All rights reserved The Big Marketing Duh- it’s all about sales If you had a surefire way to increase qualified leads and help sales close more business, why wouldn‟t you do it? What if it was an easy, proven way that doesn‟t always require you to acquire and learn new software, blog/tweet/or otherwise use social media or even be numbed by analytics. I bet I could sell you this painless marketing remedy for a good chunk of change. But I won‟t. I‟ll tell you right here for no more than your continued attention. In recently working with Aberdeen Group on a landmark survey and analysis of 455 marketer‟s issues and priorities, we found a significant difference between Best in Class organizations (those who grew revenues more than 20% in the past year) and all other barely surviving organizations. No it was neither their industry nor their product/service advantage. It was the fact that marketing and sales are aligned together and actually listen to

If you want to sustain the competition, you must evolve with the times and have the right project management tool, which will simplify your workload. Integrating the right kind of management software will not only reduce the workload, but also help you organize and streamline all the processes.

© 2011 small-business-university . All rights reserved Best Practices for Being Your Own Boss Who wouldn’t dream of becoming his/her own boss? Being your own boss comes with plenty of benefits. You can set your own work schedule and not have a boss breathing down your neck. However, if you have to be a successful entrepreneur, you need to stay focused and also ensure that the deadlines are met. American society is small business friendly because the US government acknowledges SMBs as the spine of its economy. Starting out on your own a decade back and venturing into a new business in the current economic and financial situation is different. The current economic conditions are not only brutal, but also very competitive. You must understand that the transition period for becoming your own boss must be given a minimum period of 12-months. For instance, if you want to become a small business owner in 2013, you have to start doing the groundwork for it right from 2012. According t

All rights reserved An Insider’s Guide to Holiday Shopping for Search Marketers With just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, holiday season can be nerve wracking for many retail search marketers. Though holiday shopping is a favorite time of the year for consumers like you and me, the retail shops have a tough time coming out with an attractive campaign to lure consumers to their outlets. Statistical reports of National Consumer Council show that the around 40% of all retail sales take place between November and December every years. It is going to be the same this year too. Here are a few pointers that every retail search marketer should keep in mind to be a winner in the limited buying pool this holiday season. Plan you Budget – October through January is the holiday season and during this period, retailers are on their toes.

All rights reserved Rules for Starting an Advertising Campaign Effective marketing and strategic advertising are key to the success of any kind of business, more so with small/medium ones. Whenever a new product is launched in the market or when a business desires to grow, companies begin advertisement campaigns. The other desirable objectives are to make its presence known to its competitor, when there is a dip in the business profits or when a misconception exists among the potential customers regarding the product/services. Once you have decided who your target audience are, it becomes easier to select the medium of advertisement. For instance, if you are aiming at teenagers, then the best way to reach out to them is through radio and selective television programs, else you can put up posters in schools/colleges and youth centers. However, if your target is business executives of a specific industry, then it is wise to uses professional journ

All rights reserved Watch out for the Small Business Loans Coming Through “We decided to be very bold in getting money out into the hands of small business as quickly as possible. As a result, tens of thousands of businesses were able to get credit in a market where the banks had really frozen them out,” says Ms. Karen Mills (Small Business Administration chief) Small businesses play a vital role in the economic growth because they are the backbone of the U. S. economy. With the recent economic downturn, the small businesses are struggling to get business loans. Reason being: many banks have filed for bankruptcy in the period 2008-2009; the banks may have bad/troubled loans; the small businesses may have poor credit history. When the economy is facing a crisis and the future of your business looks bleak because lending institutions are denying you loans, you need to take certain steps to obtain small business loan.

If you are planning to start a small/medium business or pump money into your business, you need to look out for small business loans. When the economy is in a crisis, lending institutions are reluctant to sanction loans and if they do, it comes with a lot of terms and conditions. However your market plans and expansion of your business depends on the funds you have. When the country is going through the worst financial crisis, it may not be that easy to acquire bank loans. There are many reasons why the banks and other financial institutions are curtailing their loan activities. Many banks may already have troubled loans and because of this, they are hesitant to lend to any business that may carry risks. Another noteworthy reason is that there is a liquidity crunch. Due to the economic slowdown, many small businesses are crimping their demand for bank loans. When such is the case, the banks a

Your work equals valuable time; Keep track of it Whether you are a freelancer or a small/medium business owner, it is necessary that you keep track of billable hours spent working on a project for a specific client/customer. An important and mandatory part of effective time management is keeping track of the hours you have put in. Remember that billable time is the lifeblood of your business. You need funds to pay your bills, pay your staff, and also your take home salary. Ultimately, without billable time, there is no business. To maintain a good working relationship with your clients, it is important to keep accurate billing records. Regardless of the quality of your work, there is a possibility of losing out on future projects if you make frequent errors in your billing or present haphazard bills. Online time tracking tool is mandatory not only for freelancers but also for small/medium business owners who are always on the move. Her
