3 Quick Tips for New Professional Organizers by Maria Gracia 1. BE BUDGET CONSCIOUS. You don't have to spend a lot of money to start or market your services. Beware of spending tons of money on stationery, business cards, advertising, etc., before you've defined your business--that means that you have decided who you're going to sell to, what services/products you're going to offer to them, how much your prospects are willing to pay, and how you're going to generate prospects and sales. Make your own business cards on your computer. Avoid full color brochures, and stick with plain, old reliable black and white for awhile. Use the free and low-cost marketing methods, before you begin paying for expensive advertising. 2. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED. Before you start charging people for your services, it's very important that you have experience in the service you're going to be providing, whether you're going to be doing an organizing job, or a workshop, etc. Do a few jobs for free to gain the experience. Read all the books you can on your area of expertise. Learn from other successful businesspeople. Believe me, no matter how many years you're in the business, you can never learn enough! 3. BE PREPARED TO WORK. There is no such thing as get-rich quick. If there was, everyone would be rolling in the dough. Your business is not going to be an overnight success. It takes time, determination, persistence and knowledge to grow a successful and profitable business. Click to Return to Article Index
