Know Their Rights

3 things to consider in the selling process

It's good to remember that no matter what your sales policies are — like no returns after 30 days — buyers believe they have certain rights when they enter into a transaction with you. Entering into a sales discussion with a prospect without establishing a need or desire that you can fulfill may turn off your customer before you even begin the sales process. Keep these three "buyer's rights" in mind when selling to your customers:

1. The right to begin the interaction. Buyers would prefer to choose when to engage with a salesperson. They should be attracted by price, style, quality, or brand, and then they are more than willing to enter into a discussion with you. It is alienating to your customers if you are selling before a need, or a reason for the sale has been established.

2. The right to open his or her wallet. The buyer decides who they will give their hard-earned money to, when they will give it, and how much they are willing to give. Salespeople should avoid looking at a customer as just a potential sale, and try to see them as people who work just as hard as they do for their money. Don't dip your hand in their wallet the first chance you get; show them the benefits of buying from you first.

3. The right to say no. At the buying "decision point," buyers have a right to say yes or no. If they say yes, great! If they say no, then it's an opportunity to understand why. The reason may be the price point or the wrong features for what the customer was looking for. Look for ways to ask about "no." It often can feed you better information for future sales.

California Needs To Follow The Lead of the White House to Kick Start the State's Economy BY: Phil Vermeulen, Legislative Advocate

Also In This Update • Cal OSHA Releases 2nd Round of Revisions to Heat Illness

Prevention If President Obama can do it, why can't the California Legislature?

By Loren Kaye President of the California Foundation for Commerce and Education Wed, July 14th, 2010

The White House, as part of a broad policy review, has asked business leaders to "identify specific regulations that they believe are obstacles to job-creating private investment."

The Administration is responding to an increasingly forceful chorus of criticism from national business organizations and individual companies, including a comprehensive, 54-page catalog of legislation and regulations prepared by the Business Roundtable and Business Council.

The organizations claim that these measures' "cumulative effect will help defeat the objectives we all share - reducing unemployment, improving the competitiveness of U.S. companies, and creating an environment that fosters long-term economic growth."

Sound familiar? At least someone in Washington is listening.

In Sacramento, it is business as usual in the business of legislating, whose governing philosophy seems to believe growth in government spending can be accomplished without growth in the economy.

Yes, it is an election year. But in the face of a persistent recession, unacceptable unemployment, and a budget deadlock, what better time to take an honest look at the shackles placed on the California economy by harmful economic policies and an unfriendly investment climate?

Just today, CNBC released its annual survey of America's Top States for Business. California ranked 49th and 48th, respectively, in "business friendliness" and "cost of doing business." Our overall ranking was salvaged somewhat by factors that have little to do with state policy - access to venture capital and the environment for technology and innovation. But where state officials can make a difference, they have - for the worse.

The Legislature and Administration should take a leaf from the President's book, and at least make an honest inquiry about the sources of our economic malaise and why our recovery is moribund. Recently, CalChamber (which we have joined forces with to

promote the following proposed changes) released a comprehensive summary to at least get the ball rolling. The agenda identified specific policy changes in five areas to hasten economic recovery:

1. Reducing the regulatory and litigation costs of hiring new employees and keeping them on the job;

2. Ensuring certainty and stability of private investments in plants, equipment and technology, including a fair and predictable tax structure;

3. Investing in public works that provide the backbone for economic growth; 4. Providing a world-class education to prepare high school students for work or

college, and supporting public colleges and universities in their student preparation and technology innovation missions; and

5. Ensuring transparency and accountability at all levels of government, and fostering private enterprise and markets.

California's rebound will depend on more than just watching the clock and hoping to get swept up in a national recovery.

Cal OSHA Releases 2nd Notice of Proposed Heat Illness Prevention Requirements In Outdoor Places Please review the following proposed revisions carefully and let me know if there's anything that looks objectionable The Cal OSHA has released its proposed modifications to the Heat Illness Prevention Requirements SECOND NOTICE OF PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 8: Division 1, Chapter 4, Subchapter 7, Group 2, Article 10, Section 3395 of the General Industry Safety Orders

PROPOSED STATE STANDARD, TITLE 8, DIVISION 1, CHAPTER 4 Amend Section 3395 to read: §3395. Heat Illness Prevention in Outdoor Places of Employment. (a) Scope and Application.

