3 Letter from chairman of the board, THCC Letter from the president, THCC Dear THCC members and readers, Dear THCC members and friends, German Castano THCC, Chairman German Castano is the Chairman of the Board of THCC in Toronto. Contact him at his address or visit Hispanic Business Awards, 2009 After three years serving the community through the Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and after getting involved in mining projects in Colombia, I requested the board of directors to find my replacement as President of this organization that I love. When we, the volunteers of the THCC (Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce), envision that this organization will become the bridge for everyone to use to reach the group of Hispanic Businesses in Toronto, we mean it. In the last three years, we have become an important presence at the Toronto business and Canadian political level: We organized and participated in more than 30 public events, where we were always wellrepresented by the presence of business men and women from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. As representatives of the Hispanic Business community, we were invited to several meetings to hear and contribute on matters related to Free Trade between Canada and Latin America, immigration and national security. The THCC has grown steadily since 2003 and we have now established our presence by creating regular and successful events such as: The Hispanic Business Awards, which is now an annual event in the city of Toronto The very successful monthly wine and cheese event I had the honor to represent the THCC and its members, not only In Toronto but also at events in Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa. Internationally, we have made our presence known in the USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Venezuela. I am very pleased to see how the new President, Mr. Diego Casco, jumped into action with a plan targeting the increase of membership of the THCC by offering a value package that benefits all Hispanic Business in Toronto. I am happy to continue serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors, a less time demanding role that will allow me to maintain my liaison with the THCC, and to contribute to the development of this young organization.

4 Business marketing On Social Media If you don t get into it, you can either retire, or die. BY Idalia Obregon Marketing to Hispanics 5 Cultural Misconceptions by Sergio Medrano While attending a conference on innovation in the Digital Kingdom of California, USA, I became a bit more familiar with and more inclined to stop resisting social media as I did in the past. As they say there, If you don t get into it, you can either retire, or die : Although these words may be overstating matters a bit, this is almost the reality that we now live in. But what if I m not the type of person who likes to share all the things I like, or I do, or I think, or I will think hmm do I have to retire? Or die? Really? You hear it everywhere: You have to get into it, this is how business is driven now, mainstream marketing doesn t work anymore, etc., but if you are like me, running a service business on topics that are not necessarily hot, working with older people that sometimes don t even want to use . I feel like How the heck am I going to use social media for my business? Ah! Perhaps the best thing I learned in this conference is that you can define Social Networking as a referral group of people that you have at your hand s reach, that you can trust, it is word of mouth, you can rely on them in getting info, advice, good deals, etc. Okay, I can get how this can be easily applied to consumers, to productbased companies but not my line of business. You may also have a social network in your job, which helps in larger corporations where management may need to know what their employees want, like, or are interested in. Social networking is also very applicable for service companies, either big or small (like mine!), because it is a great way to make recommendations about a service, or explain an opportunity. Press releases are less effective now, seldom trusted, as it is only publicity made by and for a company. You cannot implicitly trust them, but you can trust in your social network. It was very interesting how this conference specified the creation of a new era with a digital class ; meaning it will not only be the rich, the poor, or the elites, but a digital class, that will influence us to adapt to their standards. If we re in the business of targeting those people, then we have to adapt. Yes, there is still a significant group of people who are not too keen in those technologies, but according to the speakers of this conference, they ll have to adapt too, it s the way of the future. Also in the arena of social networks is the booming industry of video games, where one level is free (freemium), banking on that 10-15% of people who will upgrade. That s where the money is. Facebook s best clients are women between years old, and the game Farmville is