Does Your Business Suffer In The Slow Times?
A recent conversation with a business owner I am consulting with said he was finding it difficult to fill his staffs time when the company was quiet, and he found it frustrating that he was paying wages for what seemed like no return.
The Big Question
‘What Should I Do When Business Is Quiet?’
We all suffer quiet periods from time to time throughout the year. It’s difficult to avoid in business, and very common. It is very easy to take the day off, let the staff play in the office, but a little careful planning and a rainy day to-do list can help you make money and save money!
Quiet Times Can Be Good
Here are 10 things you can do when business is a little quieter than usual, making the most of your time and that of your staff!
