Every business comes with ups and downs. Hard times and struggles. Good times and tough times. Here is a list of 4 strains in your business right now. 

Direction.  

Do you know where you are going? Most people would say yes. Some don’t know and most pretend to know. It Is Important to have a clear direction. You need to know what your business offers, where it offers, when it offers and most importantly how you offer it. An effective way to determine your direction is come up with goals and objectives of what you want to achieve and where you want to be. Make sure that these are S.M.A.R.T. goals. Once you have determined this you will need to strategize how you are going to achieve these goals. We recommend going over your goals and aims to see which are the most realistic and important to achieve and work towards these first.

This way you sell in such a soft way that you are merely informing of customers of what they need or problem they face, and how they can overcome this then an effective call to action will let them know that you can help with this.
