Two Ways You Can Increase Your Profits and Promote Your Business. Elroye's Blog #8
The Good News is....you're in business for yourself. The better news.....is that you can find customers where they hang out ....and hook up with other businesses to increase your profits. Before I give you the real deal on these two profit increasers , let me tell you where I come in at ....to help you increase your business ....and..... promote what you do.
Business Credit: Tool for Business Success I want you to use business credit to finance the growth of your business through me. You can use personal savings, personal credit cards, equity in your home, borrow from friends and family and so on ...but nothing beats business credit. It's like using a fork to pick up leaves....it's the wrong tool. A leaf rake will pick up more leaves than a fork. Now you wouldn't use a leaf rake to eat your food....because it's the wrong tool. A fork is the tool for eating ...just as a rake is the tool for raking leaves.
Personal credit is the right tool for taking care of your personal needs...it's designed to keep you within your credit limit. Business credit is the right tool for taking care of your business needs because it's designed to increase as your business needs increases. Personal credit is limited by your income. Business credit increases so you can pay to increase your business plan. The difference is that you have to actually make more money before you get more personal credit....while business credit allows you to get more business credit to finance the business to make more money. If you can show how your company uses its money to increase profits...then you can GET MORE MONEY!!!
All I ask is that you use the information provided here to increase your. business...then come see me to increase your business credit to finance your new business needs.
Now back to the show...the commercial is over.
Networking for Customers What's better....finding one customer at a time or finding groups of customers at a time? You can network and find whole communities of customers at one time. There are online communities that help you hook up with your target population. Let's talk about one such online community that helps you meet your target group....face to face.
Meetup.com This site is hot for those of you who want face to face contact with people who have a shared interest. http://www.meetup.com/ is an online free community that lets members sign on to groups who schedule meetings around their special interest. Yoga, fishing, politics, small business, you name the category you either find it on http://www.meetup.com/ or you can create it. Meetup is free to members but if you want to start a meetup group.....you pay a small monthly fee. So for the price of a meal you get to start your own group. Go on the site...explore...search for groups you may be interested in...join...go to a meetup.
The secret is to profile your customer so you can spot the Meetups they would be interested in and you sign up to attend them as well.
Be Prepared When you attend a meetup be prepared. My usual traveling pack consists of business cards, my current offer, and a call to action. Business cards you know about and your current offer should be attractive and valuable to your target market. The call to action is simple...what do you want people to do as a next step. Call you, email you, give you their contact information, whatever it is....let them know what you want them to do.
Joint Venture Synergy The really big money is in joining with non competitive businesses and sharing your customer list for greater profits. If I tell my customers to buy from you... then you get new business you never would have gotten.... if not for me. Then you tell your customers to buy from me... and I will get business.... I never would have gotten...... if not for you. Now here is where we take it to a whole new level....by creating joint ventures with as many businesses as possible.
Imagine creating joint ventures with two, then three, then five, then ten businesses. Each business has on average.....300 customers....that's 3,000 people you could be in touch with ....3,000 people you all share in helping.
The sum of what we do together......is greater.... than the individual businesses ......because we all are increased by the joining together. That synergy is a powerful business tool for growing your business.
