Start Communicating

What is it that companies usually fall short of? You may answer money, but a lack of communication probably came before the lack of money. For many small companies not communicating frequently or in a relevant matter just comes down to time, particularly for service based business.

So here's something to think about if you aren't communicating regularly with your customers or communicating with new people to find new customers: it's time to stop and carve out some time to get on top of the problem.
