Empress of biz, Biz Tips. Sunday Morning...Thankyou

Sunday Morning Reflection:









Thank you
...two words...eight letters. 

Often neglected and not said. When spoken with meaning helps ease the way and make new friends and re-affirm old ones. During this holiday season I am grateful for those who have taken the time to be my friend, like my comments, extend a hand in need and just be there as a fellow entrepreneur. 
Thank you! 
And may you be blessed this week with many heartfelt thank you's and good friends.

Monday Biz Tip :) Good morning...the start of a new week. Let's see how we can make our week soar. How about doing the following:

1. Call your best customer and check to see how everything is going. And if everything is going well...ask for a referral.   If there is  a problem FIX IT IMMEDIATELY.

2. Call your suppliers and see if there are any special deals that may help you cut costs.

3. Just finished a job for a customer...make sure you send a thank you...if it is a big job...send more than a card.

4. Make an appointment with your Insurance agent and review your policies...better now than when a problem hits and you are not covered or under covered.


5. Surprise the people you work for and give them notice for their good work. 

Remember... You get more with sugar than vinegar.

6.  Ask your employees what can be done to build business.  Get them involved,  reward them and thank them for their efforts


7. FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT!  Take a walk outside and come back and look at your place of business...is it inviting? Attractive?  Is the coffee fresh?  

8. MAKE YOUR LIST OF WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WEEK...AND PUT IT ON THE WALL WHERE YOU AND EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.  

9.  Check your attitude...is it working for you or against you?

10.   THINK and ACT POSITIVE.  The glass is BEING FILLED...  NOT emptied. 

S. I. Business Associates has been guiding small business to success since 1975.  Let us help you achieve success.  Call JoAnn at 412-440-6969.
