Not selling small business services – poor oversight. Small business is BIG business! Who hasn't heard that statement? But have you really thought about the concept? It's been around and it's been used over and over and even if it does sound contradicting, it is the truth. You know this - not only does each of the small businesses provide their services, but they require just as many. Individually each one of them is probably not a company's largest buyer, but collectively those businesses are a powerful force.

There are 550,000 new businesses started each MONTH in the US! Granted, a lot of them will fail, but hold on – for each one of those businesses to get going, they need to write a business plan, incorporate, create a logo, create a website, open a line of credit, open up an office/retail space, equip that space, hire employees, pay them… the list of tasks is long and the dollar amount behind it is large. Take all those needs and multiply them through the number of startups and you see a multi-billion dollar effect. No wonder the government makes special effort to promote small business loan access, create tax breaks, allows for a favorable playing field to compete with the industry leaders.

Trying to Understand the Market

The newest trend by the large corporations is trying to accommodate these small businesses by providing products customized for them and trying to understand their needs (which credit card company doesn't offer a Small Business card?). Well the corporations may be trying to understand the small established business, but they are still overlooking the startups. There is the stereotypical reason to overlook these cash-strapped startups – that they don't have money to spend. Well, the reality is they may be bootstrapping and cash may be very delicately calculated, but the entrepreneurs who are running those startups know that they have to spend money and know how to spend that money and they DO spend money.

The Mindset

Who gets it - other small businesses get it! So what needs to be understood about these entrepreneurs? The first thing that must be known is that just like any group of people can't be defined by just one description. There are very savvy individuals who start companies, there are simpler-minded ones; there are ones with reserves, and ones without; there are patient, hardworking ones and impatient and lucky ones. That's the first part, the second is that they are just like most well-informed consumers today, only they expect even more for even less. The lowest dollar, no matter how appealing, is not the answer if it does not provide a solution, so spending an appropriate amount of money is not out of the options.

Some of the entrepreneurs know that they need a website, but they don't have $7,000 to spend on one; others know that they need a business plan to secure funding and ARE willing to spend $2,000 – understanding the need that they have and the way they intend to alleviate their pain is the way to sell your service. They may shop around a lot longer, and come off as wasting too much of the vendor's time, since finding that deal is so crucial to keeping costs down; they may barter, they may balk entirely – but do know that if they engage you in a price quote and open a dialogue, they are not there to waste either your or their time for that matter – they are there to buy.

The Takeaway

It's all about being patient, it's all about communicating needs and solutions and it's all about making money!
And Small Business Services
You may have to track your money a little harder than they do, but trust that they too have to track the flow of money in and out at some point. You can make a lesser budget work just as hard for you as if it were millions, if you do it right.

Keeping your employee ratio as low as possible so that you can avoid having to pay out large sums of what could be your businesses profits is one of those right moves. Such a suggestion may scare you. How will a number of office obligations be met if you do not have the employees to see that they are done? The budget savvy answer to that is to hire a small business assistant for the office services you would normally have to pay an employee to perform.

A small business assistant typically works off site in their own office, using telephone and internet connected computer to communicate with you and to contract assisting services to you. In some cases however, if your business is located near the business assistant, on site assisting is often possible. Do not confuse a business assistant who is able to provide you with on site assisting with one of your employees. These highly skilled business assistants contract for work you outsource to them even if they perform some or all of them inside your business, but they are not employees of your small business. On the other hand, do not assume that just because a professional business assistant is an independent vendor that they will not maintain a professional image and conduct while on your company site. They are professionals like you and know the importance of being professional at all times.

We would need another article to name all of the services provided by a business assistant to help the small business owner save money and get ahead. But we will mention as many of the service you could outsource to a business assistant as possible.

There are a plethora of marketing services that a business assistant can provide. From the creation of brochures, business cards, flyers, newsletters, and content articles for you to place on your business site. Online marketing, direct mailings, Geo farming, translation, lead follow up, website customization and SEO, and blog development are a few more of the services you can elect to outsource to a business assistant to meet your business marketing goals.

Management and office support services often include software customization, research, word processing, database and client care management, scheduling of appointments, data entry, merge mailing, and calendar updating, An on site business assistant can provide you with many office organization and management services.

You can get many of the services that those big execs pay heavily for at substantially lower rates from a professional business assistant, and that is what doing it right is all about. Event, meeting, and travel planning and if you are within the service area, personal shopping and errand services are made available. These services offer you the executive treatment without an executive price tag attached.

Use your resources wisely and they will work as hard for you as if you were a large conglomerate with unlimited capitol to play with. Give those big guys a good showing of what you can do by making sound business choices such as outsourcing for your business assisting needs and making other sound business choices.

What about layout? Avoid sidebars in bright colours, and make sure that the main text is black on a white background. The whole idea is to draw the surfer to the text and to keep him or her reading.
