Brad Sugars’ “Business is Booming” Tour is Headed to the U.S. and Canada
LAS VEGAS, NV – The unemployment rate for the U.S. may have decreased, but at 10 percent, it’s still much higher than the usual nationwide average. Since the recession began, most business owners have been worrying over their financials and numbers, wondering how their business will stay afloat until the recession finally ends.
The business owner community needs help, and ActionCOACH founder and Chairman Brad Sugars wants to come to their rescue. How exactly can one man come to the aid of business owners all across North America?
Sugars and his team at ActionCOACH have experienced an entirely different run of events during this U.S. recession. ActionCOACH, the world’s number one business coaching company, as well as the clients they service, have experienced continual, consistent growth.
Sugars wants to help the country get out of recession and to ease small and medium-sized business owners’ worries about their businesses. He kept thinking of a way he could get his invaluable business advice out to as many people as possible, all over the country.
What he came up with is something that most CEOs would say they’re too busy for. Something that many CEOs say they wish they had the time for, but ultimately don’t do.
Well, Brad Sugars will do exactly what CEOs and business experts should do for their clients – he will take time away from ActionCOACH and devote most of 2010 to tour North America, speaking at various places and giving business help and strategies, all in the form of what he’s dubbed the “Business is Booming” tour.
In order to really help business owners all across the country, Sugars is happy to take time off – about six or seven months of next year – to help business owners improve their teams, time management, cash flow, profitability, and the five most important metrics toward financial improvement, among other strategies and business tactics.
Sugars is embarking on his Business is Booming” tour, a 51-city tour from March through June next year through the U.S. and Canada. He’ll be sharing 28 proven strategies and “secrets” of staying in business during the current economic conditions to help small to medium-sized business owners all across the country.
“Business owners will walk away with vision and drive to take the business to the next level; instilled confidence in the business owner; an abundance of proven successful business strategies; and the ability to leverage your strengths,” Sugars said.
“Several countries – Ireland and the U.S., especially – have been hit hard by the recession, and people need business advice,” Sugars said. “This tour gives much-needed advice to coaches and their clients. I’m speaking about actionable items people can go away with and apply to their situations.”
Sugars has already done most of his tour, which started April 12. Sugars will travel to 52 cities in North America – from Las Vegas to Miami to New York City to Edmonton Alberta. After taking a break for July, he’ll resume this tour again August 23, and hopes that by visiting all these major cities, people who want to attend “Business is Booming” either live in a city he’ll be speaking in, or will live within commuting distance. To help make sure lots of people will be able to see him speak, he’s even be staying in bigger states more than one day…he’ll be travelling around Florida – Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville – for a whole week!
“The biggest disappointment is you can’t get to more people – you can only go to so many cities,” Sugars said. “There are more people that need help that just can’t get to the event. But that’s another reason I’m doing these tours – to give ActionCOACH more exposure and inform more people about what we do, so we might be able to help more people.”
Sugars is a featured columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine, has given several seminars and has written several books about business strategies, including the highly acclaimed business book series, “Instant Success Series,” published by McGraw Hill.
He has maintained his stance throughout the economic instability: “If you have the knowledge, skills and guidance, you can turn the situation into a fantastic opportunity for your business.”
It’s worked for ActionCOACH…it can work for other business owners.
ActionCOACH is the world’s number one business coaching and executive coaching firm, with more than 1,000 offices in 32 countries. To learn more, go to actioncoach.com. For more information about the tour, go to www.businessisboomingtour.com or www.bradsugars.com.

March 2007 U.s. Auto Sales Increased
After the selling days for the month of March closed and car manufacturers posted their sales figures, the American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA) recently announced the total auto sales in the United States for the month of March.
The association of car manufacturers reported that U.S. car sales for the said month increased by 0.8 percent as compared to March of last year. Last month, 1,542,229 new cars have been sold in the United States alone. The said figure is the total sales output of the Big Three and other international car manufacturers doing business in the United States.
Breaking down the figure between U.S. based car manufacturers and international brands, AIADA reported that the international brands are closing in on the Big Three in terms of the U.S. auto market share. Collectively, international brands posted an 8.8 percent increase in sales compared to their total sales for the month of March in 2006.
Currently, the U.S. car manufacturers still control the majority of the U.S. market with 51.6 percent under their belt. Meanwhile, international brands continue their surge by taking 48.4 percent of the U.S. auto market. If the current trend continues, international brands will be on their way to take the majority of the U.S. auto market just like what experts in the industry has projected.
The U.S. auto market is still being dominated by General Motors which is currently the largest car manufacturer in the world. The Michigan based automaker grabbed 22 percent of the U.S. auto market last month. Last year, the Detroit auto giant controlled 23.3 percent of the market. Following General Motors on the leader board is fellow Michigan based Ford Motor Company. The outfit headed by Alan Mulally takes hold of 16 percent of the U.S. auto market.
Close behind FoMoCo is the surging Toyota which now has 15.7 percent of the U.S. auto market. It can be remembered that experts in the auto industry expects the Toyota Motor Corporation to overtake Ford in the U.S. before the end of this year. And by looking at the current market shares of Ford and Toyota it would seem that their prediction will come true and not even a high quality brake from Active Brakes Direct can stop the Japanese brand.
