How Can a Great Database Add Incredible Value to Your Small Business?
- Eliminates chaos
- Systematizes your information flow
- Increases efficiency
- Adds value to your business
- Generates more and more profit!
Reid Wilson suggests three ways small businesses can use their data base to reduce chaos and improve productivity:
1. Process Management: multi-step order fulfillment; a tracking process for your business.
2. Storage of important information: a data warehouse of customer contact information and order history – easy access!
3. Actionable reporting: an analytical database, where businesses can keep an eye on their key performance indicators (KPIs) over time. One database system that covers everything – keep all your info in ONE place for consistent updates.
Reid Wilson shares data base solutions that save the business owner time and frustration– and helps them be more systematized in their businesses. His database solutions offer freedom from chaos of not knowing where to locate information, or frustration from having the same information in too many places.
Eight key benefits of having a Great database:
- 1. Reduce complexity: Avoid flailing and endless spinning of wheels in a business -- the status of everything is no longer unknown or known only to a few.
- 2. Centralize information: With a great database, all of your business' key info is in one and only one place: You’ll no longer need to worry if you have the most current information, or if it’s been updated by someone somewhere else, or if the info they are searching for might be found if they look hard and long enough.
With a great database, everyone knows where to find the information they need at the moment they need it. And…it’s all synchronized to your outlook and team members! - 3. Increase productivity: It reduces the mundane, automate-able work – and empowers your team to do higher-value added work. Everyone increases their productivity and enjoys “mass prosperity."
- 4. Multiple access: Multiple people can access company information from multiple locations. All users don’t need to be in same physical location.
- 5. Owner and manager access: Management has the information they need to make the critical decisions, taking your business's marketing and operations to the next level: Track promotions (lets you test and adapt, test and adapt, test and adapt), Clarity on key questions (budget, customer service, production, shipping, lead conversion, re-order rate, sales and manages transactions. A great data base is also a marketing tool (track, test and measure your campaigns).
- 6. Automatic contact: Triggered email or phone “alert”, status message, or an emailed promotional piece keep customers and employees informed and on task.
- 7. Peace of mind: Quickly see what's going in your business. When things are out in the open, it’s much harder for anyone to hide things that aren’t going well.
- 8. Immediate ROI and long-term financial value of your business. When the knowledge in your business is captured outside of your head, your business becomes something that can be run or sold without your presence. It's an awesome investment!
