Suggest You - Scranton, PA; A nice place to live, work or play
Background:Southwest Airlines is the largest airline measured by number of passengers carried each year within the United States. It is also known as a ‘discount airline’ compared with its large rivals in the industry. Rollin King and Herb Kelleher founded Southwest Airlines on June 18, 1971. Its first flights were from Love Field in Dallas to Houston and San Antonio, short hops with no-frills service and a simple fare structure. The airline began with one simple strategy: “If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline.” This approach has been the key to Southwest’s success. Currently, Southwest serves about 60 cities (in 31 states) with 71 million total passengers carried (in 2004) and with a total operating revenue of $6.5 billion. Southwest is traded publicly under the symbol “LUV” on NYSE.Facts:* The first major airline to fly a single type of aircraft (Boeing 737s)* The first major airline to offer ticketless travel system wide including a frequent flier program based on number of trips and not number of miles flown.* The first airline to offer a profit-sharing program to its Employees (instituted in 1973).* The first major airline to develop a Web site and offer online booking. In 2001, about 40 percent ($2.1 billion) of its passenger revenue was ge
The rural areas of PA are secluded by toll ways and the money flow is escaping via Wal-Mart, which accounts for 11% of our nations consumer spending. The money flows into Wal-Mart, they pay local wages, donate to charity and the rest leaves the state, although PA has it's share of companies which make things for Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart buys in the USA first, as well it should and Sam always promised, less and less things are made in the US anymore due to too many regulations and laws about nothing such as ADA, OSHA, EPA, etc. Many items are being made in China now, or some still in Mexico, less than before since Monterrey is dead too. The money flowing out into China is not coming back fast enough, due to Patriot's act slowing money coming into the country and a crack down on money launderers thus the money stays out once it leaves. It is noteworthy to look at such issues such as where does the money flow too. I am worried for rural America and am upset and feel sick to my stomach every time I see a boarded up small business in a rural town. You see they slow you down to 25 mph for speed trap but at that speed you see things much deep
They started out as a small, family owned retailer and gradually began to spread beyond its small town roots to towns across America. Along the way they changed the company’s name and quickly became known for offering low prices on a wide variety of items. Consumers flock to them and they are opening more stores annually in the US than any other retailer. I’m talking about Wal-Mart, right? No, Dollar General! Let’s take a closer look at another one of America’s retail success stories, the Dollar General Corporation.J.L. Turner was a man toughened by life’s difficulties who founded what was later to become Dollar General with his son, Cal. At the age of 11, his father died and young J.L. soon found himself out of school and working to support his family. By the age of 17 he was married and operating a bridle shop with his wife. Later, he opened a country store but had to give that business up when prices dropped along with his profits. Soon thereafter he began to work for a dry goods wholesaler and, later, he bought and liquated bankrupt general stores during the Great Depression.By 1939, J.L. and Cal decided to plunk down $5,000 each to start J.L Turner and Sons Wholesale store in Kentucky. In 1955 a new idea was born – the dollar store – and all the stores in their growing fold soon were converted and the Dollar General name was born. The company went public in 1968 and today it operates over 7550 stores in 30 states with more t

