All businesses need to take precautions as best they can, and then it is up to the individual customer to decide if it is "safe enough" for them.

All businesses need to take precautions as best they can, and then it is up to the individual customer to decide if it is "safe enough" for them. If a merchant sets up precautions, and a potential customer does not want to abide by those rules, he is not served, very similar to no shirt, no shoes no service. Now we add in face masks and social distancing. Not every business is the "same" but we are all not that different. Be safe !!

Every job and position and employee have to be handled individually. If you have an employee in a position that can work effectively from home, why not give them that option as long as they perform that position well. If they do not, you adjust accordingly. Some jobs can not be done from home,...

Every job and position and employee have to be handled individually. If you have an employee in a position that can work effectively from home, why not give them that option as long as they perform that position well. If they do not, you adjust accordingly. Some jobs can not be done from home, therefore those positions do not use them as an option. It is no different than in pre covid world, if you had an employee not doing a job well, you change their position or make some type of an adjustment.

The answer is really simple, but sometimes hard to pull off. I have a business, I do merchant services, that is hard to prove a value until something goes wrong. My value is that I just answer the phone immediately and get their issue fixed. When things are going well, I just make sure I keep in...

The answer is really simple, but sometimes hard to pull off. I have a business, I do merchant services, that is hard to prove a value until something goes wrong. My value is that I just answer the phone immediately and get their issue fixed. When things are going well, I just make sure I keep in touch with them and just say hello. They know someone is out there and is watching their back. I care about their success because it contributes to mine.

I am a self employed individual, so at this time, my answer may not fit all readers. However, I think that most people that work for someone else have a relatively good feeling about a business when it is performing well especially when it is a privately held company. If business is "happening" and all seems to be in in good standing, I think the only obligation by the owner is to let their employees know that business is strong and the trickle down effect is that they too are taken care of. The Pro to this is that employees are more likely to stick around. If business is sliding, ownership is in panic mode, then employees are more likely to be looking on the outside. If the issue is temporary, then some good open honesty can help keep people longer, at least those dedicated employees.
Everyday. There is so much competition for everyones business, and you have to always think am I priced right, am I up to date on current services, what is the next "thing" that people want. All you can do is do what YOU do best, and do it great everyday.

Hiring a business coach is like hiring a coach in any other venue. If you hired a baseball coach, they may see something in your swing that you just don't see or realize and they can offer a non emotional solution that you just can't put your finger on.

Sometimes, they do NOT need to have the techy experience you may think they need to have. A coach listens to what you want to accomplish without the preconceived notions you have of why something will fail. I know of several coaches that have done miracles. Good luck.
A product or a service is the same commodity, and there are probably many people or companies that offer the same or similar product or service.

A product or a service is the same commodity, and there are probably many people or companies that offer the same or similar product or service. You have to prove that your product or service is a better value than someone elses, and you NEED to do this every day, every hour or you will get lost. You have to show your clientle why YOU deserve their business. (Think about what you look for and then double your efforts).

Hi Kristine, being in your market, I am in Plainfield, I find that word of mouth is always the best long term return in the areas of advertising. I do a lot of work with local referrals, and that works most effectively for me and my line of work. I can't say whether mailers, postcards Facebook would be more or less effective for your product. Yo probably have to try some of all methods and find out what works best for you.