(1) This standard applies to all outdoor places of employment. EXCEPTION: If an industry is not listed in subsection (a)(2), employers in that industry are not required to comply with subsection (e), High-heat procedures. (2) List of industries subject to all provisions of this standard, including subsection (e): (A) Agriculture (B) Construction (C) Landscaping (D) Oil and gas extraction (E) Transportation or delivery of agricultural products, construction materials or other heavy materials (e.g. furniture, lumber, freight, cargo, furniture, , except for employment that consists of operating an air-conditioned vehicle and does not include loading or unloading. (3) This section applies to the control of risk of occurrence of heat illness. This is not intended to exclude the application of other sections of Title 8, including, but not necessarily limited to, sections 1230(a), 1512, 1524, 3203, 3363, 3400, 3439, 3457, 6251, 6512, 6969, 6975, 8420 and 8602(e). This section applies to all outdoor places of employment. NOTE NO. 1: The measures required here may be integrated into the employer’s written Injury and Illness Program required by section 3203, or maintained in a separate document. NOTE NO. 2: This standard is enforceable by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health pursuant to Labor Code sections 6308 and 6317 and any other statutes conferring enforcement powers upon the Division. It is a violation of Labor Code sections 6310, 6311, and 6312 to discharge or discriminate in any other manner against employees for exercising their rights under this or any other provision offering occupational safety and health protection to employees. (b) Definitions. “Acclimatization” means temporary adaptation of the body to work in the heat that occurs gradually when a person is exposed to it. Acclimatization peaks in most people within four to fourteen days of regular work for at least two hours per day in the heat. “Heat Illness” means a serious medical condition resulting from the body’s inability to cope with a particular heat load, and includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat syncope and heat stroke. “Environmental risk factors for heat illness” means working conditions that create the possibility that heat illness could occur, including air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat from the sun and other sources, conductive heat sources such as the ground, air movement, workload severity and duration, protective clothing and personal protective equipment worn by employees.

“Landscaping” means providing landscape care and maintenance services and/or installing trees, shrubs, plants, lawns, or gardens, or providing these services in conjunction with the design of landscape plans and/or the construction (i.e., installation) of walkways, retaining walls, decks, fences, ponds, and similar structures, except for employment by an employer who operates a fixed establishment where the work is to be performed and where drinking water is plumbed “Oil and gas extraction” means operating and/or developing oil and gas field properties, exploring for crude petroleum or natural gas, mining or extracting of oil or gas or recovering liquid hydrocarbons from oil or gas field gases. “Personal risk factors for heat illness” means factors such as an individual’s age, degree of acclimatization, health, water consumption, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, and use of prescription medications that affect the body’s water retention or other physiological responses to heat. "Preventative recovery period" means a period of time to recover from the heat in order to prevent heat illness. “Shade” means blockage of direct sunlight. Canopies, umbrellas and other temporary structures or devices may be used to provide shade. One indicator that blockage is sufficient is when objects do not cast a shadow in the area of blocked sunlight. Shade is not adequate when heat in the area of shade defeats the purpose of shade, which is to allow the body to cool. For example, a car sitting in the sun does not provide acceptable shade to a person inside it, unless the car is running with air conditioning. Shade may be provided by any natural or artificial means that does not expose employees to unsafe or unhealthy conditions. “Temperature” means the dry bulb temperature in degrees Fahrenheit obtainable by using a thermometer to measure the outdoor temperature in an area where there is no shade. While the temperature measurement must be taken in an area with full sunlight, the bulb or sensor of the thermometer should be shielded while taking the measurement, e.g., with the hand or some other object, from direct contact by sunlight. (c) Provision of water. Employees shall be provided have at no cost, ready access to fresh, pure, suitably cool potable drinking water meeting the requirements of Sections 1524, 3363, and 3457, as applicable. Where it drinking water is not plumbed or otherwise continuously supplied, it shall be provided in sufficient quantity at the beginning of the work shift to provide one quart per employee per hour for drinking for the entire shift. Employers may begin the shift with smaller quantities of water if they have effective procedures for replenishment during the shift as needed to allow employees to drink one quart or more per hour. The frequent drinking of water, as described in subsection (e) (f)(1)(C), shall be encouraged. (d) Access to shade. (1) Shade required to be present when the temperature exceeds 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the outdoor temperature in the work area exceeds 85 degrees Fahrenheit, the employer shall have and maintain Employees suffering from heat illness or believing a preventative recovery period is needed, shall be provided access to an area one or more areas with shade at all times while employees are present that is are either open to the air or

