    Learn how to grow your business

    There are only 4 ways to grow your business. You'll learn them and other valuable concepts that you can start using right away at the free business seminar Thursday evening in downtown San Francisco.

    Certified Public Accountants will tell you about systems that are essential to your business process. You'll learn how to work ON your business and not IN it.

    The two-hour seminar is free and there's no catch... except you must register by 12 noon Wednesday!


    Turn Their Resolutions into Your Sales
    New Year's Resolutions

    The start of every new year focuses your clients on renewal and self-improvement. This year, the economy is making us all spend only on practical, common-sense items. Just like the items you provide.

    Learn from Amazon.com's approach. (Amazon's holiday sales increased in 2008!) They've come up with the top 10 New Year' resolutions and offer practical products targeted to fulfill each resolution goal.

    Organize finances, get in shape, relax more, ... they're all there!

    Do Your Customers Know You Care?

    One of the most common reasons customers desert a business is that they perceive that they are not valued by the company.

    What do you do to make sure your clients know that you value them?

    Constant Contact's VP of support says be passionate about your customers, use every interaction to build your relationship, and learn what customers think is important and deliver it.


    Feed Your Piggy Bank

    Regardless of your spending habits, there are lots of ways to Feed the Pig.

    While the savings from changing a single habit may not seem like much, making changes in a few areas of your life can easily add up to thousands of dollars within a single year.

    The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has published pages of common-sense tips that will make a difference to your budget. These professionals help you with everything from your gadget habit to your phone plan overages.
