their value and once you get the hang of it. Once youve accomplished this, you should be able to land that internship. Companies Tap Into LinkedIn for Many Reasons Supervisors usually have their LinkedIn profiles public to reach out and make connections with people currently working or looking to get into the field . Companies can participate in LinkedIn groups where they can communicate with individuals who are interested in the company or in a specific career field or industry. Recruiters and company management can search for people based on their knowledge, skills, and previous experience, and can check out their employment history to see if they would be a good fit for the organization. LinkedIn provides a way for people to find potential contacts with whom they can connect to learn about potential internships or jobs. Create Your Profile The first step, if you already havent, is to create your profile. Here are a few things you may want to consider Make your profile as professional as possible. Your profile is how you will represent yourself online. Its important to take the time to create an effective profile on LinkedIn that will get results. Be sure to include all of your past history, such as education, academics, volunteer, activities, summer jobs and internships to represent you rself professionally online. Your LinkedIn profile will act as your online resume, so its important that its detailed, complete and has no errors. Be honest, truthful and dont embellish. Be sure you use a professional looking photo in your Profile that will make you marketable and recognized across the web. Find People on LinkedIn Build your network. If you connect your email address with your profile, LinkedIn will automatically scour your contacts for any possible connections. You can also search for and connect with people who have worked with or attended school with you. An excellent way to find previous colleagues, managers, professors, peers, and even alumni of your college is to use the Advanced button on the right side of the search bar. It is here that you can enter a keyword, first name, last name, title, company, school (college), and location to find people you may want to connect with. You will also get invitations to connect from those who view your Profile and wan t to connect online. And remember to keep updating your list as you move ahead in your career. Recommendations Are Key Get recommendations. Ask the people youre connected with on LinkedIn to provide a recommendation on your (past or current) performance. This may be a professor or a previous employer. Supervisors and people hiring for internships will check these out, so dont discount their power. And remember to return the favor if youre able to- its a professional courtesy if you can provide a recommendation for someone whos done the saatkorn for you. You may want to check out this video, How to Ask for References After an Internship, to better understand the reference process. LinkedIn Groups Check with your college or academic department to see if they have a LinkedIn group where you can instantly connect with thousands of people who have already joined and are participating on the site. You can also join other groups based on your professional interests. So its a good i dea to search for any groups that may lead to future internships. Search for Internships and Jobs You can search for internships and jobs on LinkedIn. Check out companies and the job search section to uncover opportunities in a career field and location of interest. You can also reach out to your connections to lead you in the right direction. LinkedIn now makes it easier to apply for a position. If you find an internship that you just cant pass up, you may be able to apply directly through the site. LinkedIn has an Easy Apply button that allows you to upload a cover letter and resume that will go directly to the recruiter. If a job doesnt have that button, the Apply function also makes it easy to put your name in the hat. It may direct you to the companys website, landing you on the page for that specific internship. A lot of companies will also take out the guesswork in who is doing the hiring by posting the recruiters name and profile on the internship opportunity on LinkedIn . If you need to, you can message the person directly with any questions you may have. The Bottom Line All you have to do is get started. Once your profile is established, you can begin using all of the functionalities that LinkedIn was platzset to do. Its quite easy to maintain and, unlike Facebook, you wont need to change it on a daily basis. Updating the information every few months is enough and dont feel that you have to connect with everyone that wants to connect with you. Making the most of the site and your profile may help you get that much-needed internship- and get your career going.

