The intent of WiseBookGroups is to confirm its support of the BookWise mission and to offers encouragement, advice and help for the new Independent Representative (IR). Our first order of business is to help each new IR sharpen its focus. BookWise, with its great staff and resources, have a broad focus to provide services, products, support, and training for many IR’s. However, to be successful, each new IR, with its limited time, talent, and resources needs to restrict its focus, otherwise it becomes like the man who in his enthusiasm jumped on a horse and tried to ride off in all directions at once. Some may see BookWise as simply an opportunity to get rich quick. Our belief is that identifying and meeting a need and fulfilling that need with courtesy and commitment to continuous improvement will lead to personal satisfaction and fulfillment as well as financial success. WiseBookGroups will help you define your RoadMap for Success. This roadmap consists of statements and information about your target audience, your vision, mission, values, strategies, goals, tasks, and schedule; it shows how you plan to address needs of your target audience; your personal roadmap will really help you as new IR to focus and to increase the likelihood of your success. Your target audience represents your customers, who you hope to do business with; your vision for the future provides direction and helps you continue when the going gets tough; your mission statement defines what you are doing; the values and ethical expectations that shape your actions; your strategies for zeroing in on key success approaches; and your goals, tasks, schedule, budget, net worth, and cash flow analysis spreadsheets to guide your daily, weekly, and monthly actions. Success with your own IR on-line bookstore depends on how well you define and live by each of these important concepts and learn to use the tools. Don’t worry, we will be there to offer assistance along the way.
