Anish, what do you do exactly?
As I mentioned before, this is a common question about my company Huckleberry Resources. The answer is quite simple: I help business owners with areas of their business that they either don't have time or don't have the expertise to develop. I have helped people with:  - Websites
- Logo design
- Direct mail campaigns
- Social media marketing
- Search engine optimization
- Business names
- Business plans
-
Proforma financial statements
My experience over the last 20 years has given me a wide range of skills and the BA in Business doesn't hurt either! Referrals are the key to any small business and part of my sales force! Thank you everyone for your confidence!

Top 6 Things I Have Learne d in the Last 6 Months
1. Carefully and thoughtfully manage your schedule. You cannot pack
a schedule full of appointments and then still get your work done. On
the flip side, you cannot pack your schedule to only get work done, you
must keep the momentum going and take new client, follow up and
networking appointments. Balance Grasshopper. I now only schedule a
couple of days with appointments, the rest is for "work".
2. Never
count on a sure thing. Until you have the check in hand, its not
something you can count on. But don't be afraid to ask for it!
3. Your
customer will always have a different opinion or perception than you.Right or wrong, sometimes you will not agree with the choices your
client makes.
4. Park the pride (see #3). You will need to do
this in order to save your sanity and sometimes save the client.
Remember, in the grand scheme of things - is this really that big of a deal? It does
typically matter but really think about how it matters? By putting it
into perspective, can you save or enhance a client relationship by just
doing this one thing?
5. Social media and on-line marketing is
here, get on the band wagon because traditional marketing is just not
enough.
6. People like to help you. Your friends, family and people
you don't even know want to help and spread the word about you. Take
advantage of that (without abusing it).
If you would like
more detail on how I dealt with these hurdles, let me know. |
