As the small business theme of my latest blog posts continues, here are more helpful tips for your biz!
If you want to get bigger and better results for your business, one thing you can try is making your business look bigger and better than it really is. Making your business look bigger than it is might seem dishonest, but you don’t need to lie. You simply need to create the illusion of a larger, more successful business.
Below, we will discuss what you can do to make your business look 10x the size. Take a look!
Get A Business P.O Box
You can start making your business look bigger than it is right now by getting a P.O box. Using a virtual mailbox like physicaladdress.com will keep your identity and true address safe, while making your business look bigger and more professional. This is actually something small business owners do all the time for convenience and security.
Get A Professional Phone Number
Next, you can look into getting a professional phone number. It sounds odd, but you can literally lose credibility if you start calling from your mobile or even your house number. You want to look as professional as possible, and for this you a professional phone number definitely helps. You can grab a free one from Fongo Works!
Give Yourself A Different Job Title
Calling yourself the CEO or director will leave people wondering why you don’t have other people doing things like calling, following up on leads, and sending emails out for you. Giving yourself a slightly different job title will make it look like your business actually has more employees.
Focus On Properly Branding Your Business
Making sure your business has strong branding will instantly make it look more trustworthy and credible. Make sure you have a proper website – not one you have designed yourself. It should be built to your specifications, belong to you, and be easy to update. Working with a professional company is extremely important for this. It can be tempting to try it yourself or to see if you can save money, but you’ll future proof your website against future changes and look more professional by spending more now.
You’ll also need things like a great logo, a suitable color scheme (color’s can really reflect a mood), and a brand voice. As you come up with your ideas, make sure you know exactly who you’re speaking to and what sort of personality will resonate with them. Giving your brand a brand personality is a great way to make sure it resonates.
You should also spend some time putting together a fun and engaging brand story. Why do you do what you do?
Hire A Virtual Assistant
Finally, a virtual assistant can help you to do any tedious admin jobs, such as taking messages and replying to emails. Nobody needs to know that they are a virtual assistant, and you’ll have so much more time on your hands to focus on only what you can do. Not only that, you won’t have to commit to anything, as a virtual assistant is often hired on a freelance basis. (My VA is fucking fantastic, FYI, but you can’t have her ha!)
