- The New Year is an excellent time to "touch base" with all those people who you did business with during 2010. Take the opportunity to remind those businesses you have worked with over the last 12 months you are still up and running, bid them a Happy New Year, and get your firm in the front of their memory to kick start a successful year in 2011.
- Stocking up. People's stockings may have been filled over Christmas, but are yours? After the hectic festive period and the shopping boom of the post Christmas sales, do you have the business support to handle the orders in January and February?
- Now more than ever is the time to make sure you are handling those inbound calls. If you don't have the systems in place to answer the phone each time it rings, get a dependable telephone answering service to handle your calls. Over 40% of people will not leave an answer machine or voicemail message. That's a lot of business to be missing out on and a lot of faith to have in your customers to not go somewhere else.
- Consider your marketing strategy - Make your marketing campaigns more personal and tailored to the clients that you are trying to market to.
- Engage with your employees. Disenfranchised employees do not work affectively and can often leave a worse impression of your firm than an engaged employee. Nurturing and developing your staff, keeping them engaged and motivated will lead to a far more successful 2011.
