GET CONNECTED TIPS
Nifty ideas you can use to build a better business


Clean Ride

If you chauffeur clients around in your business vehicle, don’t risk making a bad impression. Be sure your auto is neat and clean. You don’t have to slave away at the local car wash to put a shine on your ride. Check with car washes that do the work for you. Many offer business accounts that give you breaks on prices for regularly scheduled washes and waxes.


Collection Matters

For many small-business owners, accounts receivables is the top cash flow problem. Yet slow paying or no paying customers can be encouraged to send their payments on time. Use every communication tool at your disposal to collect overdue accounts. Collection letters sent via snail mail are a good start. But don’t stop there if you don’t get paid. Try one or all of these communication methods:

  • Faxes

  • Telephone calls

  • Priority or express mail

  • Certified mail

  • E-mail

  • Courier

  • Overnight delivery

  • Even telegrams
