** Sales Statement: **
> . //What are the types of people who would be a fit and where can we find them to introduce Lifebushido?// People who love to explore and learn new things or challenges, people who are not comfortable with > what they are currently doing or people who have a lots of spare time and willing to put their time to something good are very much a fit to Lifebushido. I think when people stuck with family or love to spend time with family have difficulties to get money and difficulties in finding something what they love to do, or what they talented about, or what they are passionate about. So normally, people ask people about home jobs or what they want to have or get. Local newspaper advertisement are the very effective or local TV advertisements are cost effective, Creating groups and inviting people to that group on social networks are good ways to reach people. > . > > When there is a lot of opportunity Lifebushido can help people by giving them job to get best candidates to work with Lifebushido. The first thing is the payment. Best hourly rate of money attract even thousands of people including working in other best companies. People want to work and like to work, and give and take respect. Working environment, number of working hours, work pressure are also factors of outcome of every employee. So giving best salary will make people stay in Lifebushido, and also word of mouth publicity will attract more candidates to Lifebushido. Now a days people know about all types of scams, so an advertisement don't make much sense, but when a friend tells about something people will really consider. So advertising through social media through friends and friends of friends is a great way of attracting people. Keeping in touch with candidate increase the trust of persons about Lifebushido and leads to joining to Lifebushido. Giving best guidelines and making things clear is necessary to gain much popularity. No one wants to do rocket science, only a few geeks likes to do. So keep things as simple even if they are not will provide advantage to Lifebushido. Lifebushido applications for devices will increase the reach of publicity. > A web site is the virtual face of a company. Changing to cool web site, including web 3.0 or HTML5 and simple and apt navigation will help people to understand. Instead of separate web sites. Making all the company websites to one page will help people to navigate.for example Google provides drive, G mail, YouTube on there home page, and people love to navigate even if they are different services. Conducting seminars, uploading best video's about company, different old advertisement methods can be used to reach local or "looking for some job" people. WAH job sites best to advertise on. Regular or usual marketing ways like sending mails and referral programs are a great way of advertising. Giving advertisement in websites like free hosting, free downloads, providing Android iPhone apps or advertising in newly launched device games will help people to know about Lifebushido. Giving a best tag like "key for cash" or "jobs for lazies" can get people noticed. Printed T-shirts, mugs, pens if they are cheap or no use will reach around number of poor people, concentrating on moms, or disabled people's. Schools are best way to get permanent workers

Websites & Services

 * www.wiggio.com - Is a free, online toolkit that makes it easy to work in groups. Developers developed wiggio out of their own frustrations with working in groups. In their site they say they were tired of sending eleven emails back and forth to set a meeting time, they were fed up with "that guy" who just never knows where and when to be for meetings. They were tired of multiple mailing lists. contact books, phone-chains. and incompatibilities. Like us they want everything to be in one place, and they wanted it simple, and found wiggio. They say that wiggio is very simple to use even for the very least tech-savvy people.
 * www.zoho.com - zoho is a super fast crm site helps people who give attention to there time and effort. Have awsome business tools to manage leads, process things, and schedule things, but services are not free. Still, the service are worth the money.

Task 2 - Creative Brainstorming Task
Sales Statement:
 * Lifebushido provides virtual assistants to small business entrepreneurs with $100,000-$10 million in revenue.


 * 1) What type of small businesses, professions and entrepreneurs do you think would be the best target market for our services and why? Name 3-5Do you have any personal experience with any of these areas? For example, you have run a business in that industry, you worked for that type of company, you have close friend/family with that type of business?
 * Start-ups have the least capital and will benefit from the services LB provides.
 * Doctors – schedules and central client lists and reminders
 * Lawyers – same as above
 * Schools – small to medium sized schools have little or no budget to market their services
 * I do outsource services for companies that cannot afford full IT departments. Same principles different clients.
 * Schools, have done work with schools as their IT outsource, for both software and hardware
 * We even approached Doctors before but here in Manila labor is cheaper so most of them already have (underpaid) staff with the expertise.

