Chocolate on the Pillow!

What are the little things you do to differentiate your business?

I remember returning to my hotel room after a very long day at a trade show and finding a gold wrapped chocolate on my pillow. What a treat. And I mentioned it to others.

What can your business do to differentiate itself? To ingratiate itself? To create the “Hey, Martha” effect?

King Collision shows photos of the status of your car as it gets repaired.

HR Knowledge puts your name up in lights on their electronic welcome board when you visit.

Champion Cleaners Ziplocs and pins the spare change I leave in my sports jacket.

Taylor Hardware insists on having a clerk carry heavy objects to your car.

Boston Magazine provides advertisers with a framed copy of each ad.

Tracy Motors surprises you with a lavish gift upon delivering your new car (No, I can’t ruin the surprise. You’ll have to buy a car. Or two.)

None of these examples are particularly expensive. Or time-consuming. But they demonstrate an attention to detail. An effort to add an extra touch of luxury and caring.

Brainstorm with your staff and marketing group to determine your chocolate on the pillow.

Rodman & Rodman to Speak on Topic of “How Much is Your Business Worth” at Seminar on November 17th at the Newton Library

 

John P. McGovern, CPA, CVA, ABV

On Wednesday, November 17, 2010, Rodman & Rodman P.C., will speak to the Newton Retirement Planning Club on the topic of “How Much is Your Business Worth” at 7:00 p.m. in the Trustees Room of the Newton Library, located at 330 Homer Street in Newton. This seminar is open to the public and there is no cost to attend.

The seminar will be led by John P. McGovern, a CPA and Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) at Rodman & Rodman, PC. He is Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) and has over 20 years of experience in valuing privately held businesses in a number of different industries.

McGovern will discuss the importance of obtaining business valuations on a regular basis. Through business valuation, business owners gain a better knowledge of their assets versus liabilities as well as asset values for loan, divorce and estate planning purposes.

A business valuation performed by a qualified professional such as McGovern has the benefit of reducing uncertainty with respect to the issues of fairness, litigation defense and protection from taxing authorities who often challenge valuations that are not prepared with due professional care.

To reserve your seat at the “How Much is Your Business Worth” seminar, RSVP to Coordinator Richard Suder at 617-329-1185 or richard.suder@yahoo.com.