Coal mining in PA goes way back to the middle of the 1800's and it was always dangerous, if you ‘google’ the mining industry accidents in the state you will see what we mean. The demographics are good in Scranton, although it has been economically challenged as of late. Under-represented with minority populations but it is a good market never the less. Of value is the many industrial parks in the North Eastern Penn area and the good road situation South of town on I-81, well at least if they ever get done with the project. Scranton has a bit of an alcohol and drug situation due to probably the work hard play hard cultural history there. But all in all if you are not looking for it you probably would not notice it. We look at Scranton as being a second tier market for our expansion into PA and a worthy market for many types of businesses.
If you talk with Dan Walsh administrator for the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce (which needs a sign out front perpendicular to Mulberry Street so you can find it), he will tell you about the many new projects going up in and around town. Places such as the Jessup Small Business Center and Valley View Business Center. But also we found projects nearby in the Covington Township, namely "The Business Park". Cool name? Simple.
The Scranton Enterprise Center downtown seems to be an uplifting idea, and there could be some increased foot traffic there. As the new parts of the town and the box stores are going up in the Bus 6 in the Dickson City Limits. Everyone is there, a regional mall, Home Depo, Wal-Mart, etc. Kind of cutting off the buyers coming from vacation homes in the Poconos. But still it employees residents of Scranton and the other metro adjacent townships.
The Southside of town is ripe for fleets of trucks and distribution along I-81. You have the Stadium Office Park, Southside Industrial area, Glenmaura Corporate Center and Rocky Glen Industrial Park. Below that in Luzerne County is the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport, Vogelbacher Industrial Park, O'Hara Industrial Complex and the Eastern Distribution center which looks like a mini-enterprise zone or mini-FTZ (if it is not, they should make one there). Being at the I-84, I-81 crossroads and having a 380 and 476 Toll-way which also serves as a ring road from the West of town, it appears to be all set up to do business. Perhaps not as ideal a location as the Bethlehem-Allen Town area (being so close to Philly, but Scranton area has it's advantages and while in recession it is certainly going to be a good recovery situation since it has a good population base and pro-active approach to the economic development.
I-80 is just a tad bit to far from the Wilkes-Barre Scranton corridor to be of significant value. The best deal for this city would be to do what Tulsa OK needs to do with the toll way to OKC. Ditch it. If the 476 were made a freeway instead of a toll way and that area were to open up then the straight shot to Philadelphia could feed the fire and Scranton would be more easily accessible to travelers and distribution companies. The I-84 is a straight shot to CT, 476 straight shot to Philly and Allentown, I-81 is a shortcut to I-80 and straight shot to Harrisburg and allows travel around the D.C. metro mess for those traveling South without the huge mountain ranges of further East, which is good for trucking and distribution.
Scranton area business people have bounded together and are hard chargers, they will not give up, but could use some help. The big talk in Scranton now is of course the incubators for small business and that is very smart and well received and has the blessings of local banks and SBA. The SEC, not to be confused with the Security Exchange Commission which is destroying America's best Corporations with media headlines and extorsion scare tactics, this SEC is the Scranton Enterprise Center which appears to be on pace to provide 1000 new jobs to the area within five years. The Jessup Park looks good and when filled up would house about, I am guessing 4500 jobs.
In Schuylkill County they are building a gasification coal plant which would be a 400 million dollar project and employ many high paid professionals and countless construction people in the building process, that is happening now. Many things are challenging PA's economy and the Scranton area. First the state's economy has been shifting from manufacturing and plants to retail and services and many jobs have left the state to NAFTA trading partners and to of course China, ouch. The regional growth patterns in my humble opinion are favoring other PA area better due to the closeness of the Metorplexes of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, D.C.. Scranton is favored as it is close to NYC and New England areas like Boston, Hartford, Manchester, New Jersy and Albany. However there is stiff competition from makers of items in all those states too, especially where rural areas are attempting to eak out an existence with antique, agriculture, small specialized manufacturing and flee markets.
PA has had declining tax revenues since the mid 70's with trade changes and the early 90's with change of focus. If you look at PA as a hole we are seeing things like steel, textiles, mills, mining and energy leave the system and the trade offs beiong promoted from the acedemia side include tech, communication and environmental, yet the money flow for such things is not like it is in Boston, TX, CA and other on the move tech fields such as the latest Bio-Tech. Where there maybe schooling for such, but not a lot of big deals getting done in PA.

Whether you’re a large, limited company falling behind on your bills, or the sole trader of a small business that hasn’t paid themselves in months, there is one common ground which they both share, business debt is dragging you down and needs to be eliminated.Every business faces financial difficulties at one point or another, no matter their size. Ignoring such difficulties and pretending they don’t exist is not going to make the situation better. A strong strategy at the beginning stages of troubling times is the absolute best plan of action.There are many options available to help you to get out of debt, differing with the extent of the difficulties. Limited companies may repay their bills via a CVA (Company Voluntary Arrangement). This is a formal agreement between the distraught company and its creditors allowing the creditors to be repaid an agreed upon amount over an agreed upon period of time. A meeting is to be held with all involved parties, and all proposals must be agreed upon by at least 75% of involved creditors. Another option for a larger company is receivership, a process in which the charge holder (usually the lender) hires a “receiver” and sends him or her out to decide on the worth of the company in disarray. A receiver has the right and ability to sell part of the company to recoup the lost value to lender by serving as agent to the company unless or until the company liquidates its assets.

There is a small, yet palpable inherent risk in accepting credit cards. Aside from chargebacks, there always exists a possibility that a given credit card is stolen or presented without any authorization to use from the card holder. Even veteran merchants, processing for decades, can recount incidents where they have sent out product, subsequently learning that they have been victimized by credit card fraud.One day, I received a phone call from one of our retail merchants who sells furniture. She explained that she received a credit card from a so-called customer that was declined. This customer then presented a different credit card with the same result: transaction declined. The owner’s intuitive feeling was that “something was not right” – the customer may simply be over-extended, surpassing his credit card limits, or simply trying to engage in an act of deception.The business owner leaned toward the perspective that the customer may be involved in shenanigans when he told her to ship the furniture to Romania (next day, no less) although the billing address was in the United States. Before she ran a third card through the credit card terminal, she called me, seeking my advice. While I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, her description of the series of events fomented a feeling of suspicion within me as well.At the time of our conversation, the customer asked for his card back and said he wanted to look down a

If you are looking to save money then look no further than electronic billing or online billing--sometimes referred to as EBPP. National averages per call received in a call center or by a customer service rep can be as much as $5.00. Reduce this by 50% and you save a significant sum of money. The question is how to reduce the number of calls flowing to your call center? The answer: short and sweet, electronic billing or online billing.National statistics show that 60% of all calls to a call center are billing related. Questions such as, "Can you send me another copy of the bill?" "Why did my bill increase?" "I didn't get my bill" can send your customer service reps over the edge; however, when you use an electronic bill or online bill solution you will save not only your customer service rep, but also you will save your customers the pain of having to call and ask. You can also use your call center personnel for other more pressing issues. Overall online billing saves you money.A recent study found, "Between now and 2010, the number of users who pay their bills electronically will grow, by 75 percent, to about 47 million households, says Forrester Research Inc., an independent research company that analyzes and forecasts technology's impact on business and consumers." With this information you are armed to take advantage of the cost savings that comes from online billing.A clarification may be in order...what is an online

