Small businesses would serve themselves much better if they acted more like big companies. Large corporations build a line item into their budgets for Capital Improvements. They deliberately accrue money and set it aside each month or quarter. Owners of small companies should follow the same rule. Then at the end of the year, decide on your area of upgrade or improvement and spend it. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Management & Leadership Tip 11/3/2026
Managing a business is divided into two separate categories that fully integrate into each other, but they also require different skills. First, you must manage the administering of the company in terms of assets, liabilities, risks, governance, legal needs and so on. The other one is managing the people. The second one is much harder, more unpredictable, and constantly needing adjustments. Make sure you work on both types. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Recruiting and Hiring Tip 11/4/2026
There is an old rule in recruiting that even the professionals live by and it is…never make the job too easy to get. Too many employers are so afraid of losing a candidate that they rush the process. Others over sell the job and company so they can build enthusiasm for a quick decision by the candidate. Regardless of the reason, if it is too easy, they won’t value the job opportunity appropriately. There is a technique to put the challenge in the process and also move it along quickly. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Systems & Data Tip 11/5/2026
The purpose of systems and their value have many tentacles in a company. One of them is an unescapable reality. If information cannot be easily shared, it doesn’t actually exist. As drastic as that may seem, it is true if you really think about it. Information is just the organizational process of a bundle of ideas. Ideas are floating around teams constantly. But having systems that collect, organize, and distribute those consolidated ideas to team members turns ideas into information, and then the final result is knowledge. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
Sales & Selling Tip 11/6/2026
We’ve covered in the past a clear difference between sales vs selling. It’s a distinction that quite often is overlooked and considered unimportant. The facts of watching salespeople succeed in one sales environment and then fail in the next one is validation of the comparison. Some people should be in sales, but not do the selling. Think about it. ©Viscon Services
