I've got in my mind 50-100% increase at least for the next 6 months.

We teach barista courses, roast coffee for coffee shops, restaurants etc and provide coffee equipment. Within 2 hours is very interesting. We can certainly do this, not a problem. :)

We are often very busy but because we use good technology we can respond really quickly. Sometimes within 10 minutes and there have been occasions where people were very surprised. Does everyone here share the view that it is always positive to respond quickly? Just wonder if it would make you look desperate.

Besides fast will make you standout in ways the big boys cannot copy..the CEO Brandon at http://www.shrinktheweb.com responds so fast that I love the guy...I have put a free shortcut on the website I am building on it without him asking. I tell everyone how he has the best client service I have ever seen. All because he responded too fast.. Youri does anyone ever go to Walmart and complain when they get service fast?

I'm a numbers man by default and love information to analyze. All I can say is that CRM's are cheap enough and robust enough now that every small business should invest in one. Here's to 2009. Jim,

I will be sharing this advice with my small business clients to make sure they are ready for 2009! I would echo Chris Kluis above, in that many small businesses have no tracking (of anything!) in place. Like you I am sure, highlighting this fact with my new clients, really does endear you to them! Great blog. Happy New year Jim. A great ‘back to basics’ post Jim.
