Build Your Own Business Stimulus Plan

Businesses seem to be waiting for government stimulus money to trickle down into their cash flow.

Unfortunately, few people seem aware of the glacial slowness of big government. Rather than wait on the Fed, businesses can create their own stimulus plan.

While in this economy it's hard to increase sales, it's easy to focus on reducing costs. Every dollar saved goes straight to the bottom line. And employees love finding ways to simplify, streamline and optimize the business to better serve customers.

Until Sold Out: We Mean Business

"Until Sold Out." I never realized how these three words could thrust me in to a lifetime of regret and sadness.

The internet is full of wonderful online shopping deals. I hunt for them and make note, I check back on them. For some reason that I can't put my finger on I like to let these things sit there for a while. I like to consider them and when it makes sense for me economically and just in general I make the purchase. It never seemed to matter. Until one day it started to. I was finding sites that offered limited time deals. I would go to the site and see some sort of electronics deals, like on a video game for example. I would save it to my favorites and then upon checking back be shocked. "This item is now sold out." Sold out? Sold out!?! This is the internet! Everything is supposed to always be available for everyone at ALL times. I was perplexed, I was shocked and most of all I was not going to get that game at a retail rate.

Pricing Labels and What They Say to Customers

When you get new product into your store or when your older products go on sale, you need to get the right pricing labels on them so your customer can see how much it is without having to go through the hassle of asking to find out. Everything should be conveniently displayed for them. But depending on the pricing labels you use, the actual color and design can convey different things to the buyer.

How to Get Back on Track

Goal-setting is a key part of NLP and a key part of business success. If you don't know what you want to achieve it's very hard to decide what to do!

Once you've got your well-formed outcome, the next step is usually to work out a strategy to achieve your outcome. So, if the outcome is to increase sales by 10%, then it's likely the strategy will involve extra sales conversations, incentives or networking. If the outcome is to increase motivation and morale in your team, then the strategy might include more one-to-ones and more good quality feedback. If it's a personal goal like running a half-marathon then the strategy will involve regular workouts and a running plan.

Create A Powerful Network

Businesses run on networks. To serve your customers in the best possible manner, you must have the best possible suppliers and associates. For big businesses, finding such associates is not difficult since there are only a handful of them. But when you come to small business, they are many in number and largely unorganized.
