    What is Business Process Automation?

    Business Process Automation or BPA for short. This was a buzzword a few years back with anyone and everyone claiming they were experts in this area. Maybe so. But to really realize its true potential you need to understand what business process automation is and why you will need it?

    If you own/run/manage a business, take a look around yourself at the daily activities you perform to run your business effectively and efficiently. If you do observe closely, you will quickly notice that you (or your staff) do perform a lot of tasks that are generally repetitive in nature or they may be administrative tasks; tasks that you have to perform and are necessary to run your business.

    Let me elaborate that with an example. A customer calls and enquires about a product you market. You tell the customer you will send a product brochure. You take all relevant information like prospect name, address etc. and walk over to your secretary. Your secretary takes the information, chooses the appropriate brochure, creates a covering letter, puts it in an envelope and mails it to your customer. Sounds familiar, right?

    Well, what if I told you that process automation automates the entire process above using the Internet? And all with zero involvement from you? Or anyone else from your organization? Would that be cool? Let me help you visualize it.

    Your prospect comes over to your web site, browses and is now seeking more information on a specific product. You have the prospect fill in all relevant information from within your web site. When the prospect submits the information, your web site will automatically save the information electronically in a database and send a personalized email to your prospect (i.e. thanking him/her for the enquiry and providing instructions to download the brochure). Your system can also follow up automatically after a few days with that specific prospect asking if they have any other questions or if you could be of any help.

    This is, in essence, business process automation. You are automating the different business processes within your business. The beauty of automating this is the zero-involvement from your business. Let’s take this a step further. If the prospect does decide to buy the specific product, they can purchase it directly from your web site (via a shopping cart). Your web site will already know what your prospect had received so you can “speed up” the process by simply collecting payment information over a secure line, process the transaction and then send new shipping details to your customer. The prospects details now go into the customer database (because you have converted a prospect into a customer). The order details automatically get sent to your order-processing department for order fulfillment. When the order is shipped, your order-processing department updates the “system” with ETA for the product. Your customer can now automatically track the status of their order. And you can actually get an overview of how many orders were received, shipped, transacted; all through a browser. Even if you were holidaying and were miles away from home/office.

    Can you think of all the costs you have saved by automating routine, mundane tasks that have typically needed human intervention in the past?

    That, in essence, is the power of automation.

    Don’t Just Accept Your Car Insurance Renewal Quote

    UK car insurance companies make substantial profits every year because a large number of existing customers just accept the renewal quote from their car insurance provider.

    Many people assume that because their first years premium was competitive they will continue to get good value for money from the same insurer. In fact, as an existing customer renewing your car insurance, you could be paying for discounts your insurance company offers to attract new customers.

    This is a common way for car insurance companies to get new customers onto their books.

    Become a New Customer
    A simple way to ensure you don’t pay more than a new customer for exactly the same cover is to become a new customer.

    Instead of just accepting your renewal premium, get a quote from your current insurer as a new customer. This will expose any discount given by your insurer to new customers which you will be paying for if you renew as an existing policyholder.

    Call the insurers advertised phone number or get a quote from their website, but don’t use the contact details from your renewal pack.

    Shop Around
    Armed with the best quote from your current insurer compare it against at least ten other car insurance companies. The internet makes this far less hassle than it used to be and you can now get multiple quotes from major insurers using comparitive car insurance sites such as Moneysupermarket and Screentrade.

    The Wrong Way to Impress a Customer

    Do you like to see impressive, amazing things? Do you like to witness jaw
    dropping, astonishing situations and events? Of course you do. Everybody does.
    And it only costs eight bucks. That’s right, for eight bucks you can go to a movie
    theatre and watch Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger deliver two solid hours of
    stunning imagery, special effects, lighting, action and thrills, splashed across the
    big screen in blazing color and Dolby Surround Sound. These days, with a few
    thousand dollars of equipment, you can even get the same thing, maybe better, at
    home.

    Yes, people like to be impressed, and Hollywood thinks nothing of spending $100
    million on a picture so they can give the people just what they want. And they do a
    great job of it.

