New Business: Tips That Will Help Pt 1 By Stephen P Marshall     Whether you are thinking about starting a new business or have in fact started a new business, there are many things you can do both right and wrong that will either help or hinder your progress. It is very easy to do the wrong things and suddenly find yourself back at square one again with a failed business behind you. However, it is just as easy to learn the right things and steps to do, to make your business a winner and stick in the hearts and minds of your customers. Below are ten tips that have proven to be effective with helping in business, some learnt through interactions with others, some learnt the old fashioned hard way. Expectation management. If you set expectations correctly with your customers and then exceed them you'll always be the hero, even if these were set very low to start with. Think EasyJet. Don't be scared to say 'no' to customers when they ask for credit or extended terms. Cash flow is the life blood of all SME businesses so, keep control, pay suppliers on time and don't let customers steal extra credit days. 3Hs: Hardworking, Helpful and Honest creates good working relationships throughout. People like to know they are being thought of. Immediately after a meeting (the same day ) find contacts on Twitter and LinkedIn and connect to them and you will stick in their memory for longer. Focus on what you do best. Every business person has their strengths and weaknesses. Great sales people are not always the best at paperwork and administration. Recognize your weaknesses and think about how you can outsource those tasks.       Adland Digest Sponsor Message Be a sponsor. Place your ad here. (Spot II)   Invest in your employees. A happy work force is a productive work force. Staff need to be kept motivated. Clearly define their role in the business and make them feel part of a team. Cash is king, keep it flowing. More businesses fail because of poor cash flow management than any other reason. By all means, utilise the web for e-marketing, budget the balance right. Your Twitter and Facebook fans and followers don't want to see lots of similar updates from you in a small space of time. Don't complain about competition. Use it as a way to guide your business ahead. In particular, in the technology area, don't stand still. Constantly learn new skills and techniques and use these to create new products and services that your rivals are too slow to master. Instead of having a seminar that sells someone something, educate them on a subject that is relevant. Improving someone's knowledge is a more powerful tool than trying to sell them a product.

(Spot III)   New Business: Tips That Will Help Pt 2 By Stephen P Marshall Whether you are thinking of starting your own business, are in business and just wanting tips and help so you can avoid the many pitfalls along the way. This post gives you ten tips that will genuinely help anyone become a more successful business person. Information and knowledge is something we all should share if we are to help get this world out of the global financial mess it is in. The future is entrepreneurship not employees. With all of the noise around social media, it's sometimes easy to get lost in the sea of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Try not to focus on what others are doing too much as it takes the focus off you. Last thing at night, before leaving your desk, make up your " to do " list for the following day. That way the day starts well organized. Use Twitter! Great for feedback, promotions, customer service, building a community for your business and many other things that you will not appreciate until you use it. Everyone is a potential customer or knows one, building networks and friendships now may lead to paying customers later. Start your excellent customer service before they are customers. Never underestimate the power of your website. Managing and providing people with a valid information service through your website will not only minimize the number of phone calls you have to take but will also provide valuable leads on the ones that come through. Always be on top of your finances, know exactly where your profit margins are highest and what your biggest expenses are. Listen to your customers. Ask them what they love about your company and products, and what you could do to improve their overall experience. Act on the feedback. Integrate your eCommerce website with your business to increase sales and to reduce costs. When visitors arrive on your website you should offer them free guide to your products or case study whitepaper, something valuable enough for them to provide you with their contact details. Treat your suppliers like your customers, they are the most important people in the chain. Be proactive. Give your clients the information they need before they ask for it. It's the main difference between an okay accountant and a good accountant. It is very easy to make simple mistakes, yet with the correct knowledge it is even easier to do things right, first time so avoiding the many problems others will encounter by not knowing the do's and dont's.
