This is the second in a series of posts featuring small business owners’ suggestions for things you can do to be successful in 2010.
Earlier this week, I told you about Joan Morais, an IBN member who increased her productivity by hiring a virtual assistant. Today, I’d like to share the story of Marla Bosworth of Back Porch Soap Co. near Boston, Massachusetts. Marla is teaches classes on how to make cosmetics, and provides private consulting for new and existing businesses. Marla leads the How To Launch A Successful Beauty Business Group at our social networking site.
That’s me and the fabulous Marla at this year’s Conference of Handcrafted Soap Makers where we were both speakers this year (and will be again next year!) (Enjoy the entire photo album on FaceBook.) I was excited when Marla shared with me the strategies she used to double her sales in the past 12 months. While individual results may vary, I can’t imagine a scenario where implementing Marla’s simple steps would not benefit any business. Here’s what Marla said she did this year to double her business, and how you can do it too. Rear more about Marla’s big success!
