76. Build your database of prospects – scan Yellow Pages, world wide web, and if you can afford it, but a list from a company like List Bank. Then use the list! Communicate regularly – once a week, once a month. You work out what is best for your small business and what your prospects are receptive to. Try using www.constantcontact.com for distribution.

77. Join an e-mail list or online forum related to your profession. Post questions and answer questions.

78. Identify a new market segment (niche) that would use your product or service

79. Use Free Press Release distribution services online to distribute your next press release. You never know who may pick it up

80. Always carry business cards with you

81. Take good care of your current customers and slot in times within the month to make direct contact with them even if it is to ‘chew the fat’

82. Link to customer and friends websites and ask them to link back. This will improve your google ranking

83. Offer a premium service. People are happy to pay more for a better product or service. It increases your margins and will improve customer satisfaction

84. Turn your twitter account into a ‘real time’ newsletter. Get everyone to participate

85. Syndicate an article in Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, iSnare.com – they have highly ranked sites and quality traffic

87. Put links to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube on all electronic communications including your blogs, emails, and website

88. Provide incentives to all staff including non-sales or client facing staff to bring in new clients. Money always works!