Experts Discuss Advanced Manufacturing at Special Forum in Buffalo

Experts Discuss Advanced Manufacturing at Special Forum in Buffalo Experts Discuss Advanced Manufacturing at Special Forum in Buffalo Experts Discuss Advanced Manufacturing at Special Forum in Buffalo(From left) Tom Lange, director of modeling and simulation corporate R&D at Procter & Gamble, and Helmuth Ludwig, CEO of the Industry Sector USA at Siemens, were among the 50 executives who spoke at the Advanced Design and Manufacturing Impact Forum in Buffalo, N.Y. Photos by Wil Haywood and Roger Torda, ASME Public Information.The revolution being called advanced manufacturing is fundamentally changing the work of engineers. That welches ASME President J. Robert Sims opening message to hundreds of attendees at the Societys inaugural Advanced Design Manufacturing Impact Forum (ADMIF), in Buffalo, N.Y. The forum featured more than 50 executives offering insight on how advanced design and manufacturing drives the growth of their companies.It changes how we introduce safety and reliability into the design process, Sims continued. It changes standards that ensure well-designed, durable products. It changes education, not only for the next generation, but also for todays workforce.Helmuth Ludwig, CEO of the Industry Sector USA at Siemens, was full of optimism about the future of manufacturing in the United States. He emphasized that advances in manufacturing are now being driven by software that connects the manufacturing floor with design operations. Ludwig said that bringing those two worlds together can only be done by software. And there I think the U.S. is in an incredible position. The U.S. can lead the transformation of manufacturing worldwide. Scott Summit, senior director, Functional Design, 3D Systems Corp.Ludwig cited as an example a client who uses virtual twins - virtual representations of machine tools on industrial PCs. The operator sees exactly how the machine looks, but virtually, he explained. Now, before he changes over to a new part, he does the introduction process on this virtual model. When he does it on the real machine, he takes the machine out of the production process for eight to nine hours. Now he takes it out for about one hour, and does six to seven hours on the virtual machine. Thats an improvement of availability by 80 percent.Tom Lange, director of modeling and simulation corporate RD at Procter Gamble, said he wanted to dispel one myth, that high tech is only high tech products. He said designing good diapers, for example, depends on computational variant dynamics. And that packaging depends on structural mechanics. PG uses simulation just like high tech companies, Lange said. We do everything from molecular chemistry on formulations, to devices, to process, to machinery and equipment, to supply chain and throughput. Modeling and simulation runs through all that. I claim that computing has changed science and engineering for my products as much as aviation has changed travel for the rest of us. Scott Summit, senior director, Functional Design, 3D Systems Corp., promoted the cooperation of designers and engineers working in tandem to solve a medical outcome. He described a challenge in treating young scoliosis patients Youre asking an eight- to ten-year-old girl to do something she really, really doesnt want to do, which is to wear this brace for two to four years for up to 20 hours a day. A covering for a prosthetic leg that reflects the users love of motorcycles. This was built by Bespoke Solutions, founded by industrial designer Scott Summit.Summit went on to describe a solution that begins with new tools for prosthetists. These guys are very hands on, he said. They like plaster, they like files, hammers and wood. They dont like the idea of digital and technology. So if we give them CAD tools, this is lost on them. So instead we have a haptic device that lets them treat the digital object as though it were a physical device. Being able to manipulate it, physically, and feel full ta ctile feedback. This is a sculpting tool, which is perfect when you are talking about the body.Prosthetists using the new tools, coupled with 3D manufacturing, can now create braces that are lightweight and open, allowing the skin to breathe. It is more discrete, featuring a surface design the patient can choose herself. It gives her agency in the product, Summit said. She makes a mental shift. Instead of seeing this as a medical product, this is now a fashion device that happens to have a medical component to it. Thats vital, because that increases compliance. Bre Pettis, the CEO of MakerBot, described an earlier era for do-it-yourselfers It used to be if you had an idea you wanted to make, you basically needed to be a tycoon and have a factory. And now, you basically need a laptop, or a computer, a MakerBot. And youre off to the races. Catherine McCoy and MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis. McCoy won one of three MakerBot 3D Printers in a drawing at ADMIF. The other winners were Chris Mich aelis and David Lee.Looking ahead, Pettis said software improvements would further lower the barrier to entry for 3D printing. I used to tell people when I started the company, Youre gonna have to learn some CAD software. You have to be prepared to spend a couple of years getting good at it. Pettis said. He added that now, we have interns who get started when they are sixteen years old. And they are doing CAD drawings and CAD models that are as good as what engineers can produce in a couple of months.Pettis also dispelled the myth that inexpensive 3D printers are just for trinkets and toys. He described how Lockheed Martin used a MakerBot to rebuild a faulty part for the James Webb Space Telescope. They reckon they saved six months of time, he said. Donald K. Grimm, a senior researcher at GM, described how engineers are designing improved crash protection systems. The key is two-way connectivity. Derek Kuhn, vice president of marketing and sales for QNX Software Systems.A camera c ant see beyond a vehicle in front of you, said Grimm. Whereas your vehicle could be in communication with a vehicle that is five to 10 vehicles ahead on a highway. This vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity would alert drivers of sudden braking. Transmissions would help drivers see around corners, to avoid collisions with crossing traffic. Grimm explained that future connectivity will include vehicle-to-infrastructure systems - such as traffic signals that broadcast light changes - and vehicle-to-pedestrian systems that could protect bicyclists and construction workers. Derek Kuhn, vice president of marketing and sales for QNX Software Systems, spoke of the great value of connected cars, but also of the challenges in designing safe, secure and private systems. He said it is essential that software designers consistently use best practices and nurture a security culture given the potential hazards posed by hackers or the release of personal travel information. The Advanced Design and Man ufacturing Impact Forum was co-located with the ASME 2014 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and the Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE). It was hosted by the University at Buffalo Aug. 17-20, 2014. Next years event will be held August 2-5, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA.
