Identifying Weaknesses In Order to Strengthen Yourself

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

One of the most difficult things to do is to admit to yourself that you are not good at doing something, even that you are terrible at it. This is particularly true if your weakness is in an area that is important for you. Maybe it is an aspect of your job, or a skill that you wish you could master, but just can’t. Many people will try to rationalize their weaknesses or simply deny that they have them at all. This is the worst thing that they can do.

It is important to acknowledge your weaknesses, to actively search them out, in order to turn these weaknesses into strengths. There are two key ways to identifying your personal weaknesses so you can start to strengthen them:

  • Review your past failures. History is the best way of predicting the future. Examine what you failed at doing, and why.
  • Notice what you avoid doing. Often we avoid doing the things that are difficult. Notice what you avoid doing to find where you are weak.

Launching a Startup in 2014? Here’s the Top 10 Cities for Potential Business Owners

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

A recent study took to the world and identified the best cities in the United States where a small business would see the most success. Some cities are known for start-ups, such as San Diego and San Francisco. Both of these were on the list, but there are other cities that are good for start-up small businesses other than those in California.

The study used five different factors to determine the top cities for small businesses to be launched. Those five factors were as follows:

  1. Percentage of small businesses of all businesses.
  2. Percentage of those that accept credit/debit cards.
  3. Percentage of high-growth industry small businesses.
  4. Percentage of those with a website and/or Facebook page.
  5. Percentage of those with online customer reviews.

With the aforementioned factors and focusing on the most populated cities, it was determined that San Diego was the best place to launch a start-up this year. Denver came in second with Austin, Seattle and Portland rounding out the top five. The rest of the top 10 cities for small businesses in 2014 included San Francisco, Dallas, Boston, NYC and Chicago.

Follow These Tips to Tell Your Company’s Story the Right Way

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

If you’re a business owner then your business is a part of you, and at times it’s as important to you as the air you breathe and the food you eat. And when something is that important then there has to be a story that should be shared about that business.

The biggest problem that many business owners have though, is just how to tell their company’s story, so here are a few suggestions to help tell that story more effectively.

Just be genuine

If there’s one thing that people can tell about other people it’s when they’re being themselves, and that translates very well when you’re trying to trying to connect with people on a personal level.

Talk about factual experiences

This ties into the first suggestion above because sharing an experience that’s happened to you in the course of running your business makes you all the more relatable, but make sure that your story is more than just the usual tale that has a beginning, middle, and an end to it.

Be succinct

While telling your story try to be as direct and to the point as possible without overly embellishing it making it into a boring tale that puts people to sleep. Some authorities even suggest applying the “One Minute Elevator Pitch” concept; in essence as if you were trying to pitch a business plan to an angel investor.

When you’re coming up with your story a good idea is to share it with a small group of people instead of a large one, and the reason why is because a small group you have a better chance of receiving honest feedback rather than from an individual or a larger group where people have a need to try to be polite rather than honest.

How to Enhance Your Client Relationship

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

Your customer and client relationship is vital for your business. Without strong relationships your business would cease to exist. Are you doing everything to enhance those relationships? Use these tips to strengthen relationships with your customers and clients.

How to Enhance Your Brand and Customer Relationships

  • Know your clients better. Learn what they want and how to give it to them.
  • Use clear communications to avoid misunderstandings. Stress clarity in all contracts and other communication with your clients.
  • Know when to say "Yes" and when to say "No." Don’t make promises you can’t keep, but keep the promises you do make.
  • Avoid and/or solve problems for clients. Whether you sell product or provide services, always be a problem solver for customers.
  • Stay focused on your customers more than your products or services. Since your clients ARE your business, keep them as your prime focus.
  • Don’t discard new techniques or solutions without analyzing them.
  • Constantly work at strengthening the client relationship. As strong as your customer relationships may be, take nothing for granted. Work hard to improve them at every opportunity.

Keep Your Valued Team Members

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

An important part of running a successful business is keeping valued team members. Without them you have to search for new employees and find others to fill the shoes of the valued members who have recently resigned from your company. The best way to keep your valued team members onboard is to develop an employee retention strategy which will keep your employees happy, reducing the chance of them going elsewhere.

Recognize the warning signs that an employee may be looking elsewhere for employment. Warning signs include being impatient, not engaging with others, taking extra time off or venting negative feelings to others. Try to understand why your employee is feeling this way and aim to fix the problems. In many cases, unhappiness at work involves not feeling appreciated or having enough compensation for the work they do.

Talk to those you feel are no longer happy working for you. Ask simple questions to try and find out how things are going and if there is anything you can do to improve things. Immediately take care of any issues which may be causing problems for an employee.

Make your company a place where employees want to work. Instill a decent compensation package and recognition program. Being proactive and preventing situations where employees become unhappy is the best employee retention strategy you can have.

Top Causes of Employee Turnover

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

Unhappy employees are less efficient and are more likely to leave your company, but to reduce employee turnover, you have to know what causes employees to quit. Check out these top five reasons employees leave, so you know how to keep your employees happy.

Reasons for Employee Turnover

The number one reason employees quit their job: lack of opportunities and growth. In 2011, 30 percent of people who quit their job, quit because their current job wasn’t offering them the opportunities or development they needed. Other reasons include:

  • Inadequate compensation (28%)
  • Boredom/no challenge (27%)
  • Poor work/life balance (20%)
  • Job stress/unfair treatment (20%)

What You can Do to Reduce Employee Turnover

From this list, you can see that two of the top five reasons for employee turnover are similar: no room to grow and no challenge. Employees want a job that forces them to develop new skills and gives them a challenge, but they don’t want something that causes stress or disrupts the balance between work and life. The best way to deal with this is by talking with your employees and actively listen to what they want.

The Importance of Values in the Workplace

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

Values are not the same as priorities; in fact, values are even more important than the pressing business tasks that you need to get to on any given day. Values determine who you are, what type of businessperson you want to be and even the career you wish to engage in.

Determining your values will take time. In fact, some of your values may change over the years as you put more emphasis on a certain aspect of your life and de-emphasize another. Despite this fact, the values that you choose to embrace will define you.

Defining Your Values

While there are many good values, take a moment to consider which three to five values you want to define you. These may range from humility to resourcefulness to family orientedness. Consider how these values would affect your job and how you can best put them into practice. 

Your values define you, as customers who get to know you will come to know what you stand for. This is good and will help you build trust with those who you need and want to work with.

How to Nurture Client Relationships via Email Marketing

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

Email marketing enables you to stay in touch with clients and has been proven to be one of the most effective forms of advertising. Following are four important points to keep in mind when sending emails that will help you not only connect better with people but also boost your conversion rate.

Deliver a consistent message. You do this by including your business logo with each email and sending emails from the same address each time.

Be as concise as possible. Your clients are busy people and will be more likely to read a brief message as opposed to a long one. 

Personalize your emails as much as possible. Even clients from the same demographic have different needs. No-one appreciates getting an email marketing message that is clearly not helpful to them in any way, shape or form. 

Pay attention to timing. If you are offering a holiday promotion, send the email well in advance so that clients have the time to act on your offer. 

A business that applies these tried and proven points is sure to generate both customer goodwill and profit. To find out more helpful information on the topic of building client relationships, be sure to check out Mike’s Unstoppable Profit Producer Program.
