Small Business
Our September advisory is titled, "What do you sell?" My favorite example of someone getting it wrong has an email that starts with, "Sallysellsinsurance@."
Yes, that may be the product that Sally sells, but what she is really selling is peace of mind in knowing that if something happens, you are not going to pay the entire cost of the loss.
This is but one example. Our September advisory - What do you sell?
Small Business
Yes, selling does include translating features into benefits. But it does not stop there. What if the benefit is not relevant to the customer? Then, there might not be a sale. This is where advantage comes into consideration, and that is our top story of the month.
When you think about a customer who makes a point to talk to you and your staff, have you ever thought about getting them to talk about your business with their friends? The September Article of the Month shares an idea.
The Art of the Exit is our suggested book of the month. The author, Jackb Orosz, discusses ways of getting out of your business whether it is retiring or just time to move onto something else.
All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
The Small Business News is our free monthly newsletter sent to all who have an interest in improving
the operation and profitability of a small business. The Small Business News began with the December 1999 issue and was originally titled, "e-retailer". Each month features a
link to a business article of the month from Tom Shay, as well as current
information to assist you in your business.
