Make Your Small Business a "Fast" Business!
Efficient business systems and processes can put big bucks into your pocket, but increasing speed may not be what you think!
When it comes to business systems and processes, the right speed is most important. However, the right speed often means FAST! In a recent TV ad, Comcast invites business owners to "make your small business a fast business." Every small business owner should seek to deliver products and service as fast as required to exceed customer expectations and lead their market.
While fast sometimes means "on schedule," or "by a deadline," it always means, "I want it when I want it." The internet has become popular in part because most products are shipped same-day or within one business day. A few years ago, a local construction company built a house from the ground up in twenty-four hours. A company that could build a house in even thirty days would become a market leader!
Speed in business systems and processes, however, does not usually mean that workers have to work faster; they can only work so fast without creating quality problems. What you need to do is squeeze out the wasted time and delay that exists in nearly every business process. Eliminate the idle time that things are just sitting around waiting to be worked on!
By eliminating delay and improving efficiency, you will have happier customers and put more money on your bottom line.
Wishing You Prosperous Times,
