Amazon has continued to raise its rates over the last few years. Earlier this year, Amazon raised the price of its Prime subscription by 17%. And if you needed yet another reason to avoid the retailer, from October 15th, 2022 through January 14th, 2023, the company will be charging customers an additional $0.35 per item to battle the costs of their holiday surge. So whether you’re looking to switch to alternative companies to save money, curb CO2 emissions, or shop more ethically, we’ve got you covered.

If you own a cleaning business, you probably spend a lot of time hiring, scheduling, and at clients’ houses. Which means you’re not always ready and available to answer the phone. Whether you’re elbow-deep in kitchen grease or just running the vacuum and don’t hear the ringer, there are plenty of times that you’re just going to miss the call. Fortunately, you no longer have to settle for letting people leave voicemails and then carving out time to call them all back.

Financial planning businesses are all about efficiency and streamlining—at least when it comes to money. If you take that same approach with your day-to-day operations, you can find a lot of different ways to make improvements that you may not have known before. For one thing, are you still trying to field all the phone calls that come into your business on your own? Perhaps you’ve brought in a single receptionist to assist, only to find out that you’re still not quite hitting the mark.

Right now, the rental market is crazy. People are renting homes just as fast as they’re buying and selling them, leaving property managers and landlords to answer endless phone calls and emails. Sometimes, even the best can’t keep up. People are reaching out about listings that are no longer available because you haven’t had time to update your website. Calls are going unanswered and often unreturned because people don’t leave messages or numbers and because you’re too busy with the day-to-day operations of your business to keep up with the phone.

If you’re in the real estate business, you’re probably busier than you’ve ever been. Right now, the market is in high demand across the country, and people are buying and selling homes in record numbers (and at record prices). You’ve got a lot on your plate, and it’s likely that you miss at least a handful of the calls that you get each day—you’re at showings, doing paperwork, in a meeting with a client—you can’t always be by the phone.

Acquiring customers is costly for most businesses due to the lack of efficiency and the proper tools. Strategizing this process and understanding your market can help you lower expenses.
