Now is the time to be sure you get a running start at 2020 and have your best year ever with my best 15 Quick Tips for a profitable new year.

Before getting into Dave’s best 15 Quick Tips, here’s a great customer service tip that will help you differentiate yourself from the competition: On your way to an appointment, always send a quick text to confirm the appointment and to ensure that somebody is home. It’s a great way to communicate with your customers. Offer to pick up a cup of coffee for them on your way over.
Quick Tip #1 – Get a plan. Figure out where you want to be at the end of 2020. Use Dave’s 1-Page Business Plan available as a FREE download on his website to help you get started on the process of planning.
Quick Tip #2 – Keep things simple, but be consistent. Checklists are helpful.

Quick Tip #3 – What do you do? And who do you do it for? Don’t try to do everything. Look at where you’re making your money and focus on that. “The riches are in the niches.”
Quick Tip #4 – Focus on profitability and increasing your margin. You don’t have to be the biggest guy in town, but you do want to be the most profitable.
Quick Tip #5 – Know your numbers. Measure your results, because what gets measured, gets improved.
Quick Tip #6 – Education and training. Always be learning. Always be training your people, teaching them new skills. Learn how to sell, and train your sales team.
Quick Tip #7 – Protect your time. Don’t forget your systems and processes, which can help you streamline your time.
Quick Tip #8 – Learn to be a good delegator. This frees you up to do what’s really important, which is planning your business and running it like you should. Make sure to train your people and assign responsibility. Then, follow up and provide regular feedback.
