It’s
February already, and just about now we are celebrating Carnival
in my corner of the world. Months of preparation, band launches
and nightly “fetes” culminate with a grand four day parade
on the streets of Port of Spain.

How
many of you are still holding on to your resolutions? I resolved
to add at least three new clients monthly to my business, in an
effort to keep my growing team busy. This month we added four
new clients! I am very thankful indeed.
Which
brings me to this month’s featured article by Martyn Lewis,
Are You Allergic to Finding New Clients?
As business owners we should always under promise and
over deliver to our current customers but in order to grow we
need get out there and add new clients. Martyn’s article
should get you on the right part.
A
recent poll by a Small Business Association indicates that 30%
of businesses do not have a website. Out of the 70% that do,
only 35% actively promote their businesses online. So, even when
business owners make an investment and get online, few of them
go the extra mile to promote the site. That’s like throwing
money out the window. Find five ways to bring traffic to your
site and get noticed in I’ve Got A Website, Now What?
Not
forgetting those without a website, we’ve shared some
resources for getting a website in the article Taking Your
Business Online Is Easier Than You Think.
Be
sure to check out our some of recommended resources for your
business and this month’s service spotlight.

Are
You Allergic To New Customers? |
|
If you are like many small
businesspeople, the idea of prospecting for new clients and
customers makes you sneeze. Why? Because it conjures up the
"S" word--selling--and many entrepreneurial types view
themselves as visionaries, not salespeople.
Recently I had the
opportunity to meet with Lindsey, an extremely nice person who
ran her own business. In conversation I was interested to hear
that business was quite good but she was having trouble finding
new clients. Read
article. |
