Guy Work

 An at home business is the dream of many people who want to work from home. While a work at home business can be extremely profitable, setting you out on a bright financial future, it is work. Some people find that they just cannot make a work at home business successful because they just don’t have the focus to work the business. A work at home business takes as much effort as a regular job and is not an instant opportunity for easy money. Consider the following tips to ensure the success of your work at home business.

You Have to Focus and Do the Work - You can’t look over at that pile of laundry and choose it over working your business. You must set aside working hours for your work at home business and you must do the work, regardless of whether your favorite soap is on television or you feel like making a run to the grocery store for some chocolate. If you don’t make distraction-free time to work your at home business, it will never be successful. Remember, a work at home business means to “work” - just at home.

You Get Out What You Put In - This goes along with the first tip, but the more you work and put into your at home business, the more you will receive from it. By putting in time and effort now, you will greatly benefit later. Most work at home businesses fail for one of two reasons.

1. People don’t put enough time into their work at home business

2. People give up when starting their work at home business isn’t easy

You Have to Constantly Market - Don’t think you can slack off at your first sale. If you don’t constantly market your work at home business, you won’t repeat that sale. For example, a writer who starts a work at home business writing content for website owners must always be marketing, even while working on current projects. If the writer doesn’t, he won’t have any work or money coming in when the current project is finished. You can’t just start a work at home business and then sit back and wait for customers to come to you. If you don’t market, nobody will know your work at home business exists.

You Must Strive for Constant Knowledge - People who are known as experts in their field run the most successful businesses. Strive for constant knowledge about the subject of your business. Take classes, attend seminars, subscribe to newsletters, and always be on the lookout for new developments and technologies. Write articles for newspapers, industry publications, and provide them on your website. Set out to become the expert of record for your type of work at home business.

It takes time to make a work at home business a success, but by following these tips, you can get a good head start. Stay determined, stay persistent, achieve goals, and enjoy the success that follows.

Turn Good News Into a Sales Pitch
By Ramon Vela

 I recently read an online article by Eric Chabrow on CIO Insight titled “Computer Jobs Hit Record High”. While there can be negative news about employment readily available, I thought I’d share with you some signs of a sector with strong economic numbers that might bode well for you and your sales.

The article states “unemployment among computer-related jobs hovers near historic lows as the U.S. information technology workforce tops 4 million for the first time.”

It also says that “the number of workers employed by IT services firms rose by 56,100 this past year to 1,414,400, a 4.1 percent increase, according to last month’s BLS establishment survey of some 160,000 businesses and government agencies covering about 400,000 worksites.”

So what does all this mean?

Chabrow writes: “Why would IT employment remain robust as unemployment rises in most other job categories? IT performs a critical role in business productivity, and the efficiencies it brings are crucial for employers looking to trim costs — including payrolls — as fuel and related expenditures soar and the economy and dollar weakens. In addition, companies today cannot operate without functioning IT systems, so certain business technology skills cannot be eliminated if a company wants to remain competitive.”

Furthermore, “The increase in IT services employment reflects the continuing need by companies for outsourcers to manage corporate IT infrastructures as well as provide hard-to-find but needed skills to develop and support new applications and systems.”

Again, the quote is — reflects the *continuing need by companies for outsourcers* to manage corporate IT infrastructures.

Besides this good news there are at least a couple of take-aways:

* First, look at ways you can further increase business productivity. Chances are some of your clients are going to trim costs. Help them by making sure there is a technology solution that is going to help them stay efficient.

* Second, it is a good sign that payrolls at IT service firms are growing. It’s a sign that many of your customers are looking to save on cost by outsourcing to companies like yours.

From a marketing standpoint I would suggest having your sales reps use the data I’ve quoted to ask questions about future plans, cost cutting measures, etc. Help them plan by being part of the solution.

The other item from a marketing standpoint is that you can create topics around these data points having to do with saving money, cutting cost, and staying ultra productive and efficient.