    You Can’t Compete With Hollywood

    But one of the worst things you can do is deliberately try to impress your customers.
    Why? Because you’re not Hollywood and you don’t have $100 million dollars. And
    impressing people is not your job. Your job is to help them solve problems and
    capitalize on new opportunities.

    Here’s what happens, almost on a subconscious level: When you try to impress,
    instead of building trust, educating and persuading, you immediately cause your
    customer’s guard to go up. He immediately stops believing you.

    This is a big, big mistake. Most companies are trying so hard to impress people,
    nobody can figure out what they do. More importantly, nobody cares how
    impressive you are. Nobody cares how many billions of dollars of assets some
    insurance company has. They’d much rather know that you will go to the mat for
    them when there’s a problem. They’d much rather know that you really care about
    their problems and that you want to help them.

    Accepting That You’re Just Not Good At Something

    While employed for over 4 years on different contract positions as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer, I became very familiar with a variety of programming languages (not HTML or CSS which are markup languages, I’m referring to ASP, PHP, JAVA, XML, and a few others). Some of these languages I actually became so involved with that I ended a few projects as a novice programmer in whatever language I needed to focus on as required.

    The test plan and test scripts that are now usually created by the programmer used to be the sole responsibility of the software tester(s) that the project was assigned to. This required the tester to become familiar with the application in a way that not even the programmer did, by coming up with every possible test scenario and environment to test against while also learning the language in order to be able to quickly identify and correct simple errors that didn’t require programmer intervention.

    While a great way to learn about the software development lifecycle and gain a lot of “behind the scenes” information, I feel this experience actually left me with a minor fault. Whenever a programming project used to come up, I would incorrectly feel that I could save the company money by handling it myself because of my past. While I’m extremely proficient in HTML, CSS, and ASP, I had no business trying to re-learn programming at the expense of my company each time a project beyond a simple e-commerce site would present itself.

    It takes me at least twice as long as it would for a real full-time programmer to do it, so how much am I saving by doing it myself? Nothing. Plus an expert programmer will make the application more flexible and scalable through their advanced knowledge, something that can’t be learned with a part-time effort. I excel at marketing and running e-commerce websites, not programming them. One day I finally came to the realization that no matter what my previous job experiences were, I just wasn’t a programmer. My heart wasn’t in it.

    Focus on what your good at, and leave the rest up to the experts. There’s no way you can be good at everything, and delegating responsibility is one of the most important parts of owning a business. If you know enough to hire the right people and know who’s good and who’s not, it’s a big advantage for your business. Just don’t make the mistake like I did of thinking that you can be an expert at several different things at the same time.

    How to Match the Right Insurance Policy to the 4 Stages of Life

    As we go through life our needs change. A Young man or women with a family has very different insurance needs then the Empty Nester. Here is a guide to help you determine what type of insurance best matches your need based on the 4 Stages of life

    Stage 1

    While traveling the great state of Missouri one of the biggest objections I hear is why do I need life insurance. I’m young, single and healthy. That is the best time to buy life insurance. The younger you are and the healthier you are the cheaper life insurance is.

    When you are still young and single you may not really need life insurance but that is the best time to buy it. A small whole life policy of 50,000 or maybe 100,000 is really is good investment for a young person. As long as you keep this policy in force no matter how old you get. No matter what happens to your health you will always have insurance.

    Stage 2

    You get married buy your first house and have a few children. At this point in your life you need enough insurance to pay off the mortgage if something happens to you and of course you would want to make sure there is enough money for your young growing family . Don’t forget those college expenses A Term Policy or universal life policy are what you should be looking into during this stage.

    Stage 3

    A friend of mine says life begins when the dog dies and the kids graduate college. Your Home is paid off or nearly paid off. Your children are all on their on and no longer count on you for support. Your concern now is to have enough money for retirement. Your Life insurance needs aren’t that great that 50,000 Life policy you got when you were in stage 1 might be all you need. Annuities, Universal Life and long term care are areas of insurance to look into during this pahse of your life.

    Stage 4

    The Golden Years. You want to make sure you don’t outlive your retirement savings. You also want to protect the assets you have. Annuities and Long Term Care and Medicare Supplement would be your 3 main areas of concern during this satge of your life.