Behind General Motors, FoMoCo, and Toyota is the troubled Chrysler Group. The member of the Big Three takes control of 13.4 percent of the U.S. auto market. The car manufacturer can be remembered to have announced the closing of plants and reducing their workforce. Those steps can lead to further shrinking of their U.S. auto market share. If the Chrysler Group continues their downward slide, it would only be a matter of time before another Asian brand overtakes them.
Honda sits behind Chrysler in the leader board with 9.3 percent of the U.S. auto market. Honda’s rivalry with Toyota can further increase their sales output as they come up with more and more popular models. Another Asian brand follows Honda in the leader board and it is Nissan, the counterpart of Chrysler in the Japanese auto market now has 7.2 percent of the U.S. auto market for the month of March.

With e-commerce to develop the U.S. market after parts – automobile market, auto parts – automotive supplies industry
As an important part of the U.S. auto industry, one after the auto parts market is huge. According to the U.S. AAIA / Automotive Industry Association’s statistics after the market: the broad sense (the sale of all vehicle-related goods) have an average size of about 257 billion U.S. dollars, estimated the narrow sense (only refer to accessories) are about 15 billion. Vehicle this year
Sell General weakness of the U.S., after the market turned to tap potential, has become in many parts manufacturers, distributors, vehicle manufacturers and even the strategic center of gravity. China’s auto parts companies are fully capable of, we should explore this huge market, fighting over food share.
And preparation before entering any market, like homework, domestic enterprises should first understand their own products in the U.S. market and potential customer demand conditions. After the market’s product range is not just a simple auto replacement parts, has derived from the parts, professional equipment and tools, auto
Chemical industry Products, Electronic Products, and even household appliances (such as car
TV , Refrigerator, DVD player) and other aspects. After the market’s customers range from ordinary car owners, enthusiasts, modified vehicles and special vehicles to the ship manufacturers, major car rental companies.
For different customers, should use its own strategic advantage and make different plans. For example, after the market for the ordinary car owners, fashion electronic appliance technology is a good selling point. June 2009 report of a JDPower market: 50% of U.S. vehicle owners to use the auxiliary jack to connect music players, while 68% of Americans would like to have a wireless Bluetooth system to connect. Taking into account the more expensive original manufacturer, 30% of car buyers are willing themselves to buy a relatively inexpensive alternative
GPS Navigation system. As for the market after the conversion plant and lovers may be more focused on the unique and quality issues, such as special shapes
Wheel And lights; for large company fleets and car rental companies, the price may be important, such as the procurement of hundreds of thousands of year, wiper, car mat freight company.
Number of cases in the above, either advanced automotive electronic and electrical appliances, or slightly lower-tech windshield wiper, car mat, etc., Chinese companies have come in handy. But with a good strategic plan, how to best implement them may reduce the threshold to enter the United States do? To send more than permanent staff time and effort the United States, while U.S. companies are not easy merger, whilst it might not be temporary effect. Of capital, talent pool is not sufficient spare parts companies in China, widely popular in the Internet and logistics highly developed today, with the convenience of electronic commerce to develop new markets, is the smallest input can get the most out of the door.
View of this, domestic enterprises should fully understand the system of Internet-based automotive business, making operating income of financial resources. Build a business for the automotive after market system, there are two general approaches. First, resources from the business point of view, the adoption of an international popular business software packages integrated ERP system, after market, purchasing, production, logistics, and accounting of the business, integration of financial goods. This advantage is greatly enhanced operational efficiency, speed up the pace of internationalization. Risk is: ERP software systems often involve business management transformation, in order to meet the needs of professional software drastic changes in business processes, will impact the company operations, or even failure.
Second approach is a network system architecture in stages. Auto market after the e-commerce system has two main core of the listed product information (or report) and structure of the online ordering system. If the one-time limited, could be other non-core systems and business processes were delayed.
A list of product information (or report), there can be fusion
IT Infrastructure, such as display functions only on the company website embedded business application platform. According to the American habit to classify information on auto parts. Prepared to provide samples and photos show function; provide users rate the customer product ratings, fast recommendation functions. Product information at any time to pay attention to updates, and provide the same data in a variety of display formats, such as ordinary paper, PDF format, XML format (suitable for machines / EDI software to read), Network HTML format, as well as mobile phones to read format. American
Auto Parts Company ArvinMeritor Web site that is in the following markets to provide high agreement of more than 100,000 product information in various forms of parts.
Online ordering system architecture, from the need to build a set of orders, order processing, to pay the full settlement of the trading system. Provide view purchase history, print receipts, provide dynamic inventory calculation, and even exchange rates and other amenities. To protect the interests of the company, reducing business risk and security sales success, after the personal customer market systems also need to dynamically check the United States private client’s credit card spending limit; for large companies after the market system, need to dynamically check the U.S. D & B Business credit. Highly developed in the Internet the United States, these are paid monthly automatic search system, without a huge investment of domestic companies do.
Also very important but there are other discretionary building systems, including product support, sales potential analysis, and customer resource management systems, electronic promotion and promoting the website rankings. These are the tool to improve sales.
In the United States vehicle market, with different cars after the market has been an average annual growth rate of 3.8%. Faced with such a huge market, Chinese companies if they can create an efficient network operating system without a large investment of manpower, will be able to broaden sources of income, to snatch a share of.
