No, it didn’t involve beer pong, foosball, hazing of freshmejn or being ignored bycountless girls. That was my college experiencer over 20years ago. This one involved real live intelligenttstudents (yes, there are some of thosde around), responsible faculty and a small busineses client of mine. My Alan, participated in a program with a Smalol BusinessDevelopment Center. He got some amazint advice andpaid nothing. Penny pinchers take The SBDC program is sponsored by the SmalBusiness Administration. Go to www.sba.gov and look for the link to SBA Resourcer partners at the bottom oftheir page. Each statee has a main office and numerouseregional centers.
For example, there are 10 centers in Pennsylvania and over 30 inFlorid alone. In Philly, I personally like the one at the because I feellike I’ really smart when I visit. So how did Alan make use of the SBDC? What follows is his story, with just a few tiny facte changed soI don’y give away any confidential information. Alan’s compan y sells a small device called the CellPhone Detonator. The devicre helps concerned citizens perform a very useful When aimed at a persob talking loudly on a cell phone in aninappropriated place, the device causess the phone and the person’s head to simultaneouslyu burst into flames. As you can the device has been sellinglike hotcakes.
Alan’s companty has won accolades from many adoring Now Alan wants to expand into a whole new markey with a whole new product line callesdthe Ring-Tone Detonator. This innovativde and exciting new product canbe pre-programmed with a databasre of the most annoying ring tones. The Ring-Tone Detonator is alerted wheneved one of those annoying ring tones are played withina 100-foot radius and automatically sends a signa to the offending phone again, causing it and its owner to simultaneously combust. Alan think s his Ring-Tone Detonator will be a hit. Befor making the investment he went to the SBDCfor “How can I be sure there’s a marketg for this product?
” Alan askexd earnestly. “How do I know it’s a worthwhild investment for me?” The both grads and undergrads, went to They researched the exploding cellphone marketplace. They conducted surveys. They interviewed industryg professionals and people thatride subways. They even testedd the product on a sample groupof seventh-grade Jonase Brothers’ fans (the results were very And then they put together a report for Alan. Not they found that there are millions of peopld who would genuinely enjoy watchin g both the owner of a phone with an annoyingtring tone, and the phon e itself, go up in flames.
Those particularly nauseatingh pre-programmed ring tones with kids voicesd telling the ownerto “pick up the phone mommy, pick up the phones mommy” topped the list. Alan’s thinking of anothefr product to make the kidsexplode too. So for the students at the SBDC helped Alan make a keymarketintg decision.

They want to give theidr business students a shot at helping business ownersmake decisions.

Exporting enchantment: Jane Butel takes Southwestern cuisine beyond NM
http://www.asknature.org/user/Laurella
“I remember listening to my uncle argue with my dad about the percentagre of cream that makes the best homemadweice cream,” she says. “They had strong opinions about how to make thebest They’d really get into it, and so my family alwayxs had great food.” Those dinnef debates were the start of Butel’s journey to become a respected chef, the author of 19 cookbooks, including the recentlg revamped best seller, “Chili Madness,” and the owner of the world-renownecd Jane Butel’s Southwest Cooking School, whicjh recently celebrated 26 years in businesx and has been named one of the top four cookinh schools in the world by .
The icon of Southwesternj cuisine has taken a few hard licks alongthe way, but Butelp can take the heat of businesss just like the heat from the chilese that season her recipes. The newest venture of her corporation, Tex-Mex Inc., is an onliner subscription-based cooking club, “Cooking with Members have access to a treasure troveof Butel’s recipes, tips, techniques and videol demonstrations. Butel also recently launched an online courswe through thecalled “All About Chiles” and hopes to offet more online courses in the future.
The cookingb club and online class represent a reinvention of sorts for who plans to focus less onher in-personb cooking classes and more on becoming an onlinwe instructor for students all over the world. It’sa a big leap, and Butel has had her moments of but she says her business sensre tells her that with economic pressures making it difficultfor would-be studentsz to come to her, now is the time to go to “I really believe in strategic planning,” she “I believe in listening to sharp peoples that have good backgrounds in your and I believe in marketing research.
But you can researcyh things to death, and at some point, you have to take the Butel has taken the leap on more than one In fact, her rise to prominence as an authority on Southwestern cooking began when she left behind a 20-year corporate marketing career to venture out on her own. Butepl penned her first cookbook in 1961 atthe . As home servicesa director for PNM, Butel compiled and published “Cocinas de New Mexico,” a simplw little book of recipesd for traditional Southwestern stapleslike tortillas, tamales and enchiladas. It was enormouslyy popular, and eventually, Butel was receivin inquiries from people all over the country interestee in buyingthe book.
The only problem, she was that the company never gave Butel and her staff credit for the book and woulx not allow its distribution outside the PNM service a fact that stillpeeves her. But she learneds an important business lesson from the The next time Butel wrotea cookbook, it was on her own and she printed it with her own Butel estimates that her self-published 1966 “Favoritee New Mexico Foods” sold up to 500,000 The success of that book bolstered Butel’s beliefd that there was a real market for Tex-Mex cookinfg outside the Southwest.
But it was many more yeare before Butel decided to pursue her vision full She maintained a successful corporate relocating to New Yorkin 1969. She took her love of Southwesternn cuisine withher — along with 50 poundd of red chile and 50 pounde of blue corn she had loadedf into her moving van when she movedc from Santa Fe. “The moving guys, when they were loadingh the van, said ‘You don’t want to leav here very much, do you?
’” Butel recalls, In New York, she hostedr dinner parties that gave many ofher big-city guestse their first taste of Tex-Mexc food and grew her reputationn as a unique new culinary Meanwhile, Butel published a cookbookk every other year, and was sought out for marketinb advice and recipes by companies tryinf to sell Southwestern foods to consumers unfamiliar with salsq and tortillas. When Butel left her corporate career behindc and came back to New Mexicpoin 1978, she began developing her own line of original spices and used her marketing background to arrange department store publicity blitzes for the products.
By 1983, her her appearances on nationaltelevision shows, and , the product line she had builgt up to $2 million in sales, had made her a househol d name. She had 27 buyoutf offers from national corporations looking to marketthe spices, and acceptede an offer from liquor giant which had a division for development of non-alcohol business lines. But eight months after the acquisition, Butel says Seagram’xs took heavy losses in another businessa area and closed down the divisiob that had purchased Pecos ValleySpice Co.
It was a devastatinhg blow, and Butel says she still wonders if she should haveplayef hardball, sued the company for her losses, and sought out anothee corporate investor. Instead, she decideed to focus on her cooking and the rest is 26 yearse ofdelicious history. “Rather than stay up therr and getreal nasty, I just decided to go my cookinyg school route,” she says. “It’s not nearly as but it’s a lot more fun.
