One of the major issues that small travel operators face is the payment process. Payment software and gateways are usually very expensive and complex to use. With a new payment software that is designed specifically for these smaller companies, they get a chance to compete online with the mega travel companies. This is what can shift the whole dynamic in the travel industry forever, similarly to when Airbnb allowed independent homeowners become mini hotels around the globe.

Having a website is just the first step in making money with your website. Once you have a steady stream of daily traffic to your website, your next focus should be finding ways to turn visitors into profit. What good is web traffic if visitors aren’t making a purchase or reaching out to your company? While monetizing a website takes some time and effort, you’ll be one step closer to long-term success when your website starts to bring in cash flow.

To most recruiters and job seekers, it is still unclear what the difference between a job board and recruitment CRM is. Is it just the technology that has been used or there is more to it? In India, people are used to searching for jobs using popular job portals like Naukri.com, FreshersWorld, etc. Some job boards are offering paid services, others are free but in both cases the success rate is unclear.

In 2011, Josh Kopelman of First Round Capital came up with what, at the time, was what I thought was the best email vacation auto-responder in the history of email. Now, I have no idea if Josh invented this, but I’m going to give him credit for it.

Making a big sale is exciting, especially for a new business. But getting paid late, spending time and money chasing overdue accounts, or worse yet, not getting paid at all, can destroy a business. If you sell B2B, chances are your customers are going to demand payment terms. So before you start selling, it is essential to establish clearly defined credit policies that follow good credit management practices.