Today I am joined by Richard Robbins, the Founder and CEO of Richard Robbins International . Rich has been gracious enough to take the time to give invaluable advice and knowledge to my readers, and I know that this will be a message which will inspire growth.Q: How did you get started in the field of achievement coaching?A: I started a Real Estate Company in 1988 and struggled for the first few years. I quickly discovered the key to success in the real estate brokerage business was to find salespeople with common values and be invested in helping them succeed. In other words the more I trained and coached them the more they became successful. The more successful they became, the more successful I became. Once I embraced this philosophy our company grew quickly until we had the highest production per agent of any company in our trading area.Many of the sales people that worked for me told me I had a knack for coaching and should be sharing my ideas with many more than the sales people in our office. I started thinking that if I could have such a positive impact on the 23 sales people in my office, maybe I could teach the same thing to 1000’s. It wasn’t long after that I sold my company and opened Richard Robbins International and focused all my attention on achievement coaching.Q: Why would an entrepreneur need a coach?A: I think anybody can benefit from coaching in a big way. Think about this… what we present
The rural areas of PA are secluded by toll ways and the money flow is escaping via Wal-Mart, which accounts for 11% of our nations consumer spending.

The money flowing out into China is not coming back fast enough, due to Patriot's act slowing money coming into the country and a crack down on money launderers thus the money stays out once it leaves. It is noteworthy to look at such issues such as where does the money flow too. I am worried for rural America and am upset and feel sick to my stomach every time I see a boarded up small business in a rural town. You see they slow you down to 25 mph for speed trap but at that speed you see things much deeper than the sign, which is gone. You see and feel the tears of the small business person who lost everything, the employees who are sitting at home with no air-conditioning turned on, you read the minds of the income property owner who is not getting an ROI on the building he so carefully built on his families property which they have owned for generations. Watching the awning rust, paint chip and flake, bugs scurry in and out of the broken windows. You feel the anguish and sorrow, that is all there is, that is what you see and feel as you drive by. So then here is an idea, perhaps it might lead someone out there to a solution to this problem. Here it is; Certain dollars coming into such towns of 2000 to 12,000 populations, which are not within 5 miles of a major highway, be given permission to stamp the dollar bills coming in at a local municipal court up to 15% and those bills must remain in circulation locally for three years or until they are worn out and traded in at the bank. Or some such similar situation to keep the money flow going locally. Wal-Mart can then pay the people locally with those dollars or trade them against purchases from local manufacturers of items they might sell in their stores. Or Wal-Mart could work with a local bank in the area and have banking on the property so that those dollars could be redistributed in loans to those who wish to start small businesses or homes. thus improving the economic climate all the way around. Wal-Mart wants into the banking business anyway, they have proved their self worth in the distribution business, again this is just a thought. Something has to be doen about rural America, it is more evident in the back highways of PA than anywhere. This is a serious issue and it is not going away anytime soon. It needs pro-active consideration from the most brilliant economic minds, otherwise we will need two sets of currency in our country.
PA is seeing overall from what we have seen a change in Eating establishments along major highways, changes in Grocery Stores, and changes in it's supply and distribution chains. PA is the leader in all kinds of stuff, but none of which is breaking any records during this period. In a study by the Penn State College of Ag and Econ, it was reported that 15 of the 20 major sectors of the PA economy had gone down. Today a few things are up, such as recreational manufacturing, motor homes, boats and housing. We did see things such as insurance, real estate, wholesale trade, distribution and public utilities pick-up in recent years. But if you look at what took a hit Lumber, furniture, travel, and manufacturing in rubber, steel, wood, fabrics, metal, etc. it is a little gloomy. PA has good education and that has weathered the storms. But really besides the bigger cities, things are not doing extremely well, they are just doing okay. But today Okay is good enough and the folks in PA are not stooping here. We were fortunate to talk with an employee deliverer from Dempsey Uniform Services. He said things were good, and that they had had some slow pays, but most of thier accounts were Corporate and they were doing good. Some companies had gone out of business last year, but others were adding employees, and the sales have added a few more accounts. Competition had increased, but they were doing well. We thank him for the insight and here is the pitch;
"So Give Us a Try...We Think You will be impressed"
http://www.dempseyuniform.com .
So this company a very good public image company was doing well working with B2B services. We believe that this is an example of what we would expect with hard work, over time and doing what you say you are going to do. You see in Scranton, bull crap walks. It is about doing what you say you are going to do, and a man is only as good as his word. That is what they expect there, that is what they are say in Missouri, Show me. Any company in the service business willing to prove it, will either make it or beak it on their integrity, and you know what? We would not expect anything else from the humble coal miner beginnings of a town grown into a city where you must walk the talk. Scranton they will flat do whatever it takes, it is that kind of a town still.
