7 Surefire Ways to Guarantee Business Failure

[Stormseed]

It has often been my view that many companies would be more profitable without either customers or staff.

2 Questions (just anxious)
If a company is "Without Customers", how would it generate revenue (nothing to sell ?)

If a company is "Without Staff", how would it manage to handle the volumes of business generated ?

Just for kicks, get them to pretend that they are actually local

I was cold called by an Indian lady once and so I asked her where she was calling from, so she said just outside of London. I pressed and asked where just outside of London, and she obviously said the only other place she knew in England, Stratford. Stratford might be just outside of London to an Indian where distances are huge, but not to an Englishman. At least she didn't say Liverpool, but I still hung up!

Customers and staff cause problems. Eliminate one, the profits soar, eliminate both - no problems, limitless profits.

Insofar as I am aware there is only one "website" that has consistently produced super-normal returns from advertising online on the basis of the number of users visiting their website. No prizes for guessing that is Google....although I'd be happy to be proved wrong! I believe Facebook has in excess of 200m users and they still aren't making money - what hope is there for anyone else if they can't make money from online advertising???

Google is the world's biggest parasite, living off of the back of others efforts, and creaming off all of the life-blood (revenue). They are symptomatic of all that is wrong with modern capitalism.

Yup. A perfect TPB* solution.

Don't you guys think that you all use a lot of slang and code words ? What is TPB ?

I accept till time India was the gateway for Outsourced Business but the government here is now developing such policies which would either stop the foreign companies from outsourcing in India or they will have to pay very heavily for labour.

The most cheapest of labour, you get it in China and nowhere else in the world.

Also, the baby you have in your avatar, I guess he is your kid and he looks absolutely adorable just like Jon's daughter

Rory, I never realized it and I thought about it as his signature (at a glance)
