1. Doing Your Market Homework
Our July article on the Profits Plus website is entitled,
"Customer Service At Its Best".
In addition to a great story about a very young business person named Johnny, the article talks about ways to create rewards for your staff as they increase sales for your business. I think you will find several neat ideas that you can use in your business.

2. July 2002 e-ret@iler advisory: The Small Business Journal
Recently I ran across a great article that I think is of interest to readers of the e-retailer. The article is on a website entitled, "The Small Business Journal" and is entitled "9 tips to increase the odds of your success in a small business". If you are reading the e-retailer while you are online, here is a link to that site.
(The article we refer to is no longer posted on their website)

3. Our Power Promoting Idea of the month: Maximize your receipts to customers. Whatever type of form you use for a receipt, make sure it includes your business name, address, phone (including area code) and some additional information such as your hours.

4. Your free subscription to the e-ret@iler

Small Business

AdvisoriES


Seems like today, everyone is a consultant for something. Most small businesses owners have likely received an email, phone call, or visit from someone wanting to sell the services of a consultant.

 

You might find the right combination of consultants (let's call them advisors) in your own neighborhood. And they would likely trade their advice for some advice from you. This month's Small Business Advisory explains how.

Top Story

November has two special events tailored to small businesses. The first occurs in the third week of the month. It's the Great American Teach In Day. Your help will be needed and appreciated.

 

The second event is Saturday, November 28 - Small Business Saturday. Details of how to participate in each is in this month's newsletter.

Article of the Month

Approaching the end of the year, many small businesses start to consider their pay scale for 2027. With some small businesses, bonuses at the end of the year are a tradition. The article of the month shares ideas of how to approach payroll as the new year approaches.


Book of the Month

You are awesome at what you do. You are a small business owner and that takes a lot of bravery to do what you do.

 

Part of what you requires what Malcolm Gladwell calls, "thin slicing." Others refer to it as "gut feeling." The book of the month talks about the need to stop doubting your greatness.

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