Get Your Business Ready for Spring

Now that the weather is warming up and spring is less than a week away, it’s time to get some spring cleaning done at your small business! This may seem like a daunting task, but we always find that making a list is the best way to prioritize and ensure that you don’t miss anything. Read on for 5 ideas to get your office ready for spring!

Declutter

One important step for your spring cleaning is, of course, actually cleaning. This means cleaning papers off your desk that have been sitting dormant on your desk since last spring cleaning. Cleaning your desk and its surrounding areas of old documents is important, but that’s not all you should be doing; if you’re like any modern business, you have plenty of digital files. If you have PDFs in your scan folder dating back to 2016, that’s a pretty good indication that you’ve got some deleting to do. Clear out your computer’s recycle bin, archive emails that you don’t need anymore, and organize your files into neat, clearly labelled folders. If you do this properly, it will take a while.

Follow up on goals

Hopefully you set up some goals for yourself, your business, and your employees in January. If not, it’s better to start now than never! However, if you did come up with a list of solid goals, the start of a new season is a good checkpoint to follow up and take stock of your progress since the new year. If these goals are quantitative, we suggest setting up an Excel sheet where you can input these numbers throughout the rest of the year.

Strategize

Take the time to sit down with your employees and discuss what works and what doesn’t. Any sales tactics, products, or general day-to-day operations that are not performing up to par need to either be adjusted or scrapped. Additionally, if you’re selling a product or service, figure out the draw to your company over others that are in the same area and in the same industry. Figure out your unique value proposition and include it in your marketing efforts; you want your clients and potential clients to know why they should choose your business and stick with it for years to come.

Review your insurance policies

Make sure your insurance policies are up to date. Are your liability limits high enough? Is your address accurate? Is your policy expiring soon? Do you need anything on your policies to be clarified? If you notice any issues or have any questions about your insurance, it doesn’t hurt to contact your insurance agent and make sure everything is up to date and your assets are covered. You may even want to consider purchasing an additional insurance policy as needed depending on the nature of your business. After all, you don’t want to be stuck in a situation where you don’t have enough coverage in the event of a claim or a lawsuit!

Update your website

This is an essential task to complete at least once a year, but it’s often overlooked. In the digital age, many people will not do business with you unless you have an active website. How many times have you Googled something like “insurance companies near me” or “best places for breakfast in Media, PA”? We’d venture to guess at least once a month. The local businesses that show up when you search something like this didn’t just get lucky. They have a strategy in place to optimize SEO, and this includes regularly updating their website with content that people want to see. If you want to show up next time someone asks Siri for the best [insert your industry here] businesses in their area, you’d better keep your website updated and mobile-friendly!

Our construction company recently switched over to Risk Averse Insurance. We moved all of our policies over to this company. Our agent, Don Blizzard, was amazing! He was upfront and explained everything to us so we understood what we were getting. He made the process very easy and the turn around was very fast! There were no issues! Not only did we get great deals, we got better coverage than we ever had. I would definitely recommend this company! They are the best!

Ive worked with Don for the last few year's. When I started my buisness I knew I needed help and didn't know where to start.I knew I needed an absolute beast of an agent and every other owner/ operator I talked too said if "You don't have Don Blizzard as an agent then you dont have the best agent. "He took a chance and helped me grow my buisness to where its at today. Riskaverse is the absolute best and since starting my buisness all my insurance is through them with help from Don Blizzard. He has a way to explain it to me where I understand my coverage and exposure and the commercial side including Meghan are the absolute best at getting COI'S sent to potential clients within minutes of requesting the copy.Hands down I only go where Don goes and I know whatever policies are written and where my coverage goes my loyalty will always lay with Don.He took a chance and grew with me and I'm forever grateful to all the staff at RiskAverse for being family and buisness friendly and not looking at me as a number or a client but actually caring and finding us the best for which suits our needs.#TeamDonBlizzard #TeamRiskAverse#TeamMegan
