It’s 9:01am you’re open for business… Yes?
At this time in the morning many are open and ready to go, but there are those that seem to not get in ’til later… It sets me to wondering what business was like for them say… yesterday. Did they not get enough people in the door that they felt it’s not worth it? They have checked over the last week or forty and found no one comes in before 11am so why bother being there?
It takes a lot of things to be good in business and one of them is attitude, if the 9am start begins to fade, then what else might be fading too
I thinks its an opportunity lost and think they need to consider what else they can do in that time. The books, ordering, secretarial outsourced work (an hour or two a day of that sort of thing could be useful.)
It comes down to money, if you are not making any (or enough) to pay the way then you are not doing well in business and so a tough decision needs to happen, but I guess first off is recognising the challenge you face and then being able to take action on it.
So if you walked into your business late this morning take inventory… of yourself and where your business is headed.
P.S. I thanked a business the other night for being open past 5:30 (they stay open until 7pm) as I didn’t have to rush to get there. so refreshing when a store has figured out that customers matter!
Stumble it!
