This may sound odd - but have you looked at how you treat your customers recently? I was discussing this earlier today with a client whose business has stagnated after he moved into a new office last year and we were looking at possible reasons why that would be. |

I am well aware that there are few places for you to go and ask questions about the different accounting packages that are available. Not many of you have an accountant in the early days of business so where do you go for unbiased and expert advice on the choice of bookkeeping package? Do you ask friends and colleagues? Do you wait for months until you find a review in a magazine of 2 or 3 packages and use that? Or do you go to one of the large computer stores and look at what packages they sell and pick one of those? |

A new client recently told me of the problems he had trying to find a good bookkeeper and I thought it was a topic that may be worth sharing with you here. When you get to the point in a new business venture that keeping the books yourself becomes an intolerable extra burden on already stretched time resources, how do you source, test, trial and finally secure someone to do the bookkeeping for you? |

Let’s Look At The Problem: Like most people that go into business on their own, your number 1 priority is the product/service that you established their business to sell/provide. In the early stages of business all your energy is taken getting the business up and running and the records, apart from sales bits, will probably take a very back seat for a long time. The fact is that running a business in the early days involves so many hats for you to wear. You have to be the sales director, buyer, production department and quality control. You also have to become a receptionist, office clerk, helpdesk manager, operation manager, filing clerk, photocopy expert, letter writer, envelope stuffer and stamp licker. |

Introduction: Marketing is the cornerstone of successful business. Without marketing there are no customers, and therefore, no business. In my work I come across many small businesses. Usually, when the owners are asked about their own marketing efforts, the simple reply is they are too busy to devote time to it and anyway, as they are so busy, they do not need to do any marketing anyway! This attitude highlights the one simple truth that stifles any possible growth in a small business, the owner of the business IS the business. |
