How A Highly-Ranked Amazon Store Transitioned From A Two-Man Business To Hiring Its First Employees

Sometimes as a one- or two-person business grows and has the opportunity to serve more customers, it makes sense to add traditional employees. In some cases, it’s more cost-effective than working with contractors. It might make sense to pay a talented graphic designer $150 an hour for a ten-hour project but if you need the same designer for forty hours a week for an indefinite period, you’ll probably be able to negotiate a discount in exchange for giving the designer the certainty of a steady income.

More important, if you’re going after big projects or orders or expanding your business, you need to know that you can deliver what you promised. Having staff can ensure that you do. “Going from solo entrepreneur to building a team around you and scaling is heavily dependent on the ability to hire more people and build out a sufficient team,” says Tal Masica, 32,

Amazon Business launches ‘Punch-in’ procurement tool

For the billions of dollars in annual transactions on Amazon Business, many of them are processed when buyers use punch-out software to connect to the marketplace from their company’s procurement and spend management software.

Now, businesses can give their buyers the option to go straight to Amazon Business to make a purchase and “punch in” to their company’s procure-to-pay (P2P) spend management software to maintain records of their purchasing activity.

Amazon launched yesterday Amazon Business Punch-in, an online tool designed to let companies manage their buyers’ spending even when they don’t start a purchase through their e-procurement software system. Amazon introduced the Punch-in product yesterday with procurement technology vendor Compleat Software. Amazon says it is already adding “new partners” yet to be named.

“This new feature will simplify the buying process for many of our customers,” says Todd Heimes, global director of Amazon Business. “For those companies

HUMOR: Get swabbed, not robbed with help of Better Business Bureau | Lifestyles

If you got a COVID-19 test in the bay of an abandoned, burned-out Jiffy Lube from a lab technician named Skeeter who asked way too many personal questions, you may have been scammed.

The Better Business Bureau asked me, a semi-trustworthy regional media figure, to warn you, the faithful newspaper readership, about a new con: phony websites and suspicious in-person testing sites used to collect personal and insurance information.

Here’s how it works, according to the Better Business Bureau email I failed to delete:

Several websites appear after an online search for a COVID-19 testing site in your area, and a testing clinic affiliated with a local pharmacy or a pop-up run by a local group is selected.

In one version of this scam, you arrive at the testing site and are asked to complete a form with personal information, your driver’s license and medical insurance cards are photographed. Then,

5 Elements of a Successful Business Name

Your business name is the first thing your customers see. Getting first impressions right ensures that your business name properly reflects your brand so that customers differentiate it from your competition. Over the years, scientists have studied how long people need to make judgments, which names win attention, and how important name familiarity is.

According to researchers, people need up to 3 seconds to make a snap judgment on meeting someone. Therefore, the same applies to how they identify and connect to your business.

In another study done on behalf of the Society of Personal and Social Psychology, researchers concluded that uncomplicated names had increased their chance of success by 33%. Finally, the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan found that the more familiar a brand name is to its targeted audience, the better the product will sell.
