Hi, there it’s Joshua Feinberg from SmallITBusiness.com and I’m hear to talk with you today about small IT business start up gain plan for avoiding distractions. We’re going to talk about how to come up with the game plan for small business IT start up and how can you avoid distraction when you’re first getting in your small IT business off the ground in particular. How can you protect your business and really stay on track because if you’re going to start. I’ll start up small IT business. You need a game plan for zeroing in and identifying free loaders that can threaten your business and kind of get rid of them before they do any damage.

Hey I hate to be the better or bad news but knowing how to get rid of destructions is really, really important to your ultimate success. Freeloaders, moochers, time vampires – whatever you choose to call them it’s no laughing matter. I’m laughing this because of what we’re calling them but the reality is these people can really, really divert all your business. They can drain your time and energy and take your focus away from selling services to legitimately interested small business prospects that can become the life blood of your small IT business. So it looks like a three tasks that you can be your game plan for your start up, so you can protect yourself against dangerous freeloaders.

First and foremost you need to identify the cost of the problem. Where does the whole free load of problems start when it comes to moochers for your IT business? It starts when prospects have unrealistic expectations about what professional IT services is all about and how lot it shall cost. You have to be able to convince your prospective clients that hiring your business is an investment and not an expense.

Provide proof that the tangible benefits of what you’re delivering are greater than any out of pocket cost. Focus on things like return that investment. Like for example you may be proposing a project that’s $5000.00, however, four months after installing that new project your client will break even and eight months later. The beach $12,000.00 ahead of the game, that’s the kind of discussion, the kind of case that is a kind of testimonials that you need to bring to the table. This proof should generally, you know it can be case studies and it can be testimonial weathers, testimonial videos, and client references.

You know prospective clients are generally not going to be investing your services, if they thing its more expensive than the benefits of work so of course first and foremost identify the cause of the problem that’s usually bad marketing. It’s usually a lack of effective marketing proof or social proof that shows that your prospects that without a doubt that you provide is caused a lot less than what its worked.

Second, focus on those that already outsource professionally being the bit of services. When you’re selling highly specialized services, you’re sales and marketing message needs to be very different than those of your competitors to highlight what makes you unique. To tip the scales in your favorite and avoid freeloaders that awaits your time, look for small business decision makers that are already used to paying your professional bid of the services such as small business that have already have a relationship with an accounting firm, or law firm, or public relation firm, or ad agency, or marketing consulting. Why because this small business owners have already been broken in and have already been trained, they already are used to investing in very high risk called high value, outsource professional services.

So hiring you and your company as an IT specialist will not seem like all that for a fetcher and I am not necessary expense that we have on the web and I feel its’ the second. Focus on that small businesses that already used to outsourcing professional be to be services and third make sure that you work and you have a much easier time and to be a lot more efficient and profitable for your small IT business. If you go after qualified leads and prospects than you will if you try to take unqualified leads and talk to them until you’re blue in the face trying to give in some that they need. And what you have and it’s very, very difficult to take someone who should be in the Guinness Book of World’s Records as the world’s biggest mooch. And try to convince them to prior up on their wallet in your local area alone there are probably tons and hundred maybe even thousands of qualified leads and prospects with very real IT needs that are used to paying for professional outsource services and a pretty to less to the expectations about what they should pay for those services.

So make sure that you narrow down your focus you cannot sell everyone it’s very, very expensive and a huge race to time to try to sell that to everyone and you need to narrow down your definition of what your target market is. And recognize the telltale signs of clueless-ness so you can focus your efforts on those small business decision makers that get what your value proposition is all about.

So in this short video we’ve talked about talked about three ways to avoid wasting time on moochers, time vampires and juries and control freaks because you wanted to be focusing on those that are used to paying for outsource beat the beat for professional services.
