The Benefits Of Using Commercial Storage For Your Home-Based Business

The Benefits Of Using Commercial Storage For Your Home-Based Business

Running a business from home has many advantages, including the ability to work in a comfortable environment, lower overhead costs, flexible working hours, plus no daily commute, however, there can be even more advantages available to a home-based business if it were to utilise storage space for rent.

Now, we are going to start on the basis that many, if not most, home-based businesses are run by one person and that they are not multi-million dollar entities that have unlimited capital to spend on what that business needs.

Instead, we will assume that most home-based business owners, even if successful, will always be looking for ways to reduce costs, increase profits, and operate in a manner that makes running their business more enjoyable, rather than seeing it as a daily chore. As such, we are going to look at how renting commercial storage space and the benefits of doing so can help a home-business owner achieve all of those goals.

Websites – are they needed by a business?

Many businesses have websites but many businesses still do not have a business website. What is the purpose of a website?
The main benefit of a business website is for someone to find out something about you and your company and/or your products which you carry before contacting you. Based on your website, it can give the impression if you are a large or small company and the types of services and products you provide. Are they needed to get new business? It depends. If you are providing a commodity such as a product or service, then it may help your business. However, if you are looking for a certain type of client, advertising may not work.

If you are looking for a financial planner for example, will you look up a name in an advertising directory or will go ask a friend and find one by way of a referral. Accountants are the same way. Some get 99% of their business by referrals. The customers who use for example Yellow Pages may not be the type of customer you want or may not be a customer who has any loyalty, they may be shopping purely for price and if someone is $1 cheaper, they will go to the next person.

Negotiating Business Contracts

Top 5 Tips For Negotiating Business Contracts

From the earliest days of mankind when cavemen would trade furs for food, until the modern-day, when multi-billion dollar deals are agreed in opulent board rooms, the art of negotiation has been employed. Whether it is the business owner negotiating the deal or their commercial lawyer, the desire to achieve a favourable outcome is uppermost in their minds.

Where these negotiations become especially detailed is when they get to the sharp end of proceedings and the contract itself is being negotiated. Bear in mind, the contract will be the legally binding agreement which both parties must adhere to so ensuring there is nothing in it that will cause problems for your business, is crucial.

Now, many a book and training course has been published on the art of negotiation so we are not going to pretend we can come anywhere close to teaching you negotiation skills from A to Z. However, here are our top 5 tips to make the negotiation of a contract more likely to favour you than not.

#1 Don’t Rush It

A contract negotiation is not a race to see how quickly it can be done, so slow it down and go at a pace you are comfortable with. Take time to understand everything that is being proposed and remember that a rushed decision is normally a poor decision.

Would You Build Your Own Car

Would You Build Your Own Car?

It’s a strange thought, isn’t it? Personally, I wouldn’t know where to start! There are so many little details and considerations that go into all the moving parts that make up an automobile.

That being said, even if someone gave me a DIY car kit and told me that all I had to do was add the steering wheel, seats, “Hello Kitty” seatbelts, awesome new headlights, and all the little flourishes that made me “me”, would it even be roadworthy?

Sounds pretty risky, and the RAC would probably laugh at me.

Wait, what’s this got to do with the web?
Right, yes, sorry.

The risk involved with building your own car is similar (I suppose) to building a website.

You could build your own website using any number of web builders these days, but is that what you do for a living? Do you know all the little pitfalls related to security, usability, accessibility, browser (in)compatibility, CSS, HTML, PHP, <include excruciatingly long list of buzzwords and terms here>…

No? I’m not a betting man, but I would wager that what you’re best at is running your business, and helping your customers. If you start devoting valuable time to building a website, have you compromised time you could’ve spent on other parts of your business?

5 Professional Resolutions to Try This Year

5 Professional Resolutions to Try This Year

We had a good break over the holidays here at Cybera Digital, and now we’re getting back into the swing of things!

We have some exciting new projects to launch, and a few other bits and pieces on the go, but it’s hard to achieve any of it and find that New Year enthusiasm without our strategy sessions and some good old-fashioned goal-setting!

Since our process has worked for us so far, we thought we’d share some concepts with you so that you could benefit from them too!

1. Strategy, strategy, strategy!
When we want to re-evaluate where we’re heading as a business, we always run a strategy session for ourselves. We generally do about 2 per year, and they always help re-focus and re-imagine how we see Cybera Digital helping our customers moving forward, and ways in which we can improve.

2. Setting realistic goals
As part of our strategy session we figure out what our goals are, and prioritise them by first determining how desirable the goal is, and then how achievable it is. This helps us to set realistic goals that we can achieve in the short-term, while still keeping an eye on our medium and long term goals.

Achieving your goals can sometimes be overwhelming, so if you ever feel as though you’ve come across a goal that needs to be resolved but just feels too big, it’s important to consider breaking it up into smaller (more manageable) tasks.
