Small business evaluation questionnaire from Profits Plus

We have visited with a lot of small businesses and asked the owners and managers many questions about their business.

When we work with a Main Street program, downtown development authority, business improvement district, chambers of commerce, merchants associations and other similar organizations we ask for the opportunity to learn in advance about the business and the owner or manager.

We send a PDF which asks a lot of questions about the business and the person answering the questions. These are not questions that have right or wrong answers, but we think as the questions are answered a person gets a feel of where they are comforable and uncomfortable about themselves and the business.

We want to share this opportunity to "self evaluate" with you. This link, Small Business Evaluation Questionnaire, allows you to download the questionnaire. We hope you enjoy many aspects of what you see about yourself and your busines; and that you work to improve the rest.

Top Story

It is countdown to the start of the 24th Independent Retailer Month beginning July 1. We work to promote the celebration from a different prospective; that of telling the public of the benefits they receive because they shop at a locally owned independent retailer. We also share reseach that shows the many positive feelings that consumers have about locally owned independent retailers and why they prefer to shop with you.

Article of the Month

Remeber Struther Martin in Cool Hand Luke as he said, "What we have here is a failure to communicate"?

 

We are going to apply that expression to the software you use in your business. Are you getting what you need from that software?


Book of the Month

Think of how Harley Davidson, Apple, and Campbell's Soup are perceived. Each have a very devout following. We call that cult branding. This month's book we review is, "The Power of Cult Branding", by B.J. Bueno.

All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