Find Entrepreneurs to Run Lifebushido Market Segments


 * We are starting to seek the 1 in 100 people working part-time from home who have strong entrepreneurial skills and either are already running their own business or want to start a business or have skills to run part of Lifebushido for fast growth.
 * Am interested in this
 * These type of people are sometimes called intrapreneurs: [].
 * Am interested in this
 * We imagine a new role at Lifebushido for these people to start with Microventures and become Leaders who run and operate clear new vertical markets for Lifebushido and market segments on a performance-based compensation plan. The compensation plan would be 100% based on results and a revenue or profit share split with target hourly compensation results ranging from $20-$50/hour or more.
 * This might be a good program to explore further
 * Out of 100 job applicants to Lifebushido, how many do you think may fit that profile?
 * Probably 5 out of 100
 * Out of 100 people working or seeking work part-time from home, or job applicants to Lifebushido, how many do you think may fit that profile?What are the types of people who would be a fit and where can we find them to introduce Lifebushido?
 * Probably 10 out of 100
 * Start with recently unemployed people because of lay-offs. They would be the quickest but also the highest turnover because they might not be a fit, maybe 5 in 1000 will fit LB
 * What are the types of people who would be a fit and where can we find them to introduce Lifebushido?
 * Entrepreneur’s with a global vision

Lifebushido Awareness
 * Review our free sites, [|www.goalbushido.com], [|www.bookbushido.com], and [|www.lessonsbushido.com].
 * What creative ways could we leverage these sites/assets for making more individuals aware of Lifebushido and its role in helping people, recruiting top job seekers to become an Ishido, or gaining more clients?


 * We have a concept similar to Triangles called small groups. It starts with 3-4 people with a moderator/leader that tackles a topic (goalbushido, bookbushido, lessonsbushido) they meet (IM, conference call, face2face etc) to discuss and learn for about 6-8 weeks. During this time leader/moderator is training these 3-4 people to form his/her own group and do the same. The growth is exponential and is tighter because of the relationship aspect. It’s a long term move.
 * Advertise in Group shopping site (Groupon, Dealshop etc) for free lessons in goal making, or life lessons etc. These are discount sites that LB can spread the materials to about 300,000 in Manila alone.

Lifebushido Big Idea


 * Do you have any big idea for Lifebushido? Based on your exposure to Lifebushido so far and our core vision at [|http://www.lifebushido.com], do you have any interesting ideas, no matter how big, for now or the future?

Bringing LB to Manila as its own entity but not only with the current format of working from home. We can tap the different provinces where only internet can reach. Or maybe create a format for mobile phones. The Philippines has about 100 million population and 250 million phones (exaggerating… a little) so it could be another avenue.

The Philippines has also overtaken India as the BPO capital of the world. I want to setup a BPO here for LB with part time workers but that will and can cater to direct calls from all over the world. My goal is two-fold, to generate JOBS that are sorely lacking. We have 1M university graduates each year with no jobs waiting for them. That is the workforce available. Of course the income potential to support it all.

Task 1 - Recruit Circles of Clients
For New Recruit Task 2, I sent 18 emails, however 2 were sent back as undeliverable. I chose agents by first searching my direct area via google.

I am familiar with several realty groups in my direct area as I recently purchased a home, so I started with those. I then chose groups based on website quality and listed awards and recognition to try to find "top agents". I targeted broker/owners and team leads at my point-of-contact for each office or group.

I actually spent about 3 hours total on this task, but if I was to split my time into 2 hours, I would have spent about 30 minutes reading and understanding the instructions, 1 hour and 15 minutes doing research, and 15 minutes sending the emails.

To improve the task, I would further elaborate on the definition of "top agents". Many realtors promote being a "top agent", but their credentials, experience, and sales volume may be exaggerated or unknown. Also, if the emails were coming from a more official address (maybe an @BestAgentBusiness tail), the receiver may take the solicitation more seriously. Other than that, I feel that the task was well instructed, and should have an impact of at least expanding the Lifebushido brand.

I would rate this task as an A. I actually enjoy research and databases. I like the organization, and searching others' sales tactics, website appearance, and etc. is interesting to me.

