IS THE BEST RETIREMENT BUSINESS RIGHT FOR YOU? By Ilene Fudim. According to Coin Laundry Association, laundry centers and coin laundries average a powerful 20 to 30% return on investment. A successful laundry owner offers 6 powerful insights on why you too can and should achieve great financial rewards with part- time effort. Are you ready to join ranks of many successful entrepreneurs like Dan King who are "cleaning-up" in today's commercial laundry industry? With stock market fluctuations and an uncertain economy, many Americans have a difficult time finding investments that can survive recessions and economic downturns. However, commercial laundry business with its 20 to 30% ROI is almost recession proof. In fact both Dun and Bradstreet and SBA have cited it as one of 10 top safest business investments one can make. Believe it or not, that’s just one of many powerful reasons so many retirees are looking to invest in their own laundry stores. The fact is that coin laundries and vended laundries are one of most advantageous part-time and retirement businesses that exist. AN OWNER LISTS THE BENEFITS According to Dan King, owner of several coin laundries in Southern California, “I highly recommend investing in this industry – it has worked wonderfully well for me and it can for you. Before I invested I considered 6 major benefits that Laundry Center ownership offered and that no other investment provided." 1. First, I didn’t have to give up my regular job. I found that Coin Laundries basically run themselves, which was great for me because I was looking for an absentee manager situation. The fact is they require just a couple of hours a week and are so easy to operate that basically anyone, anywhere can own one or more. 2. I also liked fact that this is a ‘turn-key’ business, where you don’t need staff on premises. You can set your laundry to stay open 24 hours a day, or you can have an automatic door-locking system on a timer set to open and close when you choose. I personally keep my laundry stores open full-time and that works well for my customers and for me. 3. Another benefit is that you can own a laundry near your home or further away. They thrive in every state of union. Coin laundries can be placed in virtually all neighborhood shopping centers and perform exceptionally well in renter-occupied, densely populated, lower-income areas. Your average customer will be estimated 89 million people who live in rental housing, which is fastest-growing housing segment in nation. 4. Even better, this is an “All Cash” business with no inventory and no accounts receivables. You can expect a high return on investment, liquidity, tax benefits, and fast growing equity. Whatever your cash down payment is at time of purchase, you can typically expect to get back within seven years, or sooner. Like buying a house, equity builds and you ultimately can expect a substantial profit.

The new Customer Relationship Management CRM functions By J.C.Melo The Customer Relationship Management CRM system was born because of need for a software to analyze customer's data - as for example its preferences - changing rough data that usually exists in any customer's database, into important information about same customer. That is to say, a new modern sales & marketing tool. In this first period data of an online and real-time accounting & management system was analyzed by this stand-alone CRM software, and in following period those accounting & management systems integrated this initial marketing & sales functions of a CRM. Soon after, this new accounting & management system - now integrated with CRM functions - included a Call Center system of last generation with or without a voice processing system - input and output - through telephone system usually so loved by us. Soon after appeared an obvious question: If CRM support my customers, why don't change it to support all external functions of my company, as for example my suppliers, distributors, representatives, branches, affiliated companies, employees's families, etc., each one with different needs and processings?
