Do You Want to Reduce Your Overheads ?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by John Cox

Great 60 seconds from Nick Ford of Nisus Interiors [http://www.nisusinteriors.co.uk/] about reducing your costs down.

If you have a large office or commercial unit – then you could consider splitting the office or unit with a partition – this may then allow you to let out the new space to increase revenue or apply for rates relief.

It really could be heads you win, tails you win – as your new smaller office will be less costly to run and this coupled with cost reductions from either letting or getting a reduction of your business rates will have a positive impact on your business’ profitability.

Sometimes local business networking events measure success with recommendations and income generated – but often the advice given by other local business’ to members is priceless – as they say it’s not what you know, but who you know!

High Wycombe Business group meet local at Wycombe Heights Golf Club each Wednesday morning – come and pay us a visit and bring 30 business cards to pass out to other local business’ whilst you are tucking into a full cooked breakfast !

Education ~ Education ~ Education

as they say “YOU don’t know what YOU don’t know”

Great Education Slot this week by Steve Gunn of Steve Gunn Associates [http://www.stevegunn.co.uk/] – the Told / Sold Matrix.

Well Steve reminded us that lots of business’ have gold in their existing client base and you can see who has purchased your services, but not others by setting up a grid – with a row across the top with all your products on and a column down the side with your clients on.

Then it is simply a matter of filling in the gaps and you will be left with a great tool to remind which of your existing customers to promote other services with – what a great idea.

How many times have we had a client say to us – “That’s bad luck, i have just gone and sorted that out, I didn’t know you did XYZ…..”

Steve’s education slot at High Wycombe’s leading business networking group – surely just demonstrates why it’s great to share new ideas or refresh old ideas that other local business’ are using – this information can only look to help us all increase profits.
