Let's help each other through this economy!

Quick Tip for 2009 Let's Help Each Other helpinghands Since many service providers and retailers are looking for business and for ways to cut costs, why not spend more time working with them as a team? Here are some ways to do this:

Share office space by finding a service provider in a great location that has some space available to share.
Share some expenses that affect both businesses in the same location.
Share office personnel for answering the phone or in paying or collecting the bills.
Promote each other in each other's travels.
Advertise jointly in some print ads or other media.
Help each other by providing some work or service for each other.
Set up a new networking group with them to bring in others into your new network.

Networking is a great way to build your business and now is a great time to do this to help others too! Since you have many skills that many don't have, you can offer many skills to help others with their business. Share your knowledge and watch the referrals start coming in. While you are at it, don't forget me! I am a service provider too. Call me if you have some ideas that we can help each other with in 2009!