Task 2 - Creative Brainstorming Task

 * Sales Statement: **
 * // Lifebushido provides virtual assistants to small business entrepreneurs with $100,000-$10 million in revenue. //
 * Questions: **
 * 1) // What 3-5 types of small businesses, professions and entrepreneurs do you think would be the best target market for our services and why? // The small businesses that would be the best target market for Lifebushido services are merchant services providers, insurance brokers, and doggy daycares.
 * 2) // Do you have any personal experience with any of these areas? (Example: You have run a business in that industry, you worked for that type of company or you have close friend/family with that type of business) // My husband currently has a small merchant services business. He sells credit card processing to small businesses and has about $150,000 in residual income revenue annually, with over $5 million annually in processing. He has about 200 customers, and he is starting to feel the pinch with regards to existing customer support and relationship management. He prides himself on maintaining relationships and word-of-mouth referrals, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to service all of his customers, while acquiring new clients to grow the business. He’s not ready for a full-time assistant, so I took on the task of managing his customer service policies, contacts, database, and retention efforts. If I had not been available, he could have used a virtual assistant for these tasks. I also know several professionals in the insurance sales industry who face similar concerns when trying to maintain a client base while acquiring new clients. Simple tasks like follow up letters, holiday cards, and other attempts at customer retention become very time-consuming the more successful one becomes. The doggy daycare industry is one that I am familiar with as well, as I have several friends in the business. They tend to be great with the dogs, but not so great on the bookkeeping side of things. Most doggy daycare owners get into the business because they love spending time with dogs, not in an office. The business tends to be very physical as well, which leaves little energy for back-end items at the end of the day.
 * Find Entrepreneurs to Run Lifebushido Market Segments Statements: **
 * // We are starting to seek the 1 in 100 people working part-time from home who have strong either entrepreneurial skills and are already running their own business or want to start a business or have skills to run part of Lifebushido for fast growth. //
 * // These type of people are sometimes called intrapreneurs: []. //
 * // We imagine a new role at Lifebushido for these people to start with Microventures and become Leaders who run and operate clear new vertical markets for Lifebushido and market segments on a performance-based compensation plan. The compensation plan would be 100% based on results and a revenue or profit share split with target hourly compensation results ranging from $20-$50/hour or more. //
 * Questions: **
 * 1) // Out of 100 job applicants to Lifebushido, how many do you think may fit that profile? // I’d say out of 100 job applicants to Lifebushido, maybe 30 would fit that profile. I’d like to think that those who have gone through the process and stuck with it are relatively motivated, and motivation is half the battle in my opinion.
 * 2) // Out of 100 people working, seeking work part-time from home or job applicants to Lifebushido, how many do you think may fit that profile? // I’d say out of 100 people working, seeking work part-time from home, or job applicants to Lifebushido, about 15 would fit that profile. Many working people desire a stable paycheck and are comfortable where they are, and many people that want to work part-time from home just want a little extra income to make ends meet, not a career.
 * 3) // What are the types of people who would be a fit and where can we find them to introduce Lifebushido? // Salespeople would be a good fit for the profile. Many people that are already in sales desire to diversify their revenue streams to combat the ebb and flow of other industries they may be involved in. Since it’s difficult to find people willing to work at 100% commission, I would look to people that already work part-time (possibly with Lifebushido in a different area) to fill those roles and grow the venture in spare working time. I would be interested in working in such an environment, in addition to performing hourly work. Many ideas for new ventures are fostered through the work that one is currently doing (for example, process improvements or industry needs discovered while performing duties).
 * Lifebushido Awareness Statement: **
 * // Review our free sites, [|www.goalbushido.com], [|www.bookbushido.com], and [|www.lessonsbushido.com]. //
 * Question: **
 * 1) // What creative ways could we leverage these sites/assets for making more individuals aware of Lifebushido and its role in helping people, recruiting top job seekers to become an Ishido, or gaining more clients? // There is value in Goalbushido as I am unaware of any stand-alone goal website where a user can login and track goals. If the site had a login, a simple data storage page with calendars, slide-bars, and text input, along with a user forum, it could be a useful life management tool. Many sites offer free financial goal information and logging, and linking to those sites for tracking would also be beneficial. The site would need a mobile app, as more people would be likely to use the site on the go. The leader of my Lifesbushido team has also suggested hiring goal coaches for real-time support of users of Goalbushido. There’s potential for growth and monetization of Goalbushido if an initial time and capital investment is made. It could also be a free perk for BAB clients. Bookbushido is a great concept, as many busy people just don’t have time or energy to read books, but would benefit greatly from them. However, the page appears to be unmaintained, without substance, and a way to get email addresses for spam purposes. If the users could create a login to access the material instead of having it emailed, users would be more likely to sign-up, and Lifebushido would still have the person’s email address for future messages. To leverage the Bookbushido concept to expand the Lifebushido presence, a link and free login could be sent to existing Lifebushido clients and partners and an app could be developed for on-the-go reading. Snippets from the Bookbushido material with watermarks could be posted via instagram, pinterest, etc. for brand expansion.
 * Lifebushido Big Idea Questions: **
 * 1) // Do you have any big idea for Lifebushido? // My big idea for Lifebushido is to expand the overall presence and appearance of establishment by creating and maintaining social media sites. Most people that are aware of Lifebushido have an excellent opinion of the company, which make word-of-mouth and social media brand growth easier. The initiative and minor investment is all that is required, and existing clients and Ishidos will do the rest.
 * 2) // Based on your exposure to Lifebushido so far and our core vision at [], do you have any interesting ideas, no matter how big, for now or the future? // I think Lifebushido would receive more interest overall if Goalbushido and Lessonbushido had content on the website with user logins. The emails are series are great, but I personally enjoy an interactive website and it would create a more established presence for the brand, thus leading to an increase in clients via the Goalbushido and Lessonbushido avenues.

