How Small Businesses Are Finding Other Ways to Advertise Beyond Facebook and Instagram
by Inc

Ryan Knoll thought social media sites like Facebook would be the best places to advertise his brand-new home cleaning service. Then he had an epiphany.
“Put yourself in the customer’s shoes. How would that customer go about trying to find the business?” says Knoll, whose company, Tidy Casa, is based in Phoenix.
Ryan tried marketing on several social media sites, but eventually realized people needing cleaning services would head first for review websites like Yelp, Thumbtack and Angie’s List. …Learn More

 

Sales Growth Metrics and KPIs
by Klipfolio

Sales growth is a metric that measures the ability of your sales team to increase revenue over a fixed period of time. Without revenue growth, businesses are at risk of being overtaken by competitors and stagnating. Sales growth is a strategic indicator that is used in decision making by executives and the board of directors, and influences the formulation and execution of business strategy.
It’d be hard to overstate the importance of the sales growth metric because it is tied directly to revenue and profitability. Growth is the drumbeat by which all organizations march. When performance declines, pressure mounts on the sales organization to deliver results. Conversely, a high percentage growth in sales is cause for optimism for all stakeholders such as executives, the board of directors, and shareholders. …Learn More

 

6 Tips To Finding And Hiring Freelancers For Your Small Business
by Forbes

If you’re a micropreneur like me, you might have stumbled upon a little secret that helps you do more in your business: freelancers. When you run a business, you may not need (or be able to afford) a full-time staff, and that’s where hiring outside help is such a boon.

I’ve worked with highly skilled freelancers—and some not-so-professional ones—so I want to share some tips to help you ensure that you hire the best ones for your needs. …Learn More

Payrolls surge by 304,000, smashing estimates despite government shutdown

Job growth in January shattered expectations, with nonfarm payrolls surging by 304,000 despite a partial government shutdown that was the longest in history, the Labor Department reported Friday.
The unemployment rate ticked higher to 4 percent, a level where it had last been in June, a likely effect of the shutdown, according to the department. However, officials said federal workers generally were counted as employed during the period because they received pay during the survey week of Jan. 12. On balance, federal government employment actually rose by 1,000.

JPMorgan Says 2020 ‘Might Not Be a Year to Think About

The Federal Reserve’s change in tone may mean investors should reconsider the timing of the investment cycle, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
That means investors shouldn’t be driven by fears of recession for now, JP Morgan analysts said.
The Fed signaled last week that it’s done raising rates for at least a little while, and that it’ll be flexible in reducing bond holdings. The Fed’s changes have already been welcomed by equity investors who boosted the S&P 500 2.5 percent over three sessions, while rates traders have been working to figure out the implications of the newfound caution about shrinking the balance sheet. Demand for gold has increased as well.
