The NEW New Business Kit is Here!

December 20th, 2010
The New Business KitThe New Business Kit (formerly The Successful Business Kit) is a turn-key marketing tool to promote your firm. It’s promoted as a comprehensive guide to the financial, tax and accounting considerations of starting a new business. It’s the perfect giveaway to current clients and referral sources as well as a great call-to-action for prospective clients.
 
The cost of publishing has decreased dramatically, allowing you to publish your very own New Business Kit for less than $4 per copy. On-demand sites such as www.createspace.com have no set minimum, so you can order 10, 50 or 100 of your very own book.

Every marketing piece must have a call to action and this $4 professionally published book is perfect.

When you buy the NBK you receive the rights to reproduce the New Business Kit, the data files and a step-by-step publishing guide to customize, upload and publish your own book. You will need particular editing software (such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat) or access to a graphic designer. Alternatively you can utilize our customization services. 2020 Customization services include:

  • Internal customization – CA only
  • Cover Customization – All States
  • Publishing Customization via www.creatspace.com – All States

We’re in the Cloud!

December 1st, 2010

2020 group USA has made the transition to a completely hosted solution.  Decision day came when our server finally died and we were not excited about the significant investment required to get the appropriate hardware in our office.  Truthfully we also didn’t want the hassle of back ups and data security weighing us down. 

We’ve gone with a hosted dedicated server being hosted by Real Time Bookkeeping at SAS 70 Data facility in San Diego.  We use a thinworx portal to connect to our server and we host only the applications we need and use, not the great majority of applications and programs that come with standard machines.

1 week in and 80% of our data is hosted.  We should be 100% by this coming weekend – stay tuned!  There is a learning curve and we have to implement some new systems.  At times it has been frustrating, but the benefits far outweigh these and I know in the next couple of weeks, we’ll be wondering why we took so long to get on board.
