Here is a tip on marketing that I just learned from my
business planner. Always look for the least expected places to market. For
example, in my case, one of the more favorable places to market my service is funeral
homes. FUNERAL HOMES! Imagine, promoting a health care service at a funeral
home! Who would have thought? But it turns out that they can make up 3% of
my referrals. In sum, that’s a pretty big chunk from a numbers perspective. Here
is another tip that my attorney had suggested for obvious reasons, when opening
an office, only sign a lease for six months, regardless. There is nothing worse
than being locked into a lease with a business that you don’t know if it will
be successful. This is one of the ways to legally protect yourself and personal
assets. NOTE: you cannot walk out of a business lease. The laws are different
from a residential lease. Just saying! Tip number three, always do business
ethically. Don’t try to operate outside of an ethical code. It’s just not worth
it! And, its bad business!
On that note~ I’m tired as all hell and my knee is still
messed up from my last 15 day or more day stretch! I feel like I’m a member of
the walking dead, minus the cannibalism, of course. =) Four days into a 12 day
stretch working 16 hrs a day. My grades are slipping but not so bad. I’m still
maintaining my G.P.A. I have no idea how I’m able to attend summer courses
while building a business. I have no idea at all! I need to hire some more
help.
Good Night!
P.S. I know that I said that I would expand on my marketing strategies
that have yet to fail me and I will, when the opportunity for some free time arrives.
Please be patient! It is a lot of info to just toss out. After all, its a
life time worth of learning and is difficult to pin point were to begin. Maybe
the don't do would be the best place to start? Not to mention, I am currently
building so my focus is one my business then my studies.Please be patient! Good night!
