As a business owner, whether small or larger, you need a team of people to support and provide you with the business services to successfully operate and grow. Despite how good we believe we are, reality knows the truth. There are professional in appropriate industries that you need to have on you team. Whether these people are in-house employees or utilized in an as needed basis.
These individuals or even groups should be business partners who are willing to put some skin in the game to assist you with your eventual success. National ComTel has spoken with a vast community through out the country and many people have responded back with good suggestions as to who you may need to be acquainted with not only for an active business, but before you open your doors. They should be willing to educate, (not sell) on why you may need these or their industry on your team.
We are in the process of collecting this valuable data, (list of industries and why) you need to be pre-educated. For instance, before you move into a new office, have you researched that location for Internet availability? Too many businesses call us afterward asking for help… We signed a three year lease agreement but there is no Internet access. Nine out of ten times we can assist them, but there can be a cost because the customer did not do their due diligence before hand. These industries can work with you so that you are better prepared and read to open your doors.
