Moving Your Business Forward in a Down Economy
A successful business is one that is able to move quickly and adapt to change. With swift responses to changing situations, a successful business will remain successful even in a down economy, like the one we are living through today. These tips will help your business to continue moving forward and growing in any situation.
- The Customer is King. Your customers are your most valuable asset. You spent time, energy and expense to acquire them. Don’t let a negative experience or competitor steal them out from under you. Do everything you can to ensure that every interaction is a positive one. Take the time to interact with your customers through social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Yelp. Knowing what your customers are saying about you, both positive and negative, will help you to know where you are succeeding, and possibly failing, as a business. Do everything in your power to fix any areas where your customer service isn’t up to par.
- Know the Competition. This is closely related to knowing your customer. You need to know your competition inside and out because your customer likely does. Ensure that you are aware of their product and service developments, what their customers are saying about them and how your company compares. Keeping up on the competition is as easy as reading trade journals, following them on Twitter and setting up Google Alerts.
- Engage Your Customer. When you invest your time and energy to start talking to your customers via social media, resist the urge to SELL, SELL, SELL! It is essential that you provide them with a service in addition to your product, or you will quickly turn your customers off. Provide them with interesting tips, relevant information, some kind of additional content that goes beyond what they would expect to see about your product or service. Become a partner with your customer, a resource for information, and they will look forward to hearing from you.
- Know When to Spend. This is the trickiest point of all. When the economy slows down it is only logical to tighten your budgets and not spend as much. But when things start to turn around, it is time to start making small spending choices. When business starts to improve make strategic decisions about adding staff, widening product lines or purchasing equipment. Adding a part time or freelance person can offer the added help you need without the commitment of a full time employee. Adding one or two additional products can give your line the freshness and lift it needs. Making those strategic decisions are essential to future success.

Tips from the Book “Secrets of Small Business Owners Exposed”

- Create and communicate your organizational clarity. Clear roles and responsibilities within your company are necessary. Articulate your vision.
- Someone has to be in charge. Decide where the buck stops. When there is shared responsibility, there is no responsibility.
- Find Your Focus. Be focused on your company’s direction. Pay special attention to the financial side of your business.
- Plan, Plan, Plan. There is no substitute for planning. Prior preparation prevents a pretty poor performance.
- Develop Systems. As FedEx says, “Systemize the routine; humanize the exception.”

- Think, Think, Think. Never stop thinking about ways to be different, innovative, creative and exclusive. Make your business the best it can be.

Quick Tips for Growing Your Business
There are no two ways about it, opening a business and growing from start up to established is challenging. If you are a hard working business owner, you are always looking for ways to draw attention to your business, draw in new clients and grow your business affordably.
Here are some quick tips to get you started.
- Know Your Target – It doesn’t do any good to go out and pitch your product or service to someone who has no interest or need for it. You must know your target audience. Is your target young or old? Male or female? Are they driven to buy by price, quality or as early adopters of new technology? Before you start selling, you need to know who you are selling to and what will entice them to buy or engage in your service.
- Invest in Advertising – Advertising comes in many shapes, sizes and forms these days. Embrace traditional forms such as newspaper, radio and TV, as well as new forms such as social media, email blasts and Pay Per Click. Evaluate your budget, know what you can afford and what your target market is most likely to respond to. Keep your message clear and concise, and don’t forget a call to action!
- Embrace the Online World – You can use the internet to build buzz for your business. With a well designed and actively updated website, you can keep your clients and customers engaged with your product or service. Consider whether your business can benefit from social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
- Looks Matter – Whether it is a blog post, magazine ad or flyer, image does matter. Make sure your copy is clean of errors and that your images are clear and concise. Leave some white space on the page so the eye can rest. A page cluttered with images and graphics will be too distracting to accurately convey your message.

Effective communication between office staff and our clients has always been a hallmark of the service Regent Business Centers provides. We strive to deliver our clients an exceptional office experience that allows them to manage their business without having to worry about the daily tasks of running an office. Our eTenant Care System enables the Regent team and our clients to easily communicate with each other, while we fulfill each client need quickly and efficiently.
RBC clients enjoy the flexibility that the eTenant Care System provides them. Through this innovative system, RBC clients are able to:
- Schedule conference room space

- Request assistance with professional secretarial, word processing and delivery services
- Order catering services
- Request additional phone lines for their offices
- Request IT support
- Inform the RBC team of any maintenance issues that arise
With eTenant Care, clients are able to take advantage of and manage the use of all the amenities that Regent Business Centers offer. When using the eTenant Care System, a ticket is opened notifying both the client and the Regent team of the request. That ticket remains open, as a reminder to both parties, until the specific task has been completed.
The eTenant Care System is also used as the primary communications portal for the Regent management team. All memos and correspondence to our clients are delivered via email through the eTenant Care System. This allows our management team to notify our clients of building closures, facilities upgrades, emergency notifications and any other items that clients may need to be made aware of.
Our clients find great value in the eTenant Care System. Robert Tessier, of Tessier Mediation at our Woodland Hills Center, said, “With the eTenant Care System recently instituted, it has become even easier to have all your business needs accommodated. I highly recommend RBC to the busy professional. The people at Regent Business Centers are the best. They are always happy to help you and your clients, and project a professional yet friendly demeanor.”
