Thats what i have trying to tell small local startup for months!

They all think that just because they have an indecisive moment for marketing, they can sit back and rue their problem.

Much talk has been generated recently of helping small businesses garner an online presence, to reach out to more customers. I have had a tough time trying to convince owners that internet can do wonders for their business, especially when i try to pitch one to one.

I found the following works best (i am in singapore, by the way)

I send out mass fax, or postcard marketing, with the bold title- "CAn the internet triple your business?"

Followed by a $5 seminar, it cannot be free because you have to disqualify prospects.

I will wait until there are 30 respondents before i actually launch the free seminar.

Once you have all the owners in one venue, its easier to show them on the screen, how thier business compares to the competion.

Its tough work, but it sure does pay well!

I think this problem comes from people who are scared to make a move knowing one move can be their total demise. But as a business owner, you have to be a leader, to lead a pact, and thus, have no room for indecisiveness

That's what I'm talking about…better to try and fail than to fail to try.

2010 is here now and I'm getting my butt in gear to make my businesses into powerhoouses in their industries.

Decision by committee is the worst. You make a great point about have one person responsible for the final decision. For shared final decisions, I have found that decisions take too long to make trying to round the troops to get together and decide.

Yes, postponing decisions kill new ideas. SUMT reluctant at first and it can stop even the great plans

Great tips for someone getting started with little to no direction.
I've had a few instances where I've missed opportunities because I had been postponing things. Part of my goal in 2010 is to work on this!

I think that no matter what decision you make in business, the longer you take to respond, the poorer the outcome will be irrespective…

IE: If you have to find the quickest route to a meeting, if you take 1/2 an hour to choose your going to be late no matter what.
