EPISODE 107 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast Today's Tip of the Week: The Power of Testimonials in Your Local Advertising In Today's Episode We Cover 3 Topics: Marketing Your Testimonials, Rant on Respecting Your Customer's Home & a Question on Losing Customers Due to Changing Pricing and Products In today's episode, we discuss… We start with a great set of questions on How not to Lose Customers While Making Changes to Your Business. When is changing your prices and products become too much and cost you customers? We discuss how you want to communicate with your customers and clients the changes and make them part of the process, to get their ideas and look for trends in what they are asking for. Finally, make sure you give the changes time to make a difference. Constant change never allows you to see how they are working out. I rant on something that happened when I used a local small business owner for some work around my place. The subject of not leaving Your Customer & Client's Home a Mess when you are done with the work. Nothing says I don't value you nor do I respect you, than leaving your trash and crap around someone's house. You are a guest in their home and you need to treat them that way. You want their memory to be about the awesome job you did and not the crap you left them to deal with. Finally, we talked about how Testimonials Should Be Part of Your Marketing Plan. Testimonials are a great way for future customers to know exactly what they are getting when they use you and your business. Testimonials are your past customers shouting from the roof tops why people should be using you. Remember, people will listen to other people bragging on you more than they will listen to you bragging on you. So make sure to collect these. Focus them on 1 or 2 websites and grow a must use you mentality on those sites Finally, we start the episode with a little pep talk on your business J HELPFUL LINKS Podcast Website: LocalSmallBusinessCoach.com Leave your Message on the website with the Speak Pipe Button or just email me at [email protected] Our Training Materials for Local Small Business Owners: TrainingforLocalSmallBusinessOwners.com Starting a Local Small Business Website: StartALocalSmallBusiness.com Get a FREE Audiobook!

EPISODE 106 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast Today's Tip of the Week: Staying Engaged with Your Past Customers / Clients In Today's Episode We Cover 4 Topics: Seasonal Business, Purchasing Equipment on a Loan, Employee Presentation & Staying Engaged with Past Customers In today's episode, we discuss… You want to create a business that can survive all 12 months and not just 9 months of the year. While we have discussed seasonal businesses more back in episode 40, the important thing to remember is, find ways to fill the down months to help ease the massive drops in business that you are prone to. We discussed a question on should you take on debt to purchase equipment or tools to grow your business? As I mentioned, that depends if you have business backed up, ready to go. Then it might be worth it. But if you will grow slowly with the purchase, you are better off saving up the money and then making the purchase. This will take away the pressure of needing to create business immediately to at least break even with the loan payment. In my weekly rant, we discussed why It is very important that you realize that anyone you hire, whether on your payroll or in a temporary basis, is a representation of you and your values. You must set those expectations and they must know that you are going to follow up on them. Especially if they are out of your eyesight and in front of your potential customers and clients. Finally, we wrapped up with our tip of the week where we discussed the importance of staying in touch with your past customers and clients and how it is much easier to keep an existing raving fan vs trying to find and convert a new one. We went over a few ways that you can work this into your weekly routine. This is an area that we all, including myself, need to commit to going forward.

She has been having trouble getting good help and is wondering if this is a great option. Then we discuss the importance of making sure your carts and hand baskets are in your store and ready for your customers vs across your parking lot.

EPISODE 104 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast Today's Main Tip: Attitude, Amplify & Action = A Success Business Question of the Week: How Much Money Can I Make in My Business In today's episode, we discuss… A) A question on how you should set your prices in the beginning stages of your business. You initially want to be competitive with your competitors. Once you build a reputation for service and quality of work, you can start to pull away from the pack but your first goal needs to be getting your foot in the door. B) We go over my rant for the week on cold calling. We discussed that if you do any cold calling you must make a personal connection first and not insult your target audience just because they aren't ready to hear your sales pitch at this time.
