Tech Talk: Top tips to grow your business with Microsoft
Technology alone cannot make your business grow.
The quality of what you do and how much you care about your business is what determines your success.
But what technology can do is, streamline your processes, keep you better connected and free you up to do more of what you do best. By selecting the right technology today and learning the neatest hints and tips to get the very best out of it will help you set yourself up for a better day tomorrow, and the foreseeable future.
We recently invited a group of small business owners to Microsoft: they got heaps of valuable advice from growth experts, networked with each other and most important of all, talked about what tools they use to do business well.
We found that most of you know what you need to do to grow your business, but have little understanding of the best tools and technology to help you do this quickly, and without taking too much time out of everyday business to achieve growth.
Think big: you are what you use
‘Show yourself as professional across the board,’ advised attendee, Beatrice Garcia-Martinez.
You might have your networking skills and business card sorted, but have you thought about what your technology is telling people?
If you haven’t planned for growth then how much faith are you really demonstrating in your business?
First things first. Get yourself a credible domain- registered email address and a professional looking website with Microsoft Office 365 , Microsoft’s Office in the Cloud.
Not only do you get a smart looking email account, but you can send and receive messages whenever and wherever you are, helping you appear responsive and capable. You can also get unlimited online meetings with Skype for Business so you can contact your suppliers, partners, employees and customers in one simple click.
