Membership Questions
How will you market BIZremedies? We will market BIZremedies nationally through our PR newswire and Google. We are also cross-linked with many sites and because of the volume of BIZremedies usuage, you will find your information at the top of the Google search engines. And of course, we depend upon you to help us spread the word by inviting the consultants and businesses you know to the site.
How does the Post your Project for hire, work? (RFP section) First, a business realizes they have a project-for-hire, where they need an expert consultant, instead of a employee status. They then, as a member of BIZremedies, can post their project on our site by filling out a post-your-project form. The information, with the job specifications, will then be posted on our site. Every consultant who meets your qualifications can then bid on your project. The bid comes directly to your email, the one you listed on the form. How many people can I expect to bid on my project? If we see that you have a project posted and that we do not have a qualified consultant for your project, we will search for the appropriate consultants and, as a service to you, we will contact those qualified consultants in the field and let them know about your project.
Do other consultants see my bid for the project(s)? Your bid for any project is confidential and will go directly to the business person who has posted the project and who will be making the decision. BIZ Blog Will I be the only expert in my field with a Blog? No. When a member signs up for a Gold Membership, they have the opportunity to become an expert blogger if they have such expertise. However, we do not see this as a negative competition but as a driving force to our site, meaning, those people looking for certain advice would be more apt to come to BIZremedies if they knew there were many expert opinions on a given topic. Your job as a blogger is to create a sense of Branding, meaning a unique way to express your perspectives and niche in your field.
What are the requirements to be on the site? At BIZremedies, we leave it upon each consultant to prove their credentials and for each business to be astute in their decision-making. We help you to do this by having a Qualified Consultant program that consultants can take to ensure that they are following the best practices of consultants, and therefore will work your project in the most cost effective and efficient way. We also have a Values Match program that you can take to ensure you are choosing the consultant with the best personality and culture fit. Look for our BIZremedies Qualified Consultant seal on each profile.
If I am a consultant, what do I have to do to get a blog, to upload information in your BIZlibrary, or to be able to do a workshop/webinar? You must take the Qualified Consultant program to be able to do the above.
Is there exclusivity in each consultant or business section? No. However, a Qualified Consultant Seal will set you apart from the rest.
What do you consider a consultant? A consultant is someone who provides counsel and assistance to a client on specific project/assignment and brings to the company a specific area of expertise.
What is pre-qualified directory? At BIZremedies, we depend on the consultants to provide references and testimonials to validate their expertise. We also depend on people who use the consultants to rate them so that others can see directly the impact their services had on your business.
Is my identity secured and confidential? Yes. You will have a username that you can use that will keep your identity confidential and will allow you to be in discussion in our Forums. You can also use our private messaging feature which allows you to connect with certain individuals, who you choose, in a more private way.
What is Online Training and how does it work? You can put audio tapes or video tapes online for free samples of your work on our website. We suggest short examples of work, about 5-30 minutes that businesses could use for training meetings. Then, you can create a link to your own web store and sell the full version off your website. If you need help with conversion or uploading to the site, we can help you with this service for an extra charge, otherwise it is free. Uploading and downloading BIZ Tip Sheets is a feature available to Premier Members. If you are a business or consultant and want to share expertise on a topic, create a PDF file on your computer and then go into this section of your account and upload your file. Choose the category under which your topic would apply. If you want to market your business, be sure to put your logo on the material and the contact information. It is a great way to let others know what you know and may lead to business.
Who can participate in the Lunch and Learn programs? The Corporate Shape Up Breakfast programs are available to our Members for $20/Non-Members $30. This includes bages, coffe, fruit and the speaker.
Only Qualified Consultants can apply to give a 30-minute presentation, and a 15 mintue Q & A, which we will host at one of our BIZremedies Offices around the nation. If you meet our expert criteria, then we will host the presentation for you and market for you as well. There is no payment for your time and materials, and we do not take any portion of the business you may get as a result of your presentation.
Our programs are offered at our BIZremedies office at 200 S. Executive Dr. Suite 101, Brookfield, WI 53005. If you are near a major city, likely we have an office near you. Click on Regus Office Suites to see if we have a location suitable for you www.regus.com
