It’s all about you and your business. Our job is to provide you with quality, pragmatic tools and techniques that will help you build your business faster and bigger as a result. YOUR JOB is to let us know what you want and need so we can tailor make this publication based on your individual and collective needs. We promise to provide the information that you need based on our cumulative experience as well as the specific requests that you make. While we can’t be all things to all people, can try to answer your collective questions or let you know that we cannot and offer you some additional direction as to where you can find the information for yourself. Over the months ahead you will receive information on numerous topics that will help you more effectively market your business as well as increase overall productivity. As you might expect there will be numerous topics on web and traditional marketing that will make a difference in your knowledge and long-term profitability. But, if we just left it at that, while still very helpful, we’d be doing you a disservice because business is so much more than marketing and sales. Here are just a few of the additional areas a typical business owner and manager must be competent in order to maximize their own efforts, but also of the employees. Each of these topics will be discussed over the months ahead. Management, leadership and supervisory tactics and strategies Goal setting for yourself and others Creating marketing campaigns Strategic alliances with like-minded businesses Customer service strategies More fully understanding client needs Standing apart from your competition in a way to magnetically attract business Accounting, insurance and investment topics Employee retention strategies Financial topics necessary for your retirement Leaving a legacy that goes beyond money to those who come after you Stress management and maintaining healthy family relationships Those are only a few of the topics you’ll read about over the forthcoming months. In many cases we’ll also give you and your employees access to specialized courses, case studies and more in-depth information via webinars and recorded interviews. Again, we request your help in letting us know what you want. Toasting to your success and hoping that our paths cross often.