provided with ventilation or cooling for a period of no less than five minutes. The amount of shade present shall be at least enough to accommodate 25% of the employees on the shift at any time, so that they can sit in a normal posture fully in the shade without having to be in physical contact with each other. The shaded area shall be located as close as practicable to the areas where employees are working. (2) Shade required to be available when the temperature does not exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the outdoor temperature in the work area does not exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit employers shall either provide shade as per subsection (d)(1) or provide timely access to shade upon an employee’s request. (3) Employees shall be allowed and encouraged to take a cool-down rest in the shade for a period of no less than five minutes at a time when they feel the need to do so to protect themselves from overheating. Such access to shade shall be permitted at all times. (4) Exceptions to subsection (d): (1) Where the employer can demonstrate that it is infeasible or unsafe to have a shade structure, or otherwise to have shade present on a continuous basis, the employer may utilize alternative procedures for providing access to shade if the alternative procedures provide equivalent protection. (2) Except for employers in the agricultural industry, cooling measures other than shade (e.g., use of misting machines) may be provided in lieu of shade if the employer can demonstrate that these measures are at least as effective as shade in allowing employees to cool. (e) High-heat procedures. The employer shall implement high-heat procedures when the temperature equals or exceeds 95 degrees Fahrenheit. These procedures shall include the following to the extent practicable: (1) Ensuring that effective communication by voice, observation, or electronic means is maintained so that employees at the work site can contact a supervisor when necessary. An electronic device, such as a cell phone or text messaging device, may be used for this purpose only if reception in the area is reliable. (2) Observing employees for alertness and signs or symptoms of heat illness. (3) Reminding employees throughout the work shift to drink plenty of water. (4) Close supervision of a new employee by a supervisor or designee for the first 14 days of the employee’s employment by the employer, unless the employee indicates at the time of hire that he or she has been doing similar outdoor work for at least 10 of the past 30 days for 4 or more hours per day. (f) Training. (1) Employee training. No employee or supervisor shall begin outdoor work to which this section applies unless the employee or supervisor has received the training required by this section. Effective Training in the following topics shall be provided to all each supervisory and non-supervisory employees before the employee begins work that should reasonably be anticipated to result in exposure to the risk of heat illness.:

(A) The environmental and personal risk factors for heat illness, as well as the added burden of heat load on the body caused by exertion, clothing, and personal protective equipment.; (B) The employer’s procedures for complying with the requirements of this standard;. (C) The importance of frequent consumption of small quantities of water, up to 4 cups per hour, when the work environment is hot and employees are likely to be sweating more than usual in the performance of their duties;. (D) The importance of acclimatization;. (E) The different types of heat illness and the common signs and symptoms of heat illness;. (F) The importance to employees of immediately reporting to the employer, directly or through the employee’s supervisor, symptoms or signs of heat illness in themselves, or in co-workers;. (G) The employer’s procedures for responding to symptoms of possible heat illness, including how emergency medical services will be provided should they become necessary;. (H) The employer’s procedures for contacting emergency medical services, and if necessary, for transporting employees to a point where they can be reached by an emergency medical service provider;. (I) The employer’s procedures for ensuring that, in the event of an emergency, clear and precise directions to the work site can and will be provided as needed to emergency responders. These procedures shall include designating a person to be available to ensure that emergency procedures are invoked when appropriate. (2) Supervisor training. Prior to assignment to supervision of supervising employees performing work that should reasonably be anticipated to result in exposure to the risk of heat illness working in the heat, effective training on the following topics shall be provided to the supervisor: (A) The information required to be provided by section (e)(f)(1) above. (B) The procedures the supervisor is to follow to implement the applicable provisions in this section. (C) The procedures the supervisor is to follow when an employee exhibits symptoms consistent with possible heat illness, including emergency response procedures. (D) How to monitor weather reports and how to respond to hot weather advisories. (3) The employer’s procedures for complying with each requirement of this standard required by subsections (e)(f)(1)(B), (G), (H), and (I) shall be in writing and shall be made available to employees and to representatives of the Division upon request.

