How to Beat your Competitors in Business

If you expect your competitors to be gentle and caring towards you and not hamper your growth, it is like asking a Lion in the jungle to not to eat you as you are not eating him. The business world is nothing less than a jungle. The business world is all about the survival of the fittest. Especially the present business scenario appears to be ruthlessly competitive and one needs to adhere to new business techniques in order to shine out the competitors. In this article I have compiled some very useful tips as to how you can beat your competitor in business-

1. Know your competitors: If you wish to outshine your competitors, it is important to know about them. If you don’t know about their strengths and weaknesses how would you beat them? Be a great spy in this regard. Know how your biggest competitor plays, how they manage their operations, etc. You don’t need to copy them but keep in mind their loopholes so that you can make them as your strengths, please the customers and give a healthy competition.

2. Adhere to efficient management system: The management system plays a very eminent role in the success of your company. No matter how big or small your competition is, nothing will work out well if your management system is not efficient enough. Use Sage Management Softwares, which are considered as the best, for efficiently managing the company. If you don’t know how to use them, learn them through a sage training course.

3. Invest in Branding: Many new entrepreneurs make the mistake of playing with the cost in order to outshine the competitors. Let me tell you that it is not a very smart move you should rather invest in branding of the company. Remember that in a market, their will always be someone who would offer the same product or service at a cheaper rate than yours, then how would you sustain. The answer is- Branding. Branding leads to customer relationship building. If you do apt branding for your company, it will lead to brand recall, brand preference, customer loyalty (if the service is satisfying) etc. Transforming your company into a brand is a long process that must be done very carefully.

4. Be innovative: No matter what your business is, innovation is the shortcut to success. History has witnessed that innovations have taken companies to an all new level much higher above where they earlier were. Innovation can’t e confined to any one operation of your company. It can be in production, marketing, branding or any other operation. Innovation always pays off.

5. Help your employees in upgrading their skills: The human resource is considered as the backbone of any company. The efficient they would be the faster the company would grow. You must help your employees in upgrading their skills. If they wish to purse a skill enhancement course, then you must help them with it. For example, you can pay half of the amount spent on a Sage IAB course pursed by your finance department professional. This would not just improve the skill set of that particular employee but would also prompt others to pursue a course and upgrade their skills as the company would help them too. This way your employees will develop sheer skills, work with optimum efficiency and ultimately help the company outshine the competitors.

Turmeric: The Superstar Spice of Indian Cooking

If you ask people what Asian cuisine they love best, many of them will probably rave about Indian food. Who wouldn’t love this cuisine? Not only is it flavorful and colorful, but it also uses a wide variety of ingredients, particularly herbs and spices, that makes the dishes more unique and interesting.

One of the wonderful, commonly-used herbs in Indian cuisine is turmeric. Read on to learn more important facts about turmeric.

What is Turmeric?
Turmeric, a member of the ginger plant, is a bright yellow or orange spice that adds spiciness to any dish. In India, it is most popularly used for making curry. Turmeric is called “poor man’s saffron,” because even if it’s cheaper than saffron, the most expensive spice in the world, it also adds the same color to the dishes (not the same flavor, though).

You probably hear many people call turmeric “curcumin.” The fact is, curcumin is entirely different from turmeric – it is actually just a component of the herb. Curcumin is the curcuminoid in turmeric that gives it its very bright yellow color. Without curcumin, turmeric will just be like any ordinary herb.

Because the curcumin in turmeric works as a very potent food dye, it is also widely used in the food manufacturing business today. For example, mustard gets its yellow color from turmeric. You will also find this natural spice used in some cosmetics.

Try These Turmeric Recipes
Many people refrain from using turmeric when cooking, because they believe that this herb is difficult to use. This isn’t true at all. In fact, turmeric can be used just like chili powder or pepper. The only difference is that the curcumin will quickly change your food’s color. It can be tiring to keep using turmeric to make curry, though, so here are a couple of unique but easy recipe alternatives you can try.

Lemon-Ginger Turmeric Tea
Turmeric may taste great when mixed in curry, casseroles, and rice dishes, but did you know that it also tastes great as a tea?
Ingredients:
• Two cups of water
• Juice of half a lemon
• Half a teaspoon of turmeric
• Half a teaspoon of ginger
• One tablespoon of honey

Procedure:
1. Heat the water in a small pan until it boils.
2. Lower the heat and add in the ginger and turmeric. Let this simmer for at least 10 minutes under low heat.
3. Strain the tea and stir in the honey and lemon.
You can serve this warm or cold, depending on your preference. It’s a refreshing twist to your regular tea.

Turmeric Egg Salad
This is just like your regular egg salad, but with a unique (and slightly spicy) twist.
Ingredients:
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Mayonnaise
• Yellow mustard
• Chopped onions
• Celery or apple
• Salt and pepper
• A teaspoon of turmeric

Procedure:
1. Chop your hard-boiled eggs into small, bite sized pieces. Put them in a large bowl.
2. Get some mayonnaise, enough to completely coat the eggs, and at least two tablespoons of yellow mustard and mix them well with the eggs.
3. Add the chopped onions and the celery to the eggs. If you don’t like celery, apple will work well.
4. Sprinkle in a little salt and turmeric for a spicy kick.

A reminder when cooking turmeric: curcumin is potent enough to stain your clothes, kitchenware, and even your skin, so be very careful when handling this spice.

Where Can You Buy Turmeric?
The good news is that you don’t have to go all the way to India to get some turmeric or curcumin. You can now purchase this in your local grocery stores. Turmeric is usually sold in small bottles. For people who don’t want to try turmeric without using it in recipes, turmeric supplements are also widely available today.

M Triangel Z one laser machine is a high technology Machine for removing and engraving the Back Cover Glass. It is a Computerized and automatic laser Machine.

In general, every laser machine performs the same function. Older models may require less speed and more manual work although the concept is generally the same. Many are heavy due to being compact and easy to use. As technology continues to improve, laser manufacturers are beginning to incorporate better, simpler, more user-friendly, and less manual work that makes the product better and faster to use. This product has a powerful laser and is much more compact than its predecessor and has optical and auto-focus which helps to speed up and simplify the process of using the machine.

This Laser Machine Has Auto-Focus functionality along with manual calibration. The laser is etching a design of a certain height from the vector file, that is where the laser does not know how far the object is away in which auto-focus automatically decides based on the vector file of the height and the physical product that is being lasered. You would 1st put the housing in the base, hit the Auto-Focus functional which basically is the auto-calibration of the product distance. If the light turns green, it has been auto focused. If the light does not need green, then you may need to do a manual adjustment (Rise / Down Button Next to Auto-Focus Button) until it turns green. After it turns green, the adjustment is ready to use.

The MT Z-One is a simple portable laser device with optical adjustment. This laser machine powers the 20W laser into a compact design and is best for removing back glass, etching or engraving devices for your customers. This machine has 110V consumption

The laser marking machine adopts a high-performance digital galvanometer scanning system, which is fast, high-precision and can operate for a long time. It can be used in most metallic materials and some non-metallic materials such as silicone, rubber, epoxy, ceramics, marble, etc. or to write permanent anti-counterfeit marks that are difficult to replicate.

We suggest a few tools and accessories that are needed. Fume Extractor is highly recommended in this because it helps with making sure the smoke that burns from the laser is vacuumed through and not inhaled by you or your technician. Other products like Gloves, Scrapping Tools, Adhesives & Glues are products that are needed however some may have different set of tools that they prefer versus another tool.
