Business Tip of the Week
Here are few success tips from business leaders:
- "Know where your customers are hanging out online. You don't have to be everywhere. Be where your customers are ... and communicate with them there." - Laurie McCabe, Partner SMB Group
- "Never stop networking, never stop pushing. It's easy to give up when everybody around you ... is telling you 'you can't do it'. You have to be around positive people. Then push on." - Tom Force, Owner, ICE Keytags
- "One simple way to 'wow' customers is thank-you cards - a handwritten note, a thank-you card saying 'thank you for buying from me'." - Ramon Ray, SmallBizTechnology.com
- "Entrepreneurship is one of the loneliest professions in the world. The entrepreneurs that are really successful reach out in networking groups and peer associations - or just to one person. They need that thought partner." - Jeff Mask, Vice President, Infusionsoft
