Boosting Cashflow

Boosting Cashflow

Cashflow is a serious issue for business owners.

When money is tight you really need to be super careful about all purchases.
1. avoid any long term commitments - do not sign up for 1 year of advertising; buy 1 month
2. start with urgent purchases
3. write down all upcoming purchases so you can put them in the correct order for payment
4. pay bills ontime when possible - save the interest; build up good rappore so if you need an extension some day they will trust you.
5. talk to the people you owe money so they know what is going on
6. collect outstanding payments
7. be sure all bills are sent
8. go get more clients

Do not stop marketing - if you have no money then market with no money.
1. phone old clients; current clients and potential clients
2. send individual emails
3. set up some joint ventures
4. use commission sales people
5. go door knocking - old-fashioned but it works well

If you have no cash in your business then how does your business function? How do you buy food for your home? Get your cashflow more predictable and under control.

Plan

What are the top three (3) things you need to get done today?
Set yourself up for success:
- write them down
- tell someone else what you need to get done
- confirm you have everything you need
- can you schedule your day to help the plan?
- start one of the things right now (even 10 minutes!)
- can you delegate to someone else to guarantee that it gets done?
- what are the consequences if you do not get the 3 things done?
- do you need a reward to motivate you to stay on track?
- be very specific what you need to get done today (just making a grocery list does not get food in your fridge)

Have a great business day!

Stand Out - Get More Sales

What are you doing to make your business stand out in comparison to your competition?

During a recent vacation to Montana, I noticed a few businesses trying hard to stand out:
- 70% off sale at Herberger's department store
- a huge Eagle statue at the entrance to a camp ground near Glacier National Park
- a real estate agent's office is in an Art Gallery / Gift Store
- a Toy Store rents strollers for the day to travellers
- a brewery called The Great Northern Brewery Company opened a restaurant bar and recently started doing tours....because of the tours we stopped to buy lunch and a beer sampler package for two and then souvenirs
- some stores in the tourist towns have public washrooms. When washrooms are hard to find it guarantees your store visitors

Now what about your business - what can you do to stand out in the crowd?
Stand out in a crowd and get more attention and get possible clients to check out your business and in the long run get sales. Boost your sales by using your marketing to stand out.

Fit For Business

Tell me - is your business "Fit For Business"?

Is your business working at its best?

Is your business making as much money as you expected?

Are you living the life that you expected?

Take time today and write down your goals and expectations for your business. When you write things down remember that all successes are not many years in the future. If your business is going to be the one you dream of then you need to have a success today; you need to have a success this week and of course you need to have a success this month. It does no good to have a long term goal and not a clue which path to start on. The path to your success will change along the way but you need to start down the path today.

If one of your big challenges is 'sales' then please check out our upcoming sales workshops. As business consultants in the Toronto area, we focus on growing your business to the next level. www.fitforbusiness.ca