ATTORNEY’S FEES By Sam K. Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman This is a case where the plaintiffs argued that the trial court needed to explain its award of attorney’s fees to show that there was a reasonable basis for them. The plaintiffs also argued that the trial court did not award them enough attorney’s fees and costs against their former general contractor.

Tassajara Development Corporation (the contractor) entered into a written contract to become the general contractor for a residential construction for the plaintiffs Gorman & Cheng (husband and wife). The contract included some language that stated that “In the event of litigation between the parties, or if a party becomes involved in litigation because of wrongful acts of the other party, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.” This is not an unusual provision. One of the plaintiffs (Gorman) is an attorney. He is the chief executive, chief financial officer, president and secretary of the Law Firm of Gorman & Miller. Gorman filed the lawsuit by filing a complaint on behalf of the plaintiffs against many defendants including the contractor alleging the defective construction of the residence. A few years later, the plaintiffs entered into an exhaustive settlement with a number of defendants including the contractor. Part of the settlement stated that “it is agreed that Plaintiffs shall be deemed to be the ‘prevailing parties’ in the Action solely for the purpose of invoking plaintiffs’ rights to recover attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract and that plaintiffs are entitled to recover costs as authorized by law as if they were prevailing parties in the Action.” Ultimately, the plaintiff’s requested attorney’s fees in the amount of approximately $1,300,000.00 and costs in excess of approximately $266,000.00. Around half of these fees were billed by Gorman personally. The trial court in a lengthy hearing, awarded the plaintiff “reasonable attorneys’ fees” of approximately $400,000.00 and reasonable costs of approximately $142,000.00. However, despite the close study of the record on appeal, including the motion and opposition, the appellate court stated that it was unable to surmise a reasonable explanation for either of the amounts awarded. Given the apparent arbitrariness of the awards, they reversed the judgment and remanded it for further proceedings. That is to say even though a court is not required to explain an award for attorneys’ fees, there still needs to be a reasonable basis for the award

Attorney Sam Abdulaziz of Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman has been practicing construction law for over 30 years. He has written a book called “California Construction Law” which is updated annually. He represents numerous construction trade associations and contractors. He

appears at Contractors State License Board meetings and has argued a number of cases before the appellate courts, including the California Supreme Court dealing with the "Pay-If-Paid Clause."

SAN RAFAEL Paramedic services tax will go before San Rafael voters in November

The San Rafael City Council on Monday unanimously agreed to put a measure before voters in Novem-ber that would raise a tax for paramedic services by 27 percent over four years.

Officials have proposed raising the existing voter-approved paramedic tax to $108 a year for residences and 14 cents per square foot for commercial properties over a four-year period. The current tax is $85 for dwellings and 11 cents per square foot for commercial buildings.

Between July 10 and 14, a telephone poll was conducted of 300 San Rafael residents and 100 voters in surrounding special districts. Seventy percent of the San Rafael voters and 75 percent of voters from special districts were in favor of the tax increase. The margin of error was 5.6 percent for San Rafael and 9.7 percent for the other areas.

The tax must receive two-thirds of the vote on Nov. 2.

MARIN 15 county employees have been laid off

Due to the county budget crisis county supervisors are laying off employees. Fifteen workers will lose their jobs under the Marin County budget for fiscal 2010-11. County officials are expected to adopt the budget next week. The layoffs follow budget discussions this year in which supervisors bridged a $20 million budget gap, tentatively imposing cuts proposed by the administration that eliminated 90 posi-tions, many of which were vacant.

Of the 15 positions being slashed, 12 are from county departments, and another three in the county's Open Space District,

Currently, the $437 million county budget is down about $2.7 million from last year. Road repair and related spending will remain flat at about $10.7 million, while funds supporting both child support ser-vices and environmental health services are being cut 4.3 percent.

