Marketing
One certainty about marketing, tracking is essential to its success. Many people refuse to accept the simple truth; marketing is what initiates a sales cycle. There are very few times marketing will bring an instant sale but what it does bring is a prospect. This is where small business owners fail in their marketing plan.

Here is an analogy: If you plant tomatoes today would you go out tomorrow expecting to harvest?Then why would you send out a piece of marketing material and expect the person who receives it to rush to the phone, credit card in hand and say I’m ready to buy all you have to offer.

Sales and gardening have two things in common; they both need to be cultivated. Your client didn’t receive your marketing piece today expecting to buy. The other thing gardening and clients have in common is they both need tending.Plants needs water, sunlight sometimes additional fertilizer to grow, a client need similar attention. Your marketing material must be built in stages, a sales cycle to prepare the client to make that purchase. If this makes sense to you then you understand the value of a marketing consulting service.

You really don’t need consulting if you have the times necessary to invest in learning the processes on your own. If you’re like most small business; you are already too busy with the other things like closing clients, finding clients, dealing with taxes, acquiring loans and all the other many hats you wear day to day to implement a marketing plan. Without a marketing strategy, your company will wither and die. A marketing consultant or learning how to market is really a must for any business to succeed.

What does your business need Google apps (free) or Exchange Server ( $2500)

Why are so many small companies still dealing with the Microsoft epidemic? We consider it an epidemic because it's a corporate sickness that we have learned to accept even if it cost us thousands per year to deal with. Case in point exchange server, it can be argued why exchange server is a viable option for large enterprises, what I find most amusing is when a company of 20 or less computers will defend there position on the choice of exchange server over free applications like ZOHO or Google. An exchange server is used for email collaboration and calender sharing there are more features but this is the main reason for an exchange server.

Exchange Server first must be configured by a certified server expert, then as changes begin the cost of ownership for this solution begin to grow as well as whenever Microsoft decides they no longer want to support it in lieu of their bigger and better solution you will then be forced to upgrade. Don't believe me? You want proof windows 95, 98, ME, 2000,XP, vista and windows 7. There is your proof of the Microsoft epidemic no matter how good a system operates Microsoft will always want more money, your money, and as long you remain under the guise of MS you will be continually pushed to their new product....period.

A New frontier, options like ZOHO and Google apps can create the same functionality as the MS products at a fraction of the cost of the MS suites, this is where the naysayers will have you to believe that somehow these solutions are inferior or not as secure as the MS option to that I say nonsense. Small business owner are consistently being instructed about the security issues of computing although, we do internet banking, credit card processing, online purchasing and so much more via the internet, so how is it that using a remote solution or cloud solution can be detrimental to your business, again utter nonsense.

Using a cloud solution may be detrimental to business, their business so of course major corporations software vendors, and the technicians that install them will not want you to use free or low cost solutions.

Small Business Marketing (ask yourself the tough questions)

WWW.THEBUSINESSBUILDERS.BIZ

As a business owner, I always try to practice what I preach. My company, American Management Services, has 150 full-time employees around the country, constantly working shoulder-to-shoulder with small business owners whose companies have serious financial problems. We understand the pitfalls of managing employees, keeping cash flowing and micromanaging every last detail of operations.

It isn't easy. I'm the first one to admit that I'm far from perfect, and when I don't follow my own rules, it is always very costly for the company. When a mistake is made, I remind myself that we have to be our own best client. This means that we have to be willing to ask ourselves the really tough questions--questions you should be asking yourself too.
