Spring is upon us; the season of rebirth, growth, and optimism! There's no better time to give your business a positive boost, so here are five simple ways to set yourself up for success this spring!

So you’ve done it: you started your own business. You’ve taken the leap. The next steps can be as exciting as they are terrifying but now that your organization has taken off, it and you will need to adapt on the fly. The name of the game is efficiency and that means spending money on the things you need and saving on the things you don’t.

Blogging began as a form of expression, an outlet for the online community to release their frustrations and joy into the universe. Channeling our thoughts and feelings via the written word has long been used to produce a cathartic effect, and blogging began as a public platform to do so. Since its inception, however, blogging has grown into something much bigger. Blogs are no longer merely an expression of thoughts; they now play an important role in business in terms of building, branding and promoting your company.

Many important facets of your business, from sales to team communication to customer retention, rely on building strong relationships. Whether you are providing exceptional customer service, facilitating a productive meeting or workshop, or hiring a new employee, your ability to create genuine connections will set you and your business apart!

Onboarding new employees is a necessity for all organizations, but sometimes it can feel like a drag. It doesn’t have to be that way! Of course, your new employees need to get trained and get comfortable with the way your business operates, and there are a lot of logistics to figure out as well. At AdvantEdge, we do our best to take as many of these worries of your plate as we can, so that your staff doesn’t miss a beat and the new team member is up to speed in no time.