Despite cutting 90 positions from the county, and the decline in the overall budget, spending in some departments is up, primarily because of increasing pension and retiree costs. The county is facing an unfunded pension liability exceeding $700 million and must provide $58.4 million in the budget to cover retiree costs, $11 million more than last year.

Marin Legislation

Legislative Analyst

Kalb's Q&A for Contractors Week of 08-02-2010 By David Kalb, President of Capitol Services, Inc. In competition winning is what it’s all about. Winning the race or winning the contract bid. For many contractors, just getting ‘qualified’ to compete comes with a host of questions. We begin with important news for specialty contractors ‘wired’ into electrical work… Electrical Contractor’s Alert: Specialty contractor’s that perform electrical work need to be aware that AB 2523 (Eng) would amend the law related to the electrician certification. According to a recent Legislative analysis, as it currently exists, the electrician certification program administered by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards ONLY pertains to “electricians” who are working for “C-10” Electrical contractors. This bill, if passed, would expand the applicability of the electrician certification requirements to include nearly all specialty contractors (licensed under B&P Code Section 7058) that “engage in the connection of electrical devices.” In other words, a “C-20” (HVAC), “C-38” (Refrigeration), “C-46” (Solar) or other “C” contractors that do any electrical work would also need to have their employees certified under this revised Labor Code. Since the new language limits it to Section 7058 licenses, this would not include “A” General Engineering or “B” General Building contractors. The existing exemption for “C-7” Low Voltage, “C-45” Electrical Sign, and the qualifying individual for “C-10” (Electrical) contractors would also be retained. What is unclear is whether the qualifiers for the “C-20”, “C-46”, “C- 38” and other specialty contractors would be exempt. The bill has passed the Assembly and is due to be heard in a Senate Committee. Q: I am considering going to work for a company as their Responsible Managing Employee or RME. My question is: By accepting this position could I possibly be responsible for any unpaid wages or debts of the company? I will not be an officer, director, stockholder, or signatory on a payroll or checking account. The only information I currently have is that I would not

be responsible for unpaid wages under any conditions. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. A: To the best of my knowledge, a RME would not be responsible for unpaid wages or company debts. However, your email uses the word "possibly". While highly unlikely, if there is a legal action against the company for which you are the Qualifier, a court could "possibly" find you responsible for some sort of debt. I am familiar with a recent court case whereby nearly three hundred companies AND individuals were named as defendants I would suggest contacting an attorney to discuss this situation and whether a 'hold-harmless' agreement makes sense. Q: I have three questions regarding our application for Original Contractor’s license. 1.) One of our officers, an assistant secretary, will become our Qualifier. It seems to me that it would be better if he were a Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) and not an RME. That way, we stay away from the 80% time rule. Is there any reason NOT to use him as an RMO? 2.) Besides the bond for the company itself, please confirm that an RMO does NOT need a bond but an RME does? 3.) Does CSLB put it’s required bond form and amount online? A: By definition, an “assistant secretary” is a Responsible Managing Officer (RMO). A $12,500 Bond of Qualifying Individual is required if the RMO owns less than 10% of the corporation and is always required for a RME. You can order these bond forms online from the Contractors Board; but they are not available to download. For your information and a courtesy for a reader, I have emailed both forms in an attachment so you can pass them on to your bonding company. Knowledge is power. Knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assistance immediately when you call 916-443-0657, email [email protected], fax 916-443-1908, or write me at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 9581.

Selling - Why it Pays to Be an Unpaid Consultant by Landy Chase

Over the last twenty-five years I have heard more than my share of bad ideas when it comes to effective selling.

Here is the worst one that I have ever come across: “Don’t be an unpaid consultant”.

I was recently reminded of this when I was asked to participate in a phone conference involving one of my clients. The company had a number of their senior executives together for a meeting, and they asked me if I would be willing to join their group for a teleconference during my lunch hour.

Here’s the “catch”, if you prefer to think of it that way: there was no offer of payment for my time; this was “free work” in the form of giving advice. Yes, I was being asked to be the Unpaid Consultant. And, as always, I welcomed the opportunity.

