  9. According to communications consultant and coach Lauree Ostrofsky, “what you say will either turn people onto your business, turn people off or, worse, leave no impression at all. The key is to have a clear idea about what needs to be said immediately and what can be said later, once you have their attention.”

  10. You want to be dressed appropriately especially when meeting people for the first time. The most important clothing you need to own is a good suit. This is an investment so don’t skimp on quality. Look for something in a dark neutral color such as navy blue, gray or black. Make sure it is tailored well for a proper fit. Wear it any time you are seeing someone for the first time and for any meetings regarding finances. The good news is that by switching around your shirt and tie (or blouse, depending on your gender) you can create a number of different looks. One suit is enough to start with. Reduce your limited budget by reducing quantity, not quality.

  11. Requirements for any solution should include the ability for you to access your information from anywhere, at anytime, from anyplace in a secure fashion. With basic technology like remote access and mobile computing, it is no longer necessary to rush back to the office at the end of the day or on the weekends to catch up on email or access time sensitive information that you don’t have with you.

  12. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Make it a point to find the best possible prices without sacrificing quality. Try to find ways to save money anywhere you can and remember to not let your feelings get involved when making the decision to switch. It’s a business decision.

  13. Establish a small-business network.Explore the idea of connecting with local businesses that would be open to bundling products and services, bartering or co-marketing. This may also open other doors and create opportunities.