Task 4 - Creative Lifebushido Vision - Write/Audio/Video
Creative Lifebushido Vision blog post: @http://www.thehousethatbuiltus.com/2013/10/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html Creative Lifebushido Vision Pinterest post: @http://pinterest.com/pin/138415388520987547/

Lifebushido...
About 2 weeks after leaving my successful engineering career with NASA, I was already looking for something to fill the void. The void that I never thought I would have. The void that I thought maybe I shouldn’t have. But it’s the same void that millions on stay-at-home-moms find in themselves. The who-am-I-and-how-do-I-prove-that-I-am-still-a-woman-with-something-to-contribute void. I thought I wanted a career, I thought I wanted to be a full-time mom. But in reality, I want both…without going crazy. Impossible, you say?

Then I stumbled upon Lifebushido. They provide virtual assistant services, like hundreds of other firms hiring stay-at-home moms. But something was different. Something felt different. It may have been the stellar reviews I was seeing from current and former contractors. Or maybe it was the crazy name. I don’t know, but I knew I wanted to find out more. So I applied.

I received a series of emails that were mostly loaded questions for me that made me say “Hmmm.” Definitely not your standard interview process, but I went with it. Then it was suggested that I join a Lifesbushido Triangle. Yes, a Triangle. It’s essentially a team of other potential new recruits that work together through the hiring process, doing short tasks in an attempt to showcase abilities. If hired, you are then paid for those completed tasks. Sounds ok, but do I really want to dive in head first? Do I want to put effort into a “maybe”? “Maybe” I’ll get hired, and “maybe” I’ll enjoy the work, and “maybe” it’s what I’ve been looking for? Being a girl that’s never shied away from a challenge, I decided to go for it full-steam ahead. After-all, I had nothing to lose as the majority of other stay-at-home opportunities were not going to cut it.

So here I am, half-way through the Lifebushido Triangle process, and I’ve fallen for it. It IS different. And I like it. I can only hope that I get hired. I’ve even created a perception meme, which everyone knows is a sign of deep commitment.

This would be useful for Lifebushido new recruits, as well as employees, to collaborate with team members, maintain wikis, brainstorm ideas, and preserve research. (Jamie Cole, Pacesetters' Triangle, 10/3/13).
 * [|www.youtube.com/creativecommons] - The Creative Commons Attribution License provides a standard way for users to allow others to use their work to create new video etc. Users can mark videos with a Creative Commons license when uploading which grants permission for others to for use. This would be helpful to create marketing materials, particularly for Lifebushido Triangle creative projects. Also, with so many team members scattered across the world, this concept makes it possible for all team members to participate in the creation and editing of a video for a project. Lifebushido could also submit videos with creative license permissions as a marketing tool to expand the brand presence and promote the Lifebushido culture.