the most successful among them. Games in social networks are the new soap operas of today, so don t worry, you will find Betty La Fea in your wall. It is also interesting that social networks have seduced investors (both public and private) to the point that they don t even want to look at the rest of the menu, the focus is cash efficiency with the rule of getting 10 times your money in 5 years. Investors are only interested in companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, etc, again the digital sector. This is why a few months ago 5 guys in their early 20 s sold a video game for $500 million to the largest video game company in the world. This attitude is a great reversal of the burn rate mentality of the early dot coms. We ve seen only the tip of the iceberg, but be careful as social networks recommendation may be deceiving... this is why you have to check their klout score (their measure of influence across the social web) Ah feeling overwhelmed already? I hear you, but still invite you to try this addictive and interesting game of social media. Hey, the worst that can happen is that you like it! Enjoy! Idalia Obregon THCC, Vice Chair Idalia Obregon is the President and Founder of Exito Trade Consulting, an international management consulting and marketing firm. Knowing your audience will improve your marketing strategies. Marketing to Hispanics means that you are selling to people who speak Spanish, right? Yes and No. There are over 440 million people in the worldwide Hispanic market, but let s assume you are starting by marketing to Hispanics in Canada and the United States only. Before you start selling to Hispanics make sure you know who they are. I work in Real Estate and in sales we learn as much as possible about our prospects before trying to get their business. I guarantee that a little culture goes a long way. I recommend showing respect for your prospects by getting your terminology correct. Nobody likes when others misunderstand their world. Understanding the following cultural misconceptions will help you be light years ahead of the average North American marketer. Everyone makes mistakes when it comes to the small things, but any effort will pay off. 1 ALL HISPANICS SPEAK SPANISH Hispanic refers to individuals who trace their origins to Spanish speaking countries, and originally Spain. Yes, it is possible for a Hispanic person to speak only English or French. Saying someone is Hispanic is much like saying that someone is Irish, German, or Italian. However, this cultural group is racially diverse, as it includes people from all Spanish-speaking countries. Don t get confused with race. Hispanics come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. 2 LATINO IS THE SAME AS HISPANIC Latino typically means someone with cultural ties to Latin America and does not refer to language. By definition, Latino includes people from countries that were once under Roman rule. Copyright All rights reserved by Patrick Huber The common use of Latino includes people from Latin America, including non-spanish speaking countries like Brazil and Haiti. The term Latino is positive and widely used. Latino: When referring to mixed gender groups and men. Latina: When referring to women. 3 SPANISH-SPEAKING MEANS SPANISH Just because someone speaks Spanish don t assume that they are from Spain. Hispanics trace their cultural roots back to Spain but Hispanic Latin Americans have their own culture and nuance of language. In fact, the Spanish spoken throughout the world varies just like any other language. Remember that Spain makes up less than 10% of the worldwide Hispanic market. It s much more likely that the Hispanics you encounter will NOT be from Spain (unless you are in Europe, of course). 4 AMERICA MEANS THE UNITED STATES America is the lands of the Western hemisphere, comprising the continents of North America and South America with their associated islands and regions. It is common for people to say America when they mean United States. America refers to a continent, not a specific country. I m not trying to debate this, and I know many people call the USA America, but if you are trying to make international friends, stop calling the USA America. Instead, say United States. 5 ALL HISPANICS ARE POOR As a demographic group in North America, it s true that Hispanics have lower median income levels. On a worldwide scale, Spanishspeaking countries combined have about one quarter of the GDP of the developed world. Lower income and GDP does not mean that all Hispanics are poor. Just like in any other culture, there are poor, rich, and middle class Hispanics. Our world is full of brilliant, well educated, and affluent Hispanics. Hispanic Latin America has wealthy regions and booming business to rival anything I have seen in the developed world. Don t assume all Hispanics are poor. MARKETING TO HISPANICS: KEEP LEARNING To start marketing to Hispanics you don t need to be an expert. You should make an effort to learn about their language and culture, as these are essential to build relationships and close sales.

