Background check Entrepeneur


An entrepreneur is an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative. Entrepreneur in English is a term applied to a person who is willing to help launch a new venture or enterprise and accept full responsibility for the outcome.
Profession Entrepreneurs become what they are for several reasons. Many, depending on the person, choose to do so to avoid workplace drama, discrimination, being taken advantage of, or just to be their own boss. Another reason people become entrepreneurs is to avoid unemployment and attain job security. When an individual cannot find work, he or she may see starting a business enterprise as a suitable alternative and a good way to ensure he or she is never fired.

Het aantal uitgesproken faillissementen in Nederland is dit jaar met ruim 8 procent gestegen tot 10.228. Daarnaast hebben ruim 15.000 particulieren en bedrijven gebruik gemaakt van schuldsanering. Dat is een toename van 4 procent ten opzichte van 2004. Deze cijfers zijn dinsdag gepubliceerd door onderzoeksbureau Graydon, gespecialiseerd in bedrijfs- en kredietinformatie. Volgens Graydon is het het zesde achtereenvolgende jaar op rij dat het aantal faillissementen toeneemt. De faillissementsonderzoeker spreekt van "een historisch dieptepunt" en heeft de schade berekend op 3,7 miljard euro en het aantal verloren gegane arbeidsplaatsen op 65.000. Vooral zeer kleine bedrijven worden getroffen. Van het aantal failliet gegane bedrijven is bijna de helft een eenmanszaak en kent 80 procent een omvang van hooguit vier personeelsleden. Het gaat dan ook veelal om beginnende ondernemers. "Gelet op de enorme toename van starters zal ook in 2006 een stijging mogen worden verwacht", aldus Graydon. Volgens het bureau maakt het niet veel uit of de economie groeit. "Onderzoek toont aan dat het vooral te maken heeft met een te snelle start en andere ondernemersfouten." Graydon verwacht dat 2006 zal worden afgesloten met 5 procent meer faillissementen die in totaal een schadepost van 4 miljard euro veroorzaken.

Sales
Technical sales
Sales and consultancy The purpose of the job is to help potential customers understand, compare, and contrast the solutions that are available for buying (the pre-sales role); to troubleshoot problems with their implementationsthat is, to help ensure that the solutions work successfully once the buying decision has been made (the post-sales role); and to maximize sales for the sales engineer's employer by providing such help to the customers (the aspect of the job that puts the "sales" in the title sales engineer). It is understood in the market that the latter purpose inherently involves competition of interest (COI), because it is always possible that the ideal solutions and troubleshooting could involve recommending a competitor's products or services, yet the sales engineer is under pressure not to steer the customer in that direction. Thus, customers weigh the advice of sales engineers with a predisposition of "caveat emptor". Nevertheless, sales engineers do usually provide real value to customers, which is why the relationship endures despite the perennial taking of a "grain of salt".
