Jeff Hill, the owner of ATP Agriculture and Irrigation Consultants, knows that launching a new business can be simultaneously inspiring and anxiety-riddled. It’s a huge step to take that requires a great deal of thought, effort, and resources, and he recommends that prospective entrepreneurs keep the following tips and tricks in mind to get started on the right foot.
- Launch a business that you’re going to enjoy thinking and talking about. Especially in the beginning, your work will entirely consume your life, and it’s important that you have a great deal of passion to work through the burnout and exhaustion.
- Use social media to your advantage. This is an incredible age where the smallest business owners can spread the message with a minimal amount of knowledge and effort. A simple website will help people find you and get a general feel for what you have to offer.
- Approach every interaction as a potential sale. Have an elevator speech prepared so that you’re always ready to explain exactly what it is you do and why potential clients should choose your services.
- Develop deeper relationships based on trust and respect with your customers. Getting to know potential clients in a more profound manner rather than conducting a simple transaction will build the bedrock of your business. By treating your clients with integrity, you are developing relationships that have the potential to continue far into the future.
