July 9, 2015

In tough economic times, many small businesses are forced to cut cost by laying off workers, decreasing travel and marketing efforts, and delaying raises and bonuses. Small business owners are looking for ways to increase profitability while making do with fewer workers and resources.

Technology can help you increase your efficiency and productivity. With so many devices and software packages on the market, it can be difficult to know where to invest your money. Here are some tips.

Technology can improve communications for a business. Virtual phone systems can route calls to employees who work out of the office. Instant messaging and email can enable employees and customers to communicate in writing to keep records of those conversations.

If your employees have to spend a good deal of their time searching for reports, forms, or the data they need to do their jobs, you can save them time and improve their productivity by investing in network hardware and software to keep track of that information.

For many small businesses, it is not necessary for all employees to work in office everyday. By allowing your employees to telecommute from home, you can reduce the amount of office space you need, which can lower your operating costs.

Customer relationship management software can help your small business manage your database of clients and prospects. Many small business owners have found that the larger their mailing lists, the more money they earn. Companies use many types of software, including ACT, Goldmine, and Sales Force, to track their clients and leads.
