January 22, 2021 5 min read Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Entrepreneurs need to be a number of things: persistent, resourceful, creative and tolerant to risk. But, do they need to be good writers? Many would say no, defining âa good writerâ as someone who can spell and knows the difference between your and youâre. Others would simply say that someone else can write content for their business if needed. However, being a good writer yourself can put you at an advantage â and this means not just becoming good at basic grammar and spelling, but being able to express yourself in an interesting, engaging and unique way.

In an age where autocorrect and spelling tools are so easily accessible, it appears even lazier than ever if your writing isnât clean. Correct spelling and clean writing will make you seem professional and give you more authority with your audience. Beyond baseline credibility, good writing is also a very powerful tool. If you learn not just to write correctly, but to write well, you can employ rhetorical skills that will make you more convincing in emails, general copy and more. Learning simple tenets like using active voice, writing with brevity and clarity and organizing your ideas can increase the effectiveness of anything you write. You can put yourself out there and expand your influence If youâre a good writer, you can start putting your ideas out there and establish yourself as a thought leader. You can write blogs and articles, create videos and even write a book. Content is everything these days, and with these skills, you can tell your story and share your knowledge. The best part is, you can do it yourself. You donât have to hire an editor, ghostwriter or content creation team. Often with a team or collaborator, they have to get to know you, your story and your style, which takes a long time â or your content simply sounds inauthentic. You know yourself and your area of expertise best. If you can write about it well, youâre set. Related: Here's What You Need to Become a Genuine Thought Leader in Your Industry Good writing applies to everything As an entrepreneur, business owner and human, you are always writing and communicating.

Create all kinds of content Lastly, the best way to get better at writing is by actually doing it. Set a goal to create one piece of content every week or every other week, whether itâs a blog, an Instagram post or a video. Then, keep up this content creation on a consistent basis.

Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin By Matt Doyle, VP and Co-Founder of Excel Builders, a truly unique custom home builder, creating homes that make every day easier. Getty Selling products and services is challenging at the best of times, but itâs even harder when thereâs an economic recession, pandemic, or any other national or global hardship occurring. This is a difficult issue for me because I work in the custom home construction industry. All homes are big-ticket purchases, and people are especially reluctant about these kinds of purchases when there isnât much economic certainty. Thatâs why Iâve found it necessary to develop sales tactics that are effective even when the future doesnât look its brightest. The following three methods have helped me keep my business afloat through some of the hardest times. Serve your current customers and prospects first. Developing new customers is very tough in a recession. Thatâs why itâs important that you focus your efforts on keeping the people who have already decided that your products have value. Increase the amount of attention that you give to people who have already responded to your advertising or purchased your products by doing any of the following: ⢠Send a follow-up message to people who have reached out but havenât taken the next step. MORE FOR YOU More Lockdown Support For U.K. FirmsâBut Many Self-Employed And Small Businesses Miss Out Europeâs Top Investors Reveal Whatâs Next For European Tech In 2021 Ten Lessons The Year 2020 Is Desperately Trying To Teach Us ⢠Send thank-you messages to people who have recently placed orders or signed up for subscriptions. ⢠Ask customers if they have experienced any issues with the product or services, and help them out if they need to handle any errors or warranty issues. Word-of-mouth is one of the most effective forms of advertising in even the best of times, but in economic downturns, it may be the only type of marketing that reaches nervous buyers. Focusing on your current customers helps you invest in this type of marketing. Focus on the long-term value of your products. No recession lasts forever. This is the message that you need to take to your customers. You need to find ways to highlight the long-term value of your products and make the case that having them now (rather than later) is beneficial. This can be tricky and highly dependent on the type of product that you are selling. Here are some examples of how to apply it: ⢠If you sell advertising or promotional services, focus on how much it matters to keep advertising while other competitors are cutting back. This can net you some long-term gains. ⢠If you sell consumer goods, focus on the value of being a trendsetter or an early adopter. Be wary of cutting your prices. It may seem like common sense to slash your prices during a recession. However, doing so could have some serious consequences when it comes to your brand. First, cutting prices suggests that your products were overpriced in the first place. If youâve worked hard to develop the value of your brand and products, the last thing you want to do is to make that value look like an illusion. Second, cutting prices signals to your customers that it may be risky to buy in the short term. Now, everyone who bought in before the price cut looks like they made their purchases too quickly. The rest may wonder if the prices will drop even lower if they just wait it out. There is an alternative to cutting your prices that wonât alienate your current customers or damage your brand: Adjust your offerings. Condense your products or services into packages that contain essential parts, and pass on savings that way. Sell yourself wisely during hard times. Now you know how you can sell your products more effectively when the market isnât looking its best. Remember to serve the loyal customers you already have and focus on the value you offer in the long term, and donât damage your brand by prematurely slashing prices.

