Online Management Systems, Make Your Business More Profitable, and Get on the Green Band Wagon
hy is every fortune 500 company marketing itself as Green?
Going green is no longer just a fashionable cause or even simply a political movement. Going green is a call to action for any business that wants to compete in the global marketplace today.
Customers demand an environmental awareness and at the same time they expect the best value. Now that the world is at their fingertips customers will not budge on either of these issues. Tough economic times just drive home the point that waste is not welcome in people’s day-to-day microeconomics.
We are a small company. Why is going green something we even need to be concerned with?
In order for small and medium companies to survive in this demanding new business environment you must adapt to the market place. In short, you must employ large company tactics to reducing your overhead, increasing your productivity, and eliminate your dependency on paper and ink products. It is the business equivalent of dressing for the job you want.
Defining areas of improvement
In small companies, people often overlook the complexity of business and things end up happening to them rather than them making things happen. For example, they may focus all their efforts on sales until they land a new big costumer and then scramble all hands on deck to fill their order while sales take a back seat.
The customer-facing activities or the Front Office seems to always be out of sink with the behind-the-scenes stuff knows as the Back Office.
Once you realize what is happening to you as a business, you can document it. The most amazing thing happens once you white board your processes. The things that are in need of improvement almost jump out at you.
