| Within a working environment, one of
the biggest challenges I faced, working for a small business owner,
was to try and find a fast, effective way to bring in new customers,
whilst providing a service of enhanced quality.
The reality meant, spending the time to market the services, which were essential to maintain and grow the business and avoid a large pitfall in small business, having to rely on one or two large clients for the lion’s share of the company’s revenue. An early suggestion was to create a database for emails and mailings, essentially Microsoft Outlook contacts, having the need for potential customer details would bring added value to the potential growth of the company. Thereafter, I scheduled the time on the calendar
to target e-mails and letters sent to potential clients, followed
up with phone calls to find out if the information was helpful
and if the company could provide services of benefit. |