COVID-19 has challenged every personal and business systems we assumed were unshakeable, and experts warn that, even as portions of the population begin vaccination, the economy remains far from immune. Yet for all the disruption, heartache and loss the virus has inflicted on the world, there are some silver linings for todayâs businesses. Related: How Will Covid-19 Impact the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs? Broken beliefs, better adaptability As old habits are breaking down, people are becoming less skeptical about new services and forming new game plans. On the enterprise side, this is having a major influence on operations. One of the best and most obvious examples of this is with remote work. What is not always obvious is its ramifications in the way companies run their business. How they sell, how they market their services and products and how they set up and manage the whole value chain. It's all fertile terrain for innovation. Some businesses admittedly are having better results working remotely than others due to industry advantages or the way theyâre going about things. Many are saying itâs not hurting productivity, while others arenât sure if itâs sustainable. But leaders are at least willing to make allowances in ways they never did in the past, which might lead them to more efficient, enjoyable processes for the long term -- and create opportunities for those who help them along the way. An environment ripe with new opportunities Before the pandemic, entrepreneurs tended to gravitate around certain areas. They congregated in these locations largely because they were really strong in both tech academia and the availability of venture capital. At the same time, theyâd stick close to home when looking for co-founders. Working together in metaphorical garages was the norm. Entrepreneurs typically sat in the same location when they hired their teams. All of this has changed. With people becoming more open-minded, developing new habits in many areas, and diving into new ways of living and working, walls that used to exist and prevented people from working together just arenât there anymore. This has created an incredibly fertile terrain for entrepreneurs. They understand what people are facing and there are rich opportunities for new partnerships. Opportunities extend to mentoring and building your team, as well. There are still big startup clusters around certain areas. But with such a huge adoption of remote work and digital transformation, people are realizing that they can work with anybody from anywhere. Thereâs a different mentality surrounding where to find talent and workers are more willing to work for companies anywhere in the world. People have a wonderful chance to connect more emotionally with people on a global level and to find a much more cohesive fit.

Having a purpose is becoming more important, no matter which generation you identify with. This creates a great background context for social impact. People who are reconsidering how they lived are finding new products and services that are more closely connected to their sense of purpose.

While this may feel like hitting a brick wall for some, the reality is not nearly so harsh.

These days, businesses are constantly pumping out new products that make it easier to achieve your business goals, but few can cut your workload in half â or more. Marketing templates can slash the time you spend on developing ad campaign infrastructure, instead allowing you to get straight into the nitty-gritty of the process.

Marketing templates may not be a new development, but theyâre often underused, misused, or just not used at all. Successfully implementing one into your marketing model can save your team more time than previously thought possible â all while working well within your budget.