Bulwik, quien domina el castellano, el francés y el inglés, participa en foros académicos y profesionales internacionales y escribe para distintos medios impresos. Con uno de los sistemas bancarios más sólidos del mundo, Toronto es la capital financiera de Canadá, en donde se encuentran las sedes de los cinco bancos canadienses más importantes y las del 90% de los bancos extranjeros con operaciones en el país. Toronto es una de las puertas de entrada más importante al mercado de América del Norte con acceso a los $15 trillones del mercado de NAFTA ( North America Free Trade Agreement ), con vuelos directos a la mayoría de las grandes ciudades del mundo y horarios de negocios que se superponen con Europa y la costa oeste de América del Norte. Su ubicación privilegiada en el corazón de una región de 5.4 millones de habitantes da acceso a un mercado de 180 millones de personas en un sólo día por ruta y a los centros urbanos importantes como New York, Filadelfia, Washington, Chicago y Boston en una hora de vuelo. Toronto es una ciudad/región en donde las oportunidades para realizar negocios son ilimitadas debido a su carácter de ciudad internacional, adonde llegan y se establecen casi la mitad del cuarto de millón de inmigrantes que llegan a Canadá todos los años, de todas partes del mundo. El 30% de los habitantes de habla hispana y el 28% de los 300,000 de habla portuguesa en Canadá, viven en la región de Toronto. Este proceso migratorio sumado a la política federal sobre el multiculturalismo hace que Toronto se haya transformado en una de las ciudades más diversas del mundo, en donde se hablan más de 100 idiomas y en donde la mitad de su población nació en otro lugar. La diversidad tanto étnica como económica de Toronto facilita el florecimiento y crecimiento de negocios, ya que tanto sus residentes como sus empresas tienen conexiones con todas partes del mundo y hablan su idioma. Esta exposición a otras culturas, maneras de pensar, y de hacer negocios, hace que los Torontonianos estén abiertos a nuevas ideas y costumbres. Desde el punto de vista económico, Toronto posee una de las economías más diversificadas que ninguna otra ciudadregión en América del Norte. Sólo se compara con Chicago y Boston. Esta característica otorga a Toronto una ventaja significativa y una gran protección contra los bajones y sacudidas del mercado. Entre los sectores económicos establecidos en Toronto se encuentran: Servicios Financieros y Profesionales, Sector Médico, Biotecnología y Farmacéutico, Tecnología de la Información y Comunicaciones, Cine y Televisión, Turismo y Hospitalidad, Alimentación, Moda, Diseño y Tecnología Verde. Estas son las condiciones que hace que Toronto ofrezca el clima propicio para el crecimiento de la actividad comercial, para la inversión y para el desarrollo de nuevos negocios. Prueba de esto son las 180,000 empresas establecidas en la región de Toronto, de las cuales ubicadas dentro del perímetro de la municipalidad de Toronto. Toronto está reconocida globalmente como uno de los centros más importantes para la realización de convenciones y eventos culturales y deportivos de gran magnitud, gracias a su capacidad de albergar un gran número de personas y a la hospitalidad de su gente. Entre los eventos internacionales que eligieron a Toronto como ciudad anfitriona, se encuentran los Juegos Panamericanos del 2015, un evento que traerá a miles de atletas y visitantes de todas partes. Si bien faltan cuatro años, los preparativos ya están en marcha y las oportunidades de hacer negocios en áreas como infraestructura, turismo, telecomunicaciones, por ejemplo, ya empiezan a vislumbrarse. Además, hay otros sectores económicos que podrían beneficiarse de los Juegos Panamericanos del 2015, tales como: innovaciones tecnológicas ya sea en el área de las comunicaciones, informática ó energía renovable; diseño industrial; 8 canadian hispanic business magazine summer 2011

