Get Noticed!

#3 Get Noticed! Part 1

For the next 5 days we will go over getting noticed,  as included in your business plan.

First Step:

Write up your hours of operation. It is important to set this up. 1.) It keeps you grounded. 2.) It helps you to focus on priorities.

Everyone needs time off to regenerate. Working too much or too hard will burn anyone out. Teach yourself to say "No". If  it can wait until the next business day, then do it.
There are times when waiting is not an option and this is where priorities set in. If it can not wait, take charge to get it done, quickly and efficiently, but then jot down those hours of overtime, and take those hours at a later time, for time to do something other than business.

Example: 2 hour late night, means 2 hour late start morning with the kids. Those 2 hours took away time from family, make up for it. A good way to get in family time; walk your child to school in the morning.

There is a reason the average business company, work their employees no more than a 40 hr a week.....It's called quality of life....
After all if you do not take time for you, how do you expect to take care of your clients efficiently?

Running a business isn't just about numbers, who you see, or talk to; Its about time management.


Second Step:

Write up your introduction Email and send it out to all your contacts. Your contacts: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers. These are the first people who will see your business beginning and most likely come to you first before going to someone else.

You never know who is, or isn't not looking for a home. Your friends, friends may be that soon to be new referral.

When you write your Email, make it short, sweet and to the point.

You should write up to different Emails.

 1. An introduction to the inner office Email to co-workers.
 2. An introduction Email to the SOI people in your contacts.

When you have a company inner office email system set up, it will begin to show your clients, how you conduct your business professionally. It is also branding yourself as a business professional.
