When talking about your company, what words do you use? 

~ Focus on your customers wants and needs. 

~ As you listen to yourself, do you hear, “I” or  “Us”? … Or, do you hear, “You” and “Your”? 

Remember: your business only has value as it benefits your customer.

Do you listen more to yourself, or to your clients?

~ Put yourself in their shoes and help them remove obstacles to success. 

~ Ask the  right questions, listen carefully, and you’ll discover everything you need to know to gain a customer for life!

Are your customers staying with you?

~ Finding new customers is great, but don’t forget that customer retention is also critically important.

~ Your customers give you their trust. Trust is the currency of great customer relationships.

Are you open to innovative methods of customer acquisition?

~ When was the last time you tried something new and unfamiliar to attract new customers? 

~ If you are not using social media, maybe now’s the time to jump in!

Try Spring Cleaning your business this way and your company will sparkle with more vigor & profitability and you’ll clearly see your bottom line grow more than ever!

Sunday’s Chinese New Year is the Year of the Snake.

Asian culture views snake years as auspicious, so 2013 should be a excellent year for business fortunes.

In thinking of your small business or entrepreneurial venture, in 2013 — the year of the snake — it should be an wonderful year for:

Reinventing.   Snakes shed their skin.  Reinvent yourself, your products, your services or your organization. 2013 will be a great year for makeovers and do-overs.  Don’t get stuck in the past, thinking of old failures or disappointments. 2013 is a prime year for shedding old habits, old thoughts, old jobs!

Making and saving money.   The snake is cunning.  Thus, 2013 is favorable for small businesses in terms of income, offering opportunities to find not only creative ways to make money, but also ways to save smart.

Planning strategically.   Snakes are wily and intelligent, so 2013 is a particularly good year to review the plan for your business.  Think ahead, analyze your competition, understand your customers better, and develop a strong marketing plan. Plan, reflect and think strategically, and you should see good results by the end of the year.

Striking fast.   Snakes can be lightning quick.  If you’ve done your strategic planning, you can be prepared to act fast when good opportunities present themselves.

Being patient.   Snakes sleep in the sun, saving their resources until the right opportunity comes along.  In 2013 get ready to pounce, but wait for the prefect timing.

Business Center International wishes you

“Gung hay fat choy!”   {may prosperity be with you!}.

Resolve to be the kind of leader others want to follow:

Be consistent. Be real. Let others see how you as a leader effectively manage emotions and frustration at work. Set the example.

Resolve to become a better listener:

Everyone has ideas, they won’t all be great ideas, but if you listen to your employees and customers you are giving them one of the most considerate things one person can do for another. What a great way to earn loyalty and respect!

Resolve to promote your business regularly and consistently:

Too often, promoting your business slips to the bottom of the to-do list. If you want to attract new customers, you have to make promotion a priority.

Resolve to make business planning a weekly event:

Planning is vital for a healthy, growing business. Taking stock of what worked and didn’t, helps you set new directions or adjust your goals. Set aside time each week to review, adjust, and look forward!

Resolve to learn something new:

Learning something new will add to your skills and also a new dimension of interest to your life, helping you achieve a healthy work-life balance. Plus, you may meet people, who may become colleagues, friends, or customers.

Resolve to join a new business organization / networking group:

There is nothing like talking to other business people for sparking new ideas, refining old ones, and making contacts.

Resolve to make 2013 Your BEST YEAR EVER!

No doubt, over the past months, and perhaps even years, you have diligently worked to distinguish your business, establish your authenticity and trust worthiness, and build your community through networking and marketing efforts.

On your mind daily are questions such as:

•  How can I market myself and my business better?
•  How can I retain my current customers and find new ones?

It takes a tireless commitment, and it’s always a work in progress, so give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done!

Make 2013 the year to take your business to the next level and expand your office presence to one where you can meet with clients with confidence and professionalism.
