Covid-19 has had a significant impact on my business. The most frustrating part is filling out endless amounts of meaningless paperwork in the efforts to get unemployment, PPP & EIDL. I'm 0 for 3. Government = All talk, no action. Take their salaries away and watch the money flow then.

In order to justify any expense you need to have cash flow which comes from sales which is generated by marketing. So, I would spend on the ads.

I treat a cold caller like any other person, with respect. If I am not interested I will tell them.

I was fortunate, or unfortunate depending on how you look at it, to have had some bad business partners years ago. By the time I moved away from them and decided to be in business "for myself" I had learned that you really need to do a background check on the people you are investing your future...

I was fortunate, or unfortunate depending on how you look at it, to have had some bad business partners years ago. By the time I moved away from them and decided to be in business "for myself" I had learned that you really need to do a background check on the people you are investing your future in. Now that I am a sole proprietor, I pay my bills on time, my clients receive prompt responses and I am not worried about what my "partner" is doing behind my back.
In my opinion, social media is good for B2C. B2B businesses uses it well for branding. You can't beat a good referral from a happy client. I believe that you need all of the tools to be successful. Social media, word of mouth, direct mail and direct sales. Best of luck with your business!

We all get busy at work. Sometimes you can't take that call from a vendor, and that happens. However, unfortunately, we live in a world today where some people feel it is acceptable to ignore others. Even if they know you. I feel that if you are doing business with a vendor then you should...

We all get busy at work. Sometimes you can't take that call from a vendor, and that happens. However, unfortunately, we live in a world today where some people feel it is acceptable to ignore others. Even if they know you. I feel that if you are doing business with a vendor then you should respond even if it is to say I'm not interested. To ignore someone is de-humanizing. No one is that important. In regards to the question, I have, at times, sent an email questioning whether everything is ok with us and with them personally. You never know what is going on in someones life. Sometimes going beyond the business relationship and showing the client that you care enough to ask about them will stimulate a response. I have had some success with this. Best of luck with your situation.
So, is your potential client aware of your situation? Would they be on board? Does this other business owner have your expertise in this area and do you trust them to handle this client in the same manner you would? Maybe set up a meeting between the client and your counterpart and let them...

So, is your potential client aware of your situation? Would they be on board? Does this other business owner have your expertise in this area and do you trust them to handle this client in the same manner you would? Maybe set up a meeting between the client and your counterpart and let them decide if there is good symmetry.
I had to read your question a couple of times to see if you really had the gall to ask "when is it ok to rob, cheat and steal". If you don't know the answer to that question then there is no hope for you. You get back what you give and usually it comes back much worse. You should re-think your...

I had to read your question a couple of times to see if you really had the gall to ask "when is it ok to rob, cheat and steal". If you don't know the answer to that question then there is no hope for you. You get back what you give and usually it comes back much worse. You should re-think your "strategy" for success and not have success based on hurting others to achieve your selfish objectives. I am speaking from a position of a person who has been robbed, cheated and stolen from. So, sorry, if you get "offended" by this answer. Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Often, business owners look at their small business as their personal piggy bank. They pay themselves first and everyone else with what is left over. Not a good idea! After you pay your taxes and your vendors, rent and all other business related expenses, what do you have left over? Can you put aside working capital and still have enough for yourself? If the answer is no, then you either need to get a 2nd job, if you want to keep the business going, or it's time to close up shop.
You get one chance at getting a sign right. Spend the money and hire a designer. If you're trusting the "free" opinion of people like us on Alignable then you will get what you paid for. Sorry to be so harsh.
