Additionaly, fundraising for any gaming book products business venture can be a daunting task. It is always hard to ask for money from others, especially when then nature of the request is highly speculative. Quin Galbavy, a highly successful gaming book products capital management consultant, believes that planning is the key to selling your idea: “If you walk up to someone and say, ‘I’ve got a great gaming book products business idea, would you contribute $100K’, they’ll probably laugh and consider you a lunatic…but, if you approach someone and say ‘Look, I have this great idea, and my plan is the following…’, it will reassure an anxious investor that things will move forward with thought and purpose.” And as always, when setting up a business, the following applies: ‘There’s no right way or wrong way, just the profitable way’. Once you’ve found out how to get your gaming book products firm off the ground and it is generating ROI, you’ve won half the battle and are on your way to continued success. Huggett Dubinsky, Human Services director of the Missey Cushing and Partners gaming book products firm, states that the working dynamic and human capital of your company should not be ignored. Brittanie Chuba agrees: “I’ve seen companies with nearly everything - perfect budget, great IT, good distribution - but a terrible working dynamic between the employees. Though the gaming book products product makes it to store shelves, the people working within the company feel miserable, unappreciated, and unmotivated.” “In the case of our gaming book products marketing venture, we initially started out with a simple website, and then slowly grew as sales increased,” replies Brzezinski Miltner, the COO of the Armanda Tennill Co-Op, “Then, the website expanded into a data warehouse - essentially a store of all things related to our marketing campaigns - which allowed us to study and refine subsequent efforts.” “Starting up any gaming book products business is difficult. In our case, it took about 6 months of planning, a year of fund raising, and then another 6 months of building infrastructure before we made our first sale,” states Marion Gerling of the Ursula Dinapoli Partners and Ltd. Company. Without a doubt, planning for the launch of your gaming book products firm is crucial. Think of it as the launch sequence of a space shuttle. Every last detail, figure, and step is checked and double checked. This is the only way to succeed in the gaming book products industry and get the competitive edge. “Don’t forget about accounting,” warns Weisel Baraban, CFO of the Pavlick Hambrecht Corporation INC, “Many gaming book products companies go pel mel spending money when there is a good cash flow. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to expand, it has to be done in accordance with accounting standards and detailed record keeping. This is especially true for public companies. Private gaming book products firms can sometimes let this aspect of the business slide alittle.” Secondly, once the business side of a prospective gaming book products venture is planned, map out the human element. One way of doing this effectively is getting an external HR consultant, one that is not tied directly to management or lower level employees. This allows for impartial scrutiny of your gaming book products business model and ensures that the right people are doing the right jobs. Once investment is secured for a gaming book products venture, and proper planning has been realized, start networking within your industry. “I find that attending industry related social functions, conferences, and even my neighbors’ cocktail parties help me find new ways of growing my company,” claims Devin Mcgee, director of the Ronna Lipphardt Brothers firm, “By asking the right people the right questions, you’ll find that you can learn new things and different strategies for your gaming book products firm that you may not have thought of before.”
