If you want to create more prosperity, energy and happiness for yourself in this low-trust society, the most powerful, single step you can do is to turn trust into a great opportunity? "Smart Trust" represents the last remaining high impact intangible leverage factor/point a business owner, entrepreneur, professional or employed person could harness - to increase every facet of success, prosperity, positioning impact and collaboration.
Why? The more you trust someone, their purpose, motives, message and actions - the faster you "buy into" whatever they are offering, proposing, asking, selling, requesting, -- from motiving team members to embrace an initiative, to persuading vendors to provide preferential pricing from compelling prospects to say "yes" (through your marketing/selling) and getting them buying more things, more often -- and referring more quality people to becoming lifelong, raving fans of your business and you.
From getting people to work their hearts out for you or your cause or purpose - to getting people to love you - it ALL flows farther, faster, harder, deeper, more successfully, substantially and sustainingly from - ta-dah! - "trust." But few people grasp aALL the positive implications of commanding total trust.
Few people live a trust-based, purpose-based business or personal life. Even fewer grasp the monumental cost (in financial, emotional and achievement-based) terms that a lack of trust can inflicts --- to a business and to your entire life or career or personal relationships. It transcends mere credibility. It vaults past mere ethos.
It goes well beyond integrity.There are "clear cut" factors that create supreme trust. I'm betting you don't know what most - or any - of them are. That does NOT imply you aren't honorable in your intentions or that you don't try to do business truthfully, respectfully. It means you can't possibly maximize the success, the satisfaction, the reputation, the prosperity, the connection, the richness of interactions you have in your business and personal life.
"Nothing is more important than building trust... "Trust is the key to global reality... with customers, bosses, co-workers and subordinates is essential to business success. The ability to build trust with your spouse, children and friends is essential to personal success. The good news is that trust can be built. The better news is that trust can be rebuilt faster than most of us think. Trust is built on 1. Self trust, 2. Relationship trust, 3. Organizational trust, 4. Market trust, 5. Societal trust.
Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything, trust is the one thing that can builds or destroy every human relationship. The lack of trust will brings down the most powerful countries, bankrupt the most profitable companies, and destroy the happiest of marriages.
However, trust is the least studied and least understood element of business success. The trust formula, "When trust goes up, speed will also go up and cost will goes down." The inverse is also true. "When trust goes down, speed will goes down and costs will go up." Example. After 9/11 trust went down, speed also went down and cost went up...." Enough said?
A final thought, "Smart Trust," will - I promise - forever alter your worldview - your business fate, your every relationship with every human being you interact with directly, indirectly, individually or in any form of multiplied impact (meaning correspondence, advertising, marketing, etc.).
Words from the Founder of Build Small Business Credit Kaiim Daids: Having been an entrepreneur since the 80's and starting multiple corporations and LLCs in a variety of disciplines, he has built a strong passion to assist small business owners and entrepreneurs in starting and protecting their personal credit the right way by obtaining corporate credit.
When you're a relatively new or small company, trying to navigate the credit and lending world can feel like a vicious Catch-22. Most commercial banks and traditional lenders are reluctant to loosen their purse strings until you've proven yourself with a strong credit history. But it's difficult to develop that good record when no one will lend to you in the first place.
Creditors are going to be looking at the personal credit of the person who owns the business (or any shareholders with more than 20% ownership of the company). In today's lending environment, you should expect to be asked to sign a personal guarantee on any kind of loan or credit of the business. This isn't always mandatory, but it has recently become common practice in the lending industry.
To build corporate credit with no personal guarantee: NO you don't have to be a Fortune 500 company, NO you don't have to have millions in sales and NO you don't have to give a personal guarantee! All you need is the education and knowledge to do it, and do it right. There is one caveat, the first thing I learned is that before you go on an application spree there are very integral, yet basic steps, that must be taken to have the success with your approvals.
I went out and made the mistakes, fell on my face and now have the knowledge to duplicate it again and again with future businesses. My vision behind Build Small Business Credit is to provide the small business owners with educational materials that take the hassle out of the business credit building process and drastically reduce the learning curve.
I spent countless hours of reading and sorting through all the complications that is out there in order to be able to offer you a simple process that can be followed to obtain corporate credit. My knowledge and experience in building corporate credit is now available on my Facebook page for exclusive discounts and giveaways!
Where you will find offers current, credible and best of all FREE information. The most important thing to remember is that you can't build business credit overnight. Business owners should think about their business credit from day one. Even if you're self-funded now, you never know what challenges or growth opportunities will develop down the road. Having access to credit can only help you adapt to changing conditions and position yourself for success.

Folding and Inserting Machines
As part of your document management strategy, there are compelling reasons to deliver documents electronically, these include; low cost, speed of delivery, audit trail etc. However, if you’re an organisation that has to send large volumes of documents via post (e.g. letters to members of the public) then it may be beneficial to automate the way in which your post is fulfilled - fulfilled in this context means the folding and inserting of documents into envelopes. This is often a labour intensive process which can be prone to errors. It’s never a good idea to send the wrong invoice to the wrong customer, especially if the one company is on a larger discount!
It’s also possible to save money on your postage charges by pre-sorting post before it’s picked up by the Royal Mail.
Folding and inserting machines are available which will take a batch of documents and automatically stuff envelopes. The more advanced machines have an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) facility or the ability to read barcodes, which indicate where a batch of documents to go into an envelope start and finish. OMR codes often appear as simple lines down the side of a document. Check out the next mailer you receive in the post and more often than not you’ll see OMR marks down the edge of the document.
An OMR standard can also include some added security which prevents double feeds by the machine - often a sequential numeric count is recorded, so if this is interrupted the machine knows there has been a double feed or a document has been lost.
There are a number of benefits to using auto-folding and inserting machines with OMR facilities, these being:
• Speed up the fulfilment of post
• Free people up to concentrate on core activities
• Reduce the number of letters sent by combining more than one document for the same customer into an envelope
• Reduce human errors
• Easily add document insertions (e.g.
How do I add OMR to my documents?
This is more difficult than it sounds, as many of the documents types (e.g. invoices, statements, order acknowledgements, letters) which are posted are created by a backend business system (e.g. Sage, MS Dynamics NAV, SAP etc), which can’t easily add OMR.
This is where output management products, such as Formate software can help. Formate can intercept a print queue containing hundreds of documents, then recognise where each document starts and stops – this is important as some documents may be one page long, while others may span multiple pages. Formate then adds the relevant OMR (or barcode) to the document, incorporating any specific security requirements. Using Formate software, Document Genetics have already developed OMR output for many of the leading manufacturers (Pitney Bowes, Neopost, etc).
Reducing Postage Cost Using Mailsort
By implementing the Royal Mail’s Mailsort process an organisation can save over 30% on their postage bill. The exact saving depends on the volume of letters processed and the type of Mailsort process implemented, the greater the volume of packets the greater the likely saving.
The Royal Mail offer a Mailsort discount because you are actually pre-sorting the post before it reaches their distribution depots. There are many different types of Mailsort available. For example, Mailsort 1400 entails sorting your mailing into approximately 1,400 selections based on UK Delivery Offices. Mailsort 1400 allows mailers to send both letters and packets, and does not generally involve any machine sorting.
Formate and Mailsort
Formate can pre-sort your print run into the appropriate order for dispatch to the UK Royal Mail, in order to qualify for various discounts. Supported sort types include Mailsort 1400, 700 and 120, plus Presstream and Walksort. Various printed reports can be produced, including bag labels, and the whole process can be configured to suit your needs.