You see, I strongly disagree with the idea that you should avoid being an “unpaid consultant” when you are in sales. In fact, in my opinion, you should do just the opposite. You should strive, every day, to be the Unpaid Consultant. Here’s my rationale.

Customers form their strongest relationships with people who give the most value. In today’s selling environment, what you sell -- be it a product or service -- is, in itself, the least valuable thing that you offer. In fact, it is probably viewed by most buyers as a commodity. Whether you are a car salesman, a financial advisor, a copier rep, a lawyer, or a plumber, customers can get what you sell from dozens of other people who offer the same thing. In a me-too world, good advice -- ideas that help customers to make better decisions -- trumps, by a wide margin, the value of your “wares”.

Which brings me back to sales people. The highest compliment that a customer can ever pay you is to confer upon you the title of “Unpaid Consultant”. To want your opinion when they are not buying. To value your knowledge enough to want to take advantage of your expertise.

Examples: If you sell automobiles, to get your opinion on which of a competitor’s two models is a better choice for a child going to college. If you sell newspaper advertising, whether you would recommend radio or cable television as a better investment for reaching a target audience. If you sell printing, your thoughts on whether a new ink is appropriate for a packaging project that doesn’t actually involve you.

The point is this: people don’t ask for input from those whose opinion they do not value. When a customer asks for your advice under these circumstances, the message is loud and clear: they view you as an expert. Give the request your very best effort, every time. I assure you, you will be rewarded many times over.

Among my vendor relationships, there is a small group of vendors whose advice I place a high value on. These are also the people with whom I do eighty percent of my business. One of these is my CPA.

I have utilized this same professional for my business for over ten years. She is in private practice and lives five hundred miles from my office. Yes, I could find another CPA who is local to help my business -- in fact; I could line them around the block seven or eight times. I could also save money by doing so -- her fees are higher than most of those in her profession.

So why do I swear loyalty to her? It certainly isn’t because she provides bookkeeping services and prepares financial reports. That’s a commodity -- any CPA firm provides that.

No, what I value is her mind -- her ability to analyze my business and make recommendations that help me to manage it. To me, this is irreplaceable. Yes, much of her time with me is billed, but many times her advice is unbilled, as well. She is a very good sales person (she cold-called me to get my business) and has excellent interpersonal skills. She is a good listener, and even puts up with my annual whining during tax season. In other words, she understands the value of being the Unpaid Consultant. If I changed my CPA relationship, I would not have her to work with anymore -- and that idea distresses me greatly, as you will see.

A couple of years ago, her business had grown to the point that she sent all of her clients, including me, a form letter informing us that she was going to have to trim her client list to lessen her workload. In other words, some of us were going to have to go.

My reaction to this announcement? Sheer panic. I called her immediately. I begged to make the cut! I pleaded. I stammered. I reminded her that I have a simple business and am easy to work with and always pay on time and … and…and…you get the idea.

She laughed and assured me that I had nothing to worry about; her focus was on reducing her workload with more complex businesses that were taking a lot of her time. Relieved, I hung up the phone.

Then I thought -- WOW. I am the customer, and here I am begging this vendor: please, please - continue to take my money!

Does this describe the relationship that you have with your customers? How valuable are you to them? Do they depend on you for giving them direction, or are you an order-taking commodity?

In my business, every time that a sales person asks me, “what would you like to do?” I want to say “why are you asking me? I thought that you were the expert.” I never say that, of course, but it is what I am thinking.

Don’t ask me for my opinion; I’m paying you for yours. Be confident and assertive. Tell me what you think I should do. In other words, be the Unpaid Consultant.

Make Your Logo Stand Out 3 easy steps to a clear, uncomplicated logo

Have you ever seen a company logo with so many design elements competing for your attention that you didn't know what to look at or what it meant? A logo is all about representing your brand — in an instant. But if you try to say too much in a logo, you risk causing confusion about what it is you do, or even, what the name of your company actually is. Here are three steps to a clear, uncomplicated logo as part of a corporate identity development strategy:

1. Keep it simple. Your logo should tell the story of your brand — succinctly. Try to tell too much of the story and you might confuse customers and prospects. A brand story is made up of four parts: your company's personality, the type of services or products you offer, what distinguishes you from your competition, and who you can best help. Once you have developed your brand story, think about what is most important and have those qualities reflected in your logo. But remember, the logo is only symbolic of these components, so don't try to do too much.