6 Business aplicaciones de software ; innovaciones en ingeniería, como por ejemplo el desarrollo y uso de nuevos materiales para instalaciones y edificios deportivos; transporte de bienes y personas; tecnologías de tratamiento de aguas residuales, desechos sólidos; calefacción, aire acondicionado; gerencia de instalaciones deportivas y otros sectores como por ejemplo la enseñanza de idiomas, en particular el castellano y el portugués. Más específicamente, entre las actividades u ocupaciones relacionadas con el tema de los deportes (listadas sin orden en particular) que pudieran beneficiarse de mega eventos deportivos como los Juegos Panamericanos se encuentran: nutrición, producción de alimentos funcionales, vitaminas u otros productos para la alimentación de atletas, podiatras, educación física, consejero de rehabilitación, fisioterapista, kinesiólogo, artista gráfico, imprenta, manufactura y/o producción de herramientas e instrumentos, productor de medios de difusión, diseño de modas, textiles, diseño industrial, estadístico e investigador de archivos, diseñador de carteles y anuncios en la vía pública, perito en contabilidad, periodista y/o comentarista deportivo, escritor, técnico de sonidos, gestor de equipos deportivos, vendedor de mercancías, médico especialista en medicina deportiva, editor, fotógrafo, abogado corporativo o con otra especialidad relativa a los deportes internacionales, incluido inmigración, asistente legal, relaciones públicas e internacionales, prensa y publicidad, investigadores de tecnologías nuevas, entre otros. Además, deportes como los náuticos o polo, por ejemplo, ofrecen un sinfín de oportunidades para negocios desde la producción y mantenimiento de equipos y vehículos a innovaciones en la industria agropecuaria y producción y cuidado de equinos. En general, empresas ó individuos dedicados a éstas u otras especialidades relacionadas con mega eventos obtendrán el mayor beneficio si se planifican con tiempo como para madurar una idea innovadora que les permita tener éxito en un mercado muy competitivo. Dada la posición de Toronto dentro del contexto de globalización de las actividades económicas, es muy factible que los negocios que tengan un mejor futuro sean aquellos que contribuyan al desarrollo de la economía basada en el conocimiento, conocida en inglés como the knowledge economy. En otras palabras, se trata de una economía que requiere mano de obra altamente calificada en aspectos tecnológicos y científicos. El avance tecnológico de los últimos años ha sido exponencial, sobre todo si uno piensa que solo hace 10 años Google no existía y que no se hacían compras por internet. Estos cambios hacen que los métodos tradicionales de producción, distribución e intercambio de productos y servicios deban ser reemplazados por métodos más efectivos y actuales. Lo cual significa que tanto las empresas existentes como aquéllas por crearse deben tener en cuenta en sus planes la continua actualización de sus equipos e instalaciones como así también la continua actualización de su modalidad operativa con respecto a la realización de sus negocios, incluyendo la capacitación y actualización constante de su personal. La municipalidad de Toronto cuenta con uno de los departamentos más completos de servicios de desarrollo económico que se ofrecen en forma libre y gratuita a toda empresa ya sea pequeña o grande. Estos incluyen servicios de desarrollo sectorial, co-participación en programas con organismos públicos y privados ya sean sectoriales ó laborales, investigación económica, gerencia para la industria cinematográfica, servicios especiales para empresas pequeñas, incubación de empresas y servicios de retención y expansión de empresas, entre otros.

9 Business A Succesful Immigrant To achieve a better Canadian experience. by Luis Araque The new board of directors of the Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce invites you to join. Joining the THCC will provide you with exclusive benefits that will help your business grow. Canada is a beautiful country with many opportunities for everyone. In order to achieve ones goals, it is essential to have a strategy and to take the right steps. This will help avoid major frustrations and the wasting of precious time. Many immigrants that come to Canada with credentials and education from abroad face a surprising reality. Before coming here, they were certain that their background and experience were going to be sufficient for finding decent employment that would give them a fresh start and a new and better life. However, once they realize that most Canadian companies don t recognize their international studies and experience, they become very disappointed. The first line of this article would make no sense to them. that will give you the chance to establish a reputation and develop references for potential job openings. It will also help you to expand your network of contacts. 3. It is vital for everyone in Canada to be confident and have a sales person character.

