Four quotes emphasise the need to know your business and stay ahead of the trends. Insolvency and Financial issues aren’t a product of poor bookkeeping or accounts, so put the ownership into business projects.

“Track your finances weekly”, simple advice but just how is that done?

Policy and procedures often conflict with action, causing issues with performance.

Simplicity

The concept of trade is to exchange one product or service for financial reward. However, the modern complexity of global markets creates the need for comprehensive offers to customers.

This does not reflect the reality of life, we are good at some things, better at others, therefore, why the sales complexity and delusional promises. All product and services are limited or bound by finite terms.

Try this approach for a while; let the customer understand you are responding to their need. The extra’s required are just that, Extra! It is common to hear from freelancers (I know because I have been guilty of it), “we need this completed before I can move on, so I’ll do it myself”.

For service providers and freelancers understand the client is buying your skills and your time. Value them.

The business support marketplace

Define what you are selling and who is buying. Then make it easy for them to buy. Complexity creates confusion, simplicity establishes excellence, continuity and trust. All marketplaces are built on trust. Sadly, the regulatory system explains that we can’t trust everyone. So set checks, require information and ensure the integrity of the buyer.

An insolvent buyer is crippling and the impact of one or two in a financial year can be make or break. That is why CDP Support will help profile your marketplace and create a clear sales and tendering strategy.

This is a “No Frills” package.
