Home Business Tips – Are You Passing the Test?
Using your time wisely is a habit and a skill that is learned while building your home business. As your home business develops and grows the needs change. You are required to perform different tasks, many times each one building on the other. As these tasks change you will recognize that you will be required to use your time differently. The benefit of using your time wisely is that you will continuously pass the test.
How you build your home business, what do you do when it is small is a direct reflection of how you will build it when it is large. If you do not pass the test when it is small, you will not when it is bigger.
Three tips to assist you in passing the test:
1) Dependable- You must be dependable. When you say something will be done by a certain time or be done in a specific manner do your absolute best to make sure that happens. Recently a repairman was to come and fix our dryer, he didn’t show up. I called and was informed that he thought the “other guy” was coming. No apology, no concern about my wasted time waiting for him. Would you call this person to come and fix your dryer? I believe absolutely not! I then called a different company, Mike came on the day scheduled, repaired the dryer and left. I then used it and the squeeking and squeeling was worse than before. I called the company back; Mike came again the next morning. It was a bigger job than he originally thought so we booked the following week for the entire morning. Mike arrived as scheduled, fixed the dryer and said “No Charge, I stand behind my work”. Who do you believe I will call next time I need an appliance repaired. Who passed the test?
2) Follow up- Many times when you approach someone they are not ready for what ever product or service you have. When you follow up and provide your potential customer with value you will be teaching them to want or need your product. I have been following many people on Twitter, I read the information they provide and as a result of them being dependable and following up I have now purchased product from them. I have learned a lot from their products and am very happy that they continue to follow up!
3) Trust is something that you build. You build it with consistent, persistent behaviour. When I purchased product from the people I was following on Twitter I trusted them based on many factors. There is a fine line between just getting by and incredible success. Ask yourself where am I and where am I going? Because successful people do every day what others do only occasionally. Use your time wisely, invest it on the tasks you know need to be done in order to move your home business forward and you will keep passing the test.
