The lifeblood of any business is tied to its marketing efforts. If you wish to stay in business, you must attract the right prospects. We all know this. That’s why we seek the advice of advertising experts and sign contracts with marketing agents. We want to reach more customers, clients, patients, and patrons eager to do business with us.
The problem with most marketing campaigns is they fall short on one or more of the key elements that make them effective—and unfortunately, making marketing missteps can cost you time, money, and patronage. Make enough of these marketing missteps, and they can sink your business as effectively as the iceberg that sank the Titanic.

Cash reserves are an important part of business economics and are a critical pillar of your business growth. This doesn’t mean it is easy to build these reserves, especially for small businesses and dental practices.
Let’s look at their importance and how to build them up.
Managing Creditors
Renegotiate your debt with your creditors to ease your debt pressure, as they will often accept longer settlement periods. This lowers monthly installments, and you can allocate the difference to building cash reserves. If they are not open to re-negotiation, then take your debt elsewhere for a better deal.

I frequently cross the Potomac River north of Washington DC. Recently, as I sat directly above the Potomac waiting for traffic to start moving, it occurred to me that just as the river feeds the Chesapeake Bay with water, a river of money to keep your business fed.

Welcome to Part 2 of the types of web pages available In this blog, I will be focusing on Offer Pages and Home Pages. Let’s dig in!
Offer Pages
The offer page is where you present the offer, and allow the prospect to take up the call to action, whatever that may be. This could mean that they are going to make a purchase, schedule a discovery call or RSVP to an event. This is the page where you're going to give them all the reasons that they need to take action right now.

It was 8 p.m. on a Friday night and I out with some friends. We were sitting around a table and chatting. At some point, it became a bragging contest where we were essentially trying to outdo each other. My friends and I went back and forth for a little while. Finally, I said, if there was a sweet deal on the table tonight, then I could have more than a million dollars in cash in this house by midnight. Suffice to say that I won our playful argument.

A great way to make more money is to stop losing customers, beginning with the next one you are about to lose.
