Absolutely. There is more to lose, but more to gain as well. I truly believe we need to get back to smaller company values for long term economic success. Thank you for your comments, Tabatha. You have a lovely name, by the way. Have a wonderful holiday.

You’ve got an interesting and informative article Susan. I can say that home based business has increasingly become a very popular way in which to earn a primary or secondary (or tertiary) income. The home can be an excellent launching pad for your own business.

This is an excellent article. We are a small plumbing company and we have experienced a big slowdown in the phone calls we receive with this downturn in the economy. However, we find that our previous customers are the ones that call us and keep us afloat. They know our company and know who will be coming out to take care of them. They trust our service and we are so very thankful for them.
I know that if we increase our internet marketing efforts we will bring in more new customers that will become repeat business for us. We have already begun to see that happen, thanks to the skilled help we are receiving with Zero to Sixty Marketing. We have only just begun!

Encouraging words, thank you! I can’t afford to generate dissatisfied customers, and I CERTAINLY can’t afford to ignore someone when they call. Recently I’ve been seeing to problems of billing with both the Cable company and the Insurance company — and losing large blocks of time with each round of phone tag and voice-mail menus alone. Fortunately for my Customers and myself, I also can’t afford a similar caller annoyance system!
I’ve also found that attentive customer service wins out over web-based, “outsourced” lowest bidders. We have a nice, wide niche available to us, by simply listening to people and helping to solve their problem.

Very interesting article. I’ll use your tips for sure. I was always convinced that the small business are less exposed to crisis than the big corporations. Also, home business means also less expenditures.