2. Don't get too detailed. A logo that contains a lot of design elements — lines, shapes, shading, etc. — may be difficult to read on its own. The best logos are simple and will, over time, become synonymous with your brand. The Nike "swoosh" logo is a great example.

3. Keep words to a minimum. Layering text on top of a logo may just make the logo look more complicated. Your name or a very simple tag line are typically all you might need if you feel type is important to convey what you want with your logo. And if you have just changed your logo, it's a really good idea to test it before you go "live" with it. Do this with loyal customers and friends and family, they will likely be very honest about how they perceive the change and its impact on your brand.

Don't Fear the Blog Easy steps to get you blogging like a pro

In recent years, blogs have become a popular online lead generation and brand-building tool for thousands of companies. But many growing business owners have three big fears about blogging: they won't have time to blog regularly; their blog won't get enough exposure; and their blog won't be interesting enough. Well, take a deep breath because it isn't all that scary! Here are some steps to get you confidently striding down the path to big-time blogging:

1. Take 15 minutes to see how much you know. You are an expert in your field, and even if you aren't, you have more experience than most. Remember, 99.9 percent of people don't do what you do, and don't know what you know. Take 15 minutes and think about all the things you've learned over the years. Then, make a list. You just gave yourself a whole calendar of interesting, pertinent blog topics.

2. Make it an asset, not a chore. If your blog is a chore to write, it will be a chore to read. Get excited about sharing your knowledge and the connections your blog will make. And write in a tone of voice that suits who you are. Don't try to be something you aren't.

3. Timing is everything. Write in a way that excites you, at a time when you have a lot of energy. Some bloggers like to take a long lunch break and write while enjoying a sandwich, while others have all their energy in the morning with a cup of coffee at their side. If you utilize the time to write a blog when you feel most productive; you could easily churn out two or three blog posts a week.

4. Be seen, be heard. The only legitimate fear that new bloggers have is a lack of exposure. It's easy to get lost among all those Internet blogs. Consider writing a guest blog on blogs bigger than your own. Once you're perceived as an an expert, people are more apt to read your own blog.

5. Avoid the urge to use the blog as a sales tool. The minute you start to sell, your readers will tune you out. Instead, use your blog to encourage an ongoing conversation. Offer educational advice — you are the expert, after all — and spread the wealth!

Tip: If you don't have a blog, a booming selection of blog hosts exist that can have even a newbie up in a matter of minutes. Some of the most popular include WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, and Vox. You can even create an account at little or no cost.

DEMOLITION SAFETY PLANNING

Before the start of any demolition project, careful preparations must be made to ensure the safety of workers on the job and of other individuals within the vicinity of the demolition site. Planning for a demolition project is as important as actually doing the work; and according to Cal-OSHA, a competent person experienced in all phases of the demolition should conduct the demolition planning. Planning should involve the entire demolition operation including methods to be used to bring the structure down, necessary equipment to do the job, and measures to be taken to perform the job safely.

Prior to the start of demolition, an engineering survey must be completed to assess the condition of the framing, floors, and walls to prevent a possible premature collapse of the structure. The demolition contractor is responsible for planning the wreckage of the structure, the equipment to do the work, informing worker of hazards and safety requirements, and public safety. Planning should include necessary safety equipment such as specific respirators, hearing protection, safety nets, lifelines, fall protection, warning signs, eye and face protection, and any other hazard protection device needed for the job.

The engineering survey should determine if there are any chemicals, gases, explosives or flammable materials previously used or stored at the work site, which may still present a hazard. Examples include asbestos containing insulation or lead-based paint used in the initial construction. Service and utility companies should be notified in advance of the demolition. Then before demolition begins, electric, gas, sewer, water, steam, and overhead lines etc. must be located and shut off, capped or controlled. If it’s necessary to maintain some of the services, temporary relocation should be performed and all workers notified of the new locations to avoid accidents.

