THIS WEEK'S FOCUS
Increasing the number of customers frequenting your retail location or viewing your web site is important for several reasons:
1- All businesses lose customers constantly, due to moving, job loss, death, change in family status, or change in lifestyle choices.
2- You need to think about how to replace lost customers and incorporate your strategy as one of your DAILY business activities.
3- Getting new customers, and MORE customers, will lead to long-term business growth, both in revenues and in the value of your business.
Interested in getting more customers?
We'll take up this subject as well as addressing your current business needs at our weekly Coffee Conversation on Thursday and begin the process of developing a plan to take you and your business to the next level.
Our weekly Coffee Conversations at Updike's NewTowne are getting noticed and people are excited! There's always room for you, too!
We'll meet you this Thursday morning, February 18th at 8am to help small business owners who want to grow their sales and profits and also help those who want to start-up their own enterprise to get started right.
Updike's NewTowne Coffee Roasting Company and Cafe is located at 7726 Post Road in North Kingstown (across from the town's main Post Office). This is the sixth in a weekly series of coffee conversations to boost businesses in our community.
Have questions? Call me anytime at 401-667-0971.
See you soon-

Boost Your Gross Revenues in 2010
January is over already!
As you make your plans for February and beyond, now is the time to create a strategy for increasing your gross revenues. This is the idea of maximizing every selling and service opportunity and monetizing those opportunities.
First, you need to set a sales goal.
What are your gross sales goals for each day, week, and month?
Remember: If they're not written, they're not real.
Write your sales goals. Read them out loud. Make plans to succeed.
Second, review your list of products and services that offer the possibility for increased sales. What are you overlooking that could help produce new revenues?
Third, come to our Coffee Conversation this Thursday, February 4th at 8am at Updike's NewTowne Cafe and join us to discuss how you can meet your sales goals and your business's need for growth in 2010.
I can help keep you focused on your goals.
In the meantime, call me anytime at 401-667-0971.
Best wishes for a successful week-

Identifying New Paying Customers
Our first Coffee Conversation at Updike's NewTowne this past Thursday was a success!
We'll meet there again this Thursday morning, January 21st at 8am to again help small business owners who want to grow their sales and profits and also help those who want to start-up their own enterprise to get started right.
THIS WEEK'S FOCUS
One key for escaping the doldrums of recession is to expand your customer base. This means moving beyond the geographical and self-imposed limits you may have previously set for your business. There are worlds beyond South County, beyond Providence, and beyond our state and national borders.
Yes, for some businesses, retail for example, your location is vital---it is where your customers arrive and interact. But every business can and must re-examine their product and service lines and ask three important questions:
1- Do I have a product/service that people in other places might
find helpful for solving their problem or meeting a need?
2- Who are these people (and/or businesses) and where are they located?
3- How can I deliver my product/service to them?
We'll take up these questions at our weekly Coffee Conversation on Thursday and begin the process of developing a plan to take you and your business to the next level.
Only you---not government---can make your business grow. So, come with your passion and get ready to make things happen!! Join me in improving our community!

GROWING OUR ECONOMY
The end of 2009 is near---!
Growing our economy, but more importantly setting the stage for solid, strong and positive growth, is now our first priority. As an Economic Gardener, I will be preparing the soil and setting the stage for all those who dream to build on the vision of our founding fathers and those brave entrepreneurs who came before us.
In the next twelve months, I will be meeting and joining with the leaders of the next New Frontier in the Towns of North Kingstown and Exeter to build on the business education and civic pride of our business owners, their families, and our residents to create the basis for growth of our existing businesses, the creation of new businesses, and the education of the next generation of entrepreneurs who will lead us forward.
Are you interested in transforming the present into something even more exciting?
Please call me at 667-0971 or email me at annmariemarshall8@hotmail.com to begin a conversation, take action, and speed the plow that will till the soil to unearth exciting new possibilities for business and economic growth in our South County communities.
