We want to make your life easier and less stressful so we will now add a handy tip in each issue to make that happen.

 

Take a Message

When attending a business meeting or other networking event be sure to make notes on the business cards you gather. A simple reminder will help you with your follow-up and help you build strong relationships.

Do you really know your customers?   

The best way to find out who they are and

what they want is to ask them.

It's OK to Ask

       Ever since we were young children we have not wanted to ask for help.  Back then, we were trying to prove how big we were.  What is our excuse today? Many of us are probably still hiding behind what we want our image to be; rather than reality.  This altered reality is holding us back.

       You and your business will definitely benefit for hiring the help of Consultants.  You wouldn't settle for less than the best surgeon for your operation or just anyone to fix your car; why wouldn't you hire a website developer, business or marketing consultant, or an accountant.  These are specially trained people who can complete your project in less time and at a lower cost than you can yourself.  This process is called leveraging.  In part, it is using the time saved from one project to complete another.

       Your time can be better spent marketing, or even operating your business than sitting locked in an office trying to do something that you aren't really qualified to do.  There are qualified people out there who can do these necessary, but expensive jobs and free you to do more important ones.

       With the New Year starting soon, it's time to list the projects that you plan to tackle next year and start doing the research to find the best people to help you. Just consider them "an investment" not "an expense". Sit back and watch your business grow.