If blasting is planned, a complete written blasting survey must be made by a qualified person. The survey should include the transportation, storage, and inventory of explosives as well as any fire precautions to be taken. A post-inspection of the area should be conducted after the blast to insure that no hazards remain. Enough time should be allowed for dust, smoke, and fumes to leave the blasted area before allowing re-entry into the site.

Emergency preparation is a crucial element of the demolition planning process. Workers should know how to respond to possible emergency situations and evacuation routes should be devised, explained, and posted. Local medical or emergency responding facilities should be named and posted in a readily accessible location with phone numbers and addresses. First aid and CPR equipment with the names of on-site certified individuals should also be available on-site.

The demolition area should be clearly marked as such to ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed within restricted areas of the site. All site workers or authorized personnel should be dressed in appropriate personal protective wear and be informed of safety practices and emergency procedures.

CÓMO EFECTUAR UNA DEMOLICIÓN SEGURA

Antes de comenzar cualquier proyecto de demolición, se deben hacer preparativos cuidadosos para asegurar la seguridad de los trabajadores en el sitio de trabajo, así como la seguridad de las personas en las cercanías del sitio de la demolición. La planificación del proyecto de demolición es tan importante como su ejecución, y según Cal-OSHA, una persona competente y con experiencia en todas las fases de la demolición debe realizar la planificación de la demolición. Esta planificación debe abarcar toda la operación de demolición, incluyendo los métodos para derribar la estructura, el equipo necesario para efectuar el trabajo y las medidas a tomar para ejecutar el trabajo con seguridad.

Antes de comenzar la demolición, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio de ingeniería para evaluar las condiciones de la estructura, los pisos y las paredes para evitar un derrumbe prematuro de la estructura. El contratista de la demolición es responsable de la planificación del derribo de la estructura, de los equipos necesarios para efectuar el trabajo, de informar a los trabajadores de los peligros y los requerimientos de seguridad, y de la seguridad pública. La planificación debe incluir los equipos de seguridad necesarios, tales como equipos de respiración, protección para los oídos, redes de seguridad, cuerdas de seguridad, protección contra caídas, letreros de aviso, protección para la cara y los ojos, y cualquier otra protección de seguridad que exija el trabajo.

El estudio de ingeniería debe determinar si existen sustancias químicas, gases, materiales explosivos o inflamables, utilizados o almacenados anteriormente en el sitio, que puedan presentar un peligro. Por ejemplo, aislamiento que contenga asbesto o pintura a base de plomo utilizada en la construcción original. Se debe notificar de antemano la demolición a las empresas de servicios públicos. Y antes de comenzar la demolición, es necesario ubicar las líneas de electricidad, gas, alcantarillado, agua, vapor y líneas elevadas y apagarlas, cerrarlas, taparlas o controlarlas. Si es necesario mantener el uso de algunos de los servicios, se deben reubicar temporalmente y notificar a todos los trabajadores de la nueva ubicación para evitar accidentes.

Si se planea el uso de explosivos, es obligatorio que una persona calificada haga un estudio completo por escrito de la demolición con explosivos. El estudio debe incluir el transporte, almacenaje e inventario de los explosivos, al igual que cualquier precaución a tomar contra los incendios. Se deberá hacer una inspección final después de terminada la demolición para asegurar que no quede ningún peligro. Se debe dejar suficiente tiempo para que el polvo, humo y vapores se disipen del área de la explosión antes de permitir que entren personas al sitio.

Los preparativos de emergencia son un elemento crucial del proceso de planificación de la demolición. Los trabajadores deben saber cómo responder a situaciones de emergencia y se deben planificar, explicar y publicar las rutas de evacuación. Los centros médicos o de emergencia locales deben indicarse y anunciarse en un sitio de fácil acceso con los números de teléfono y las direcciones correspondientes. También debe haber disponibles en el sitio de trabajo equipos de primeros auxilios y de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP), junto con los nombres de las personas certificadas en su uso.

El área de la demolición deberá estar claramente marcada como tal para asegurar que sólo se permita la entrada del personal autorizado al área restringida del sitio. Todos los trabajadores y personal autorizados deberán usar los equipos de protección apropiados y estar informados sobre las prácticas de seguridad y los procedimientos de emergencia.
