Valentines: Do your clients know you love them?

At this time of year you might be starting to think about how you're going to treat your sweetheart on Valentine's Day, if only to keep in their good books! But the occasion also offers the chance to let your clients know just how important they are to you too; an opportunity many business owners fail to take advantage of.

I couldn't run my business without it...

This month's rave resource is the fabulous Teamwork Project Management Software app.  I've been using this neat little programme for almost a year and it's massively transformed the way I run my business.  The guys at Teamwork have a wonderful attitude to customer service and despite no doubt having thousands of customers they always manage to make me feel like the most important one.

Free storage for your ever-growing online 'stuff'

Dropbox is a brilliant tool for storing all your photos, docs, videos, and files with the great thing being that anything you add to Dropbox will automatically show up on all your devices plus direct from the Dropbox website — so you can access your stuff from anywhere!

Does your attitude stink?

Find, build and keep the attitude you need for a lifetime of success.

SurveyMonkey is a clear winner in the 'Process' category of the marketing mix's '7Ps'

I'd heard of SurveyMonkey some time ago but never really had reason to use it until today.  Being a keen equestrian, I'm on the committee of our local riding club as PR Officer and at our AGM this month when trying to decide what combination of training and events to put on next year, we thought 'why not ask the members what they want'!  Yes we're a little slow on the uptake but remember this is a social club not a business so I think we can be excused for not putting all the corporate tools in place here.