Task 1 - Recruit Circles of Clients



 * Total e-mails sent: 16
 * Task Rating - C
 * Time Spent: research 2 hours; e-mail 67 minutes - 10 minutes to send & 57 minutes to set up; instructions 20 minutes total - multiple readings.
 * Dislike task: I dislike the physical and mental repetition of the tasks of locating contacts, populating a database, and manually sending out form e-mails.
 * Selection criteria: Agents were selected based on search agent results for the key words, top producing realtor, and through realtor ranking web sites and news articles, then by web site information, and my ability to complete address and contact information. I used LinkedIn, FaceBook, and other client specific searches, generally in a hunt for the e-mail address.
 * Suggestions:
 * Reduce the number of agent records to be submitted to 10 from 15-20.
 * Give one e-mail instruction for task submission. There are currently three different e-mail directions for submitting this task. Two on this page, http://lifebushido-triangle.wikispaces.com/Triangle+Tasks+-+RCC, one at the top and the other at the bottom, and the first e-mail instruction on this page http://lifebushido-triangle.wikispaces.com/Triangle+Recruit+Tasks#Recruit%20Circles%20of%20Clients.

Task 2 Creative Brainstorming
>
 * Sales Statement: **
 * // Lifebushido provides virtual assistants to small business entrepreneurs with $100,000-$10 million in revenue. //
 * Questions: **
 * 1) //What 3-5 types of small businesses, professions and entrepreneurs do you think would be the best target market for our services and why?// Personal Trainers and Coaches, Massage Therapists, Caterers, Independent Insurance Agents, Landscaping- Yard and Pool Maintenance – These small business types can have needs for administrative assistance in calendar management, customer follow-up, billing, record keeping, appointment setting, and market awareness assistance,
 * 2) //Do you have any personal experience with any of these areas? (Example: You have run a business in that industry, you worked for that type of company or you have close friend/family with that type of business)// I have personal experience receiving services from or talking with individuals involved in the businesses listed above.
 * Find Entrepreneurs to Run Lifebushido Market Segments Statements: **
 * // We are starting to seek the 1 in 100 people working part-time from home who have strong entrepreneurial skills and either are already running their own business or want to start a business or have skills to run part of Lifebushido for fast growth. //
 * // These type of people are sometimes called intrapreneurs: []. //
 * // We imagine a new role at Lifebushido for these people to start with Microventures and become Leaders who run and operate clear new vertical markets for Lifebushido and market segments on a performance-based compensation plan. The compensation plan would be 100% based on results and a revenue or profit share split with target hourly compensation results ranging from $20-$50/hour or more. //
 * Questions: **
 * 1) //Out of 100 job applicants to Lifebushido, how many do you think may fit that profile?// Out of 100 job applicants to Lifebushido I think 1% of the people have what it takes to be an intrapreneur.
 * 2) //Out of 100 people working, seeking work part-time from home or job applicants to Lifebushido, how many do you think may fit that profile?// I think 1-3% of the people working who are seeking to work from home or have applied to Lifebushido have what it takes to be an intrapreneur.
 * 3) //What are the types of people who would be a fit and where can we find them to introduce Lifebushido?// People who want to own a business not just make money from home would be people who might fit the profile. People who have a passion about a marketable product or service and a vision to see the idea become a reality, but maybe lack the knowledge or support to do so on their own. You may find these people through small business magazines or entrepreneur magazine or posting ads for small business opportunities in classified ads.
 * Lifebushido Awareness Statement: **
 * // Review our free sites, [|www.goalbushido.com], [|www.bookbushido.com], and [|www.lessonsbushido.com]. //
 * Question: **
 * 1) //What creative ways could we leverage these sites/assets for making more individuals aware of Lifebushido and its role in helping people, recruiting top job seekers to become an Ishido, or gaining more clients?// In general, use Facebook advertising and Google, Bing, and Yahoo adwords to start a buzz about ‘Bushido” stuff to increase awareness in the products and services produced by Lifebushido. In my opinion, the web sites could use a little vamping to increase their professional appearance and make the company look like a company you would want to work for, buy products from, or hire. Another idea would be to put the books and possibly e-mail series in downloadable audio form.
 * Lifebushido Big Idea Questions **
 * 1) //Do you have any big idea for Lifebushido?// Yes, add goal coaches to Goalshido and generate a revenue stream.
 * 2) //Based on your exposure to Lifebushido so far and our core vision at [], do you have any interesting ideas, no matter how big, for now or the future?// As far as big ideas go, I am into small business coaching and mentoring, and I think if Lifebushido expands the work done with start-up businesses and nonprofits Lessons Learned could be developed into a course or virtual seminar taught by independent contractors with Goalbushido enhancing services by providing goal coaches for a personal touch to really help people reach their goals.