Here are three steps you can follow to boost your security and keep scammers at bay. Entrepreneur's New Yearâs Guide Let the business resources in our guide inspire you and help you achieve your goals in 2021. January 14, 2021 3 min read Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. As a small business owner, you have many responsibilities to uphold to keep your company running efficiently. One of them is ensuring you have sufficient security measures in place to protect organizational and employee data from fraudulent scams. Unfortunately, online scams are becoming increasingly pervasive: as of 2018, 82% of businesses reported experiencing a form of fraud. While these findings indicated that large enterprises were at a particularly high risk, small businesses were not exempt from these attacks, which is why itâs more important than ever to protect your small business against fraud. Here are three steps you can follow to boost your security and keep scammers at bay. Educate Yourself Knowledge is power. With this in mind, the first step in protecting your small business against fraud is to inform yourself of what types of fraud may target your enterprise. Some of the most common small business fraud scenarios include payroll fraud, cash theft, online banking, and false invoicing. Itâs also vital to research the dire consequences such schemes can have on your small business. In many ways, fraudulent activity has the capacity to destroy your business. The financial losses are often significant, partnersâ and clientsâ level of trust in your organization are likely to plummet, and your companyâs overall reputation could be significantly tainted.

Be sure to hold regular training sessions on common security threats (both online and offline) as well as prevention techniques they can implement.Make sure all workers (both new and seasoned) are well-aware of the companyâs policies surrounding the use and handling of confidential data, such as financial data, employee information, and client information. Failing to do so could lead to costly gaps in employee knowledge. For instance, if a staff member isnât privy to what a phishing scam looks like, theyâll be far more likely to fall for one and jeopardize sensitive data. Integrate a Fraud Management System Ultimately, establishing an effective enterprise fraud management system is the best thing you can do to safeguard your small business from scams. Enterprise fraud management (EFM) refers to the real-time screening of transactions activity across multiple company users, accounts, processes, and channels, to ultimately identify and prevent fraud within a business. When selecting a fraud management system for your business, there are several criteria you should consider. Look for a program that will offer seamless integration, real-time analysis and results, and fits into your budget. Related: Has There Been $1 Billion in PPP Fraud? In an age when online scams are becoming more prevalent, defending your companyâs data needs to be a top priority.

Additionally, integrating an effective fraud management system will provide you with the peace of mind you deserve in knowing your data is safe from scammers.

The private transport app would offer information about the immunizing drug and help to schedule trips to go to the vaccine application appointments. Entrepreneur's New Yearâs Guide Let the business resources in our guide inspire you and help you achieve your goals in 2021. January 13, 2021 3 min read This article was translated from our Spanish edition using AI technologies. Errors may exist due to this process. On Tuesday, Uber announced that it will partner with Modern Pharma to âsupport adoptionâ of COVID-19 vaccines. The idea would be to provide information about the immunizer to users of the application and help them to schedule appointments for inoculation. Through a message, sent from the application in the United States, Uber explained that with this initiative they hope to expand the program to its more than 78 million monthly users. "The effort may also include working with public health officials to incorporate travel scheduling into the reservation process and sending text reminders for appointments," the statement read. It should be remembered that since December, the private transport app offers free or discounted trips to the vaccination points. Today, we're committing 10 million rides to make it easier for people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Because needing a ride shouldn't be a barrier.#MoveWhatMatters - Uber (@Uber) December 17, 2020 So far, 9.27 million people have been vaccinated in the United States. That amount corresponds to only 36% of vaccines already distributed in the states, Bloomberg reported. The first to access the inoculation were the members of the health personnel in the hospitals. In a second phase, it is planned to extend vaccination to people over 65 years of age and immunocompromised patients. Authorities have faced two major complications in implementing mass vaccination. On the one hand there is the difficulty to access certain areas, and on the other, the resistance of many to receive the immunizing drug. âBringing the vaccine to those settings and convincing people to get vaccinated remains a challenge. More than two-thirds of Americans now say they intend to get vaccinated, an increase from September, when a Gallup poll found that number to be just 50%, â explains Bloomberg. One of the first strategies to distribute the anticovid vaccines was to apply them in the Walmart and Sam's Club pharmacies . The company says that "90% of the American population lives within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of a Walmart," so they are a great option to cover more territory quickly. This week it was announced that Disneyland will reopen its doors to function as a mass vaccination center . The amusement park, located in Anaheim, California, will be one of the five major vaccine dispensing points, called 'super POD'.
