Reduce Your Professional Development & Training Expenses

Tighten Your Belt
Tighten Your Belt

Especially with the current state of the U.S. economy, now is the time to tighten your belt. Without writing a novel, here are a few things a small business can consider in this expense category.

  • Both you and your staff must keep up your training and learning.
  • Is it really necessary to travel to that conference? Look into the possibility of online training or something more local.
  • Ask your staff if there is more you could be doing with your existing computer software. For instance, maybe there is a lot more you could do with email marketing or follow-up.
  • I’ll bet someone on your team can lead a training class or the vendor will come in and do it for a reasonable fee.
