<p>Social Networking is the buzz and people are using more and more of it to reap the benefits of their networks and promote business.</p>
<p>This trend though more visible today.. but most companies had been using it knowingly/unknowingly for a long time..recession and downturn has just emphasised it further and made it more visible.</p>
<p>SMART AIMS has always nurtured relationships and to take this further we are now working on a model of &#8220;Join as a Friend&#8221;.</p>
<p>A simple business model whereby any business/lead that you generate and provide us with i.e. it results in work/revenue for us.. <strong>we share  with you</strong> a fixed percentage of the project cost as business consultancy fee payable to you.</p>

<p>Feel free to review our website (<a href="http://www.smartaims.com">www.smartaims.com</a>) and let us know if you have a prospect/lead that could result in business for us. .we will follow it up and on succesful business closure, the consultancy charges are for your taking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.smartaims.com">SMART AIMS</a> is working on various business models to expand its presence and portfolio of clients and projects.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">Some of the business models that we are currently working on are as follows:</span></div>
<div> <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><br />
a) Traditional models of Web Business:<span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"></p>
<div>Fixed Project Cost: Most clients would like to know upfront their investment to build a website or a portal, and this is the standard business model they would like to subscribe to.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They have a requirement documentation or brief and would like us to quote on a fixed project fee basis alongwith time and deliverables. This is a trusted way to begin with but as requirements get bigger and your vendor more trusted, the need to look for better and cost-optimizing business models becomes a necessity, and that&#8217;s the reason we at SMART AIMS innovate and find ways to help our clients, save in terms of cost yet get the best of resources work on their projects.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Other traditional business models like charging on an hourly (periodic) basis with a record of what is done, is a fall out of the Fixed Project Cost business model.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>b) Dedicated Resources</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For companies and clients who have work throughout the day and/across the month, we have an option that not only helps them reap the benefits of outsourcing (getting people at affordable and low cost) but also use them as their own resource.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The resources report directly to you and are available online during our working hours (or if you would like to your working hours) and they are just your &#8220;bench&#8221; with us in India.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This models is very well accepted due to the fact that it reduces the cost of recruitment by the prospect to about 60% and gives you the same level of control that you would have with your own resource at your own setup. Additionally, we monitor for you and assure that the work is done as promised or mutually agreed.. at no extra cost. You have a line of hierarchy to look up to if you have any issues or need resolution.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We ramp up the people for you, and your work just goes on uninterrupted without the daily administrative hassles.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, your commitment to SMART AIMS is contract bound and expanding or contracting resources for the job are our KRA.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>c) Partner Marketing : (Partner with client)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A simple yet very effective model whereby our client not only sends their own work to us, but also does some selling for us. In return we offer them attractive deals with better pricing for their own projects as well as rewards in the form of commissions on the business we generate from their lead.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The client earns from us through the lifetime of the lead that he generates, and more so he may not even track the business that his lead has given us.. its our responsibility and we execute it honestly.</div>
<div>We are constantly working and would like to expand to more geographies, increase our portfolio and would love to have more and more people join us in this endeavor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our strength is in our flexibility to work, and if you feel there is anything that we could help you with, just email us at: <a href="mailto:info@smartaims.com">info@smartaims.com</a> and we will be glad to assist.</div>
