There’s a general rule of thumb that when you’re counting down to a deadline, you’ll see a lot of things on your calendar that you can’t do that are otherwise too stressful. For instance, just like how in life we get a lot of things done, in business, too many things are done wrong.
For instance, it takes a lot of time to get your office and your customers to agree on a pricing structure. Like most things, if you overwork your clients, even a little bit, youll find yourself having to negotiate with them and adjust your pricing. That means youll have to keep your costs down and get your business to work more efficiently, which will mean less time for you to waste in the office.
The only way to get your office and your customers to agree on a pricing structure is to have them sign contracts. Like most things, if you don’t have a contract in place then you can’t get your office to work efficiently. But as the saying goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Contracting is a very common way to cut costs in a business, especially in the retail sector. But in the case of retail, you don’t negotiate the fees when you open a store, you just charge whatever the store wants. At least that is what I think was the case for the last time I tried to negotiate a discount with a big box store. I could not get them to budge.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a business owner, is not negotiating with your client. You need to be as flexible as possible so you can offer an acceptable solution. For retailers, this means having a very clear written contract that details all the terms and conditions that you both agree on. This is very similar to the legal documents that you must have when you open a business. When you are a business owner, you are working for yourself, and you are responsible for your actions.
For retailers, this is especially important. Not only do you have to be able to communicate with your customer, you also need to be able to communicate with the customers. If you don’t, you simply have no customers and no business. Think about it this way: You just got your car repaired.