These provide funds to pay the bills, but ultimately don t offer good Canadian experience to obtain better employment opportunities in the future. Canada needs qualified people in different fields. However, the government cannot force companies to hire new immigrants. In light of this fact, it is essential for immigrants to quickly adapt and follow a strategy that will allow them to become successful in Canada. This adaptation process may consist of the following components: 1. Get to know the labour market and find out if your desired field requires a specific skill set. If so, you may have to obtain a Canadian certification or diploma*. 2. If you choose to study, develop a list of companies where you would like to work. This will enable you to seek volunteer opportunities to obtain Canadian Experience while you attend school.

Every five years our association surveys its members to learn more about their professional life in Canada. In 2005, our survey had 218 respondents. During 2010, the same questions were used to evaluate the progress these professionals had made after 5 years. The results of this survey were presented to their members during an event sponsored by Scotia Bank. Here are some of the highlights of the 2010 survey: 36% of the respondents have 2 to 5 years living in Canada 33% of the respondents have 5 to 10 years living in Canada 42% graduated from a post-graduate degree in Canada and 18% are currently studying 48% have a Master Degree and 6% have a Doctorate 91% of the respondents living more than 10 years own a property in Canada 20% work in Technology, 15% work in Engineering and 10% in Marketing Average incomes of the respondents are: 21% earn between: $50k to $70K, 21% earn between: $70K to $90K and 22% earn between: $90K to $120K. In conclusion: After 3 to 5 years, students graduated from Tec de Monterrey have a stable life in Canada. Most of these Hispanics chose to continue studying in Canada or gain a certification in their profession. Some of the most common challenges are: To find the first job, being away from their families, not having Canadian experience, the weather, making new friends, culture shock and language. Tecnológico de Monterrey is known for many things, including: Becoming the first distance-learning university in Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world, for having one of the top graduate business schools in the region, and for being one of the leaders in patent applications among Mexican universities. In Canada, Tecnológico de Monterrey has academic joint ventures with the University of British Columbia (UBC), Certified General Accountants Association of Canada, York University and others. EXATEC Ontario is represented by Miguel Lopez and Lorena Martinez.

11 business Group Benefits for Small Business by MONICA LINARES Photo by StefanG81 Group benefits are essential to businesses. Group insurance is an arrangement to share the financial risk of health-related expenses among a group of people who pay into a fund or pool under one contract. With a group benefits plan, when a member of the group becomes ill or needs services, he or she is financially compensated by the plan, according to the terms of the contract. As the owner of a small business, with three employees or more, you can provide a group benefits package that could make a big difference to you and your employees, without breaking your budget. Group Insurance can offer a range of services and solutions to give you financial peace of mind and security. WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME? By investing in group benefits for you and your employees: You can better attract and retain good people, which helps minimize costs associated with high turnover You and your plan members have access to insurance at a reduced cost, compared to most individual insurance plans You help improve morale and increase productivity, by providing financial security and support for your plan members Employers are able to deduct their employee benefit contributions as a business expense while their employees receive these same benefits either tax-free or tax-deferred. If the same, or similar benefits were purchased by a former employee privately, this individual would have to pay with his or her after tax dollars, leaving fewer dollars in the pocket of the affected former employee. Employers are able to buy employee benefits at a reduced cost from insurance companies, because the cost of administration and risk of loss/cost of paid out benefit for these providers is spread out over a number of employees who form the group. Lastly and of crucial importance, the vast majority of employee group benefit plans do not discriminate whether someone is healthy or not and/or whether someone is a smoker or not. For example, smokers will pay substantially more for individual insurance coverage than if they were a part of group coverage. And for former employees who have health issues, there is the very real prospect that they will not qualify individually and will be denied coverage altogether. Retention, low cost, increased productivity, tax deduction, inclusiveness! These are great reasons to consider getting Group Benefits for your business.
