TOTW 013: Doing Business Right – Lessons From the Road

Sometimes it really is just doing business right that will bring you success. It’s really surprising how many just don’t do the basics of business right.

While traveling to Canada and back over the last month, I took note of which businesses we used and which we avoided. Which ones we would use again and which ones we would not.

There are lessons to be learned in how we choose businesses when out of town.

When we travel we have no prior knowledge of the gas stations, restaurants, hotels, etc. So we have to go off word of mouth or other instincts to make decisions.

It is extremely important to use all the resources available for your customers to find you online. Make sure all info is filled out with pictures and lots of reviews.

This can make or break your business!
