Business 101 Nuggets:
http://DynamicMarketingConsulting.com/Business101.html
The years roll by quickly! 2007 was no exception. How was 2007 for your business?

January is the time for analysis. What worked well for your business? What performed poorly? What trends are changing, and how can your business change to accommodate new trends? You probably have many of your 2008 plans in place, but January brainstorming is great for tweaking.

Staff and customers appreciate being involved. One thing I found useful was to have coffee individually with each member of my staff. Ask each what he/she thinks the business is doing well, and what areas they see that could be improved. I like to ask how they feel we could better use their personal strengths. Really pick their brains. You’ll be impressed. Be sure to include the question "How am I doing?" and graciously accept whatever they say. We give employees evaluations regularly. We receive them from our bosses too. It’s important that we realistically know how we are personally perceived. Seriously consider all of their suggestions. If you choose to use some of their suggestions, be sure they get credit, and praise them to their peers. Rewards are appreciated.

For public input, you can have a suggestion box if that is suitable to your business. When concluding a sale, you can ask "How are we doing?" Remember to add the "We appreciate your business" comment. Appreciation has great value - to both staff and clients.

We want to remember to learn from what didn’t work well, not to beat ourselves up, but to help us formulate a better plan. In that respect then, even mistakes can be valuable learning tools. I call some of my mistakes "Things I’ve learned that I didn’t want to need to know" ....in trying to keep my sense of humor.

For 2008, I intend to streamline - to stop doing what isn’t working, and to creatively expand on what IS working!
