8 Furlong Consulting

I often remind clients that your only as good as your next client. While referrals and networking are great and recommended, by themselves, they typically are not enough for sustainable and predictable growth. However, that doesn't mean we throw dollars at everything in sight. To respect the dollars that you are about to spend, we must be able to Measure ROI and focus on campaigns that yield the most profitable results.

@followers Regardless of industry, there are always common denominators of successful organizations.  While there are others, these top 8 are generally what I examine first when assessing an organization.  In my opinion, these factors represent a basic foundation of future success.   Should you give your organization an honest assessment, how does your organization stack up against the best? #BusinessConsulting #BusinessCoach #BusinessManagement #SmallBusiness #BusinessAccounting #BusinessFinance #BusinessOperations #Marketing #Sales #Cashflows #Streamsofrevenue #ReoccuringRevenue #Process #IncentivePay #Passion #Leadership #Creativity #ClientAcquisition

Time is the enemy of every Small Businessperson! To quantify your dollar value of time, take what you want to make annually and divide it by 52! Assume a 5-day & 40-hour work week. Thus, divide that number again by 40 to determine your hourly wage. Once you have that figure, make sure the work you're doing is reflective of that hourly rate. If not, reconsider how you spend your day! In other words, if you're looking to make a significant income, stop doing minimum wage work! #BusinessConsulting #BusinessConsultant #BusinessManagement #8FurlongConsulting #Valueoftime #TimeisMoney #SmallBusiness #Operations #Sales #Marketing #Accounting #BusinessFinance
