If you haven't already, don't forget to move your clocks forward one hour tonight! We're springing forward (still). Try to go to bed an hour earlier so you're not too tired in the morning!

From our blog: Business Consulting Strategies One of the things I enjoy most when consulting with a business owner or executive is the discovery process. With the right questions, it's possible to drill down quickly and pick some of the key issues the client is wrestling with. The discovery process determines ways to overcome what's holding their company back. Some typical issues are: staffing, expansion, finances, potential partners and leads. It's great when you have a few ...issues because you can select the most important ones. It takes a good Consultant to uncover the most important pieces of this puzzle. Asking the right questions, leads to understanding the biggest challenges the owner faces. As entrepreneurs we all have things that are bothering us or holding us back and by hiring a Consultant who has been through the battles, it becomes easier to determine the best solutions.

From our blog: Case Study - Retail and Impacts of Covid-19 Asset Consulting has been involved with a number of retail clients over the years. The impacts felt from Covid-19 have been difficult, to be sure. In many cases, the initial downside from this pandemic caused retail to all but shut down operations. Like most of us, retail businesses had no idea this would go on so long. It appeared initially that if we were able to weather a couple of months, things would turn around.... As it turned out of course, the pandemic is still with us a year later and many retail outlets have found a way to cope with this new reality. Unfortunately there have been very difficult circumstances and many stores and restaurants just could not survive. I was on a Chamber of Commerce Zoom meeting a year ago and a few owners were very concerned they could not survive for a long time. One year later, I'm relieved to say that those owners have indeed survived and have adapted to the new reality of distancing and masks.

From our Blog: More Sales Concepts Following our recent blog about Hiring Sales Account Managers, this blog covers how much the internet has changed. Products and services are bought today in different ways, more than ever before. Covid19 has changed (maybe forever) how people's buying patterns work. Think of Amazon ten years ago and compare it to today where it has become a behemoth of sales. Products and services have been commoditized and even the financial transaction h...appens instantaneously via PayPal, Square or by e-Transfer.
