I imagine it would be helpful if you look for a job with any business who works on an international level.  It might also help if you were looking to go work for a company in another country.  Pretty much anything that operates on an international level, across countries, is going to have some sort of business aspect, and an international business degree would look good for those sorts of positions.

There are a number of awesome business plan books at your local library that will help you with the form (and samples) that will help you fill in the details. The problem with what benefits to provide to employees is that each has its cost which might not be approved by Management. Since I dont know what you have now, it's hard to suggest what better would be. Ask the employees what they'd like to see? Personally I would love an employer to offer a match on a 401K plan, tuition reimbursement, disability insurance, and discount buying plans. In regards to training, send the retail staff out in the field with installers (and get those installers into the office) so each can see what it's like on the other side. Any kind of trade publications and/or video training seminars would be great but don't make it so employees have to do it on their own time. Take time with the employees so they get a better overview not only of their jobs but of the company. Now how to increase sales??? Definately get a referral program going for customers to have reason to spread the word about your company to others. Word of mouth is the cheapest possible form of advertising and most effective. Don't forget to "tip" customers that refer others to you. If you dont have a website, get one and advertise it every where you can. Also, find other businesses that you can cross-refer to your clients and for them to refer to theirs. You dont want to work with competition but if you sell tile but not carpet, pair up with those who sell carpet but not tile. You get the point. There are lots of low cost ways to advertise your business. Check out the book (I found at library) called "Marketing without Money" by Nicholas E Bade. There are 300 tips on how to get your company name out there... surely a few will work for you. Does any of this help???

You could possibly make more money if you start your own business, provided that you are able to: a) cover your current living expenses; b) cover yourself with a reasonable set of benefits (i.e. medical, retirement); and c) cover your tax/medicare requirements, all of which are usually higher since a typical employer will cover a portion of these for the employee.\n\nYou may wish to augment being just a technician with perhaps also providing "turn key" computer systems at competitive prices.  By getting a business license in your city/state (which is usually affordable), you get the advantage of a) having certain tax write-offs for money that is put into your business (such as buying books, tools or paying for travel); and b) you get to buy items at wholesale prices (even better deals in bulk) that can help keep your prices competitive.\n\nYou will need to do a bit of research in order to determine how your pricing structure will match your expensives; possibly by playing some "what if" games with the numbers.

It would help if you define what you mean by 'supplemental wages'. It sounds to me as though that's a term used outside the US

My first question would be do you have any business experience. I ask because just to say I want to run a business is one thing and to actually do it is something else.\n\nSo I you do have the business experience and savvy and a couple of thousands to invest then check out and research the various types of franchises out there and see which one suits you. Entrepreneur magazine and others of this type should lead you in the right direction.\n\nIf you do not have "running a business" experience then let me recommend what a lot experts have been saying. Get into Network Marketing. The reasons being are:\n\n1- The Training - The good companies work with organization who will help you develop you knowledge in all aspects of your business and you before the product or service. This means time and energy will be invested on developing you and a person and business-owner vs pushing you to move products.  Not to say that you shouldn't be moving products, that's why you're in business. \n\n2- Developing a Network - In order to have a strong and prosperous business you need repeat business. These organizations of  business owners will help you in the developing strong networks so that your business keeps moving forward.\n\n3- Global Opportunities - No more do you have to limit your self to just you neighborhood  with the advent of the Internet you now have access to a global marketplace. The larger companies and organizations can help you in expanding you business into the international arena if the opportunity arises for you.\n\n4- Low Risk - Most companies have a low start-up investment\nwhich means that you can work it on a part-time level until you are making enough to go full-time. So you don't have to quit your job or quit school. Also the highly reputable ones have a money-back guarantee.\n\nPoints -\n1- You may of heard for people failing to succeed in this type of business most of it is attributed to  some people fail to treat it like a business. \n\n2-A business is a business and you won't get anything out of it if you don't put anything in it.\n\n3- As a very wealthy man once told me "Check the fruit on the tree". Be careful of who you take advice from, check the fruit on their tree. Are they where you want to be or are they even going in that direction. \n\n\nSo keep up in doing your research and the best is yet to come.\n\n\nMy recommendation is Quixtar. They're a 6-billion dollar company. I've dealt with some of the people before. Lovely people. What I like is that they have a wide variety of products and services to offer so a person is not limited to just one or two things. Also they also seem to be on the cutting edge of product technology. Let them help you get in contact with someone in your area who can help you.
