The first two weeks of 2010 have certainly been interesting. Some of us (in the UK) have had extended holidays due to the snow and ridiculous Health&Safety rules that cause schools to close whenever the S word is mentioned, ( I probably should add here that this is a personal opinion and nothing to do with Woosabi!) .
It is very frustrating for many start up companies and small business owners who have spent the Christmas period planning for 2010, catching up with their admin and recharging their batteries to launch into the New Year with aplomb.
Hopefully with the milder weather taking hold, the business world will start waking up from its hibernation and we can all start moving forward again (hopefully on more solid ground).
Did you carry out any of the suggestions we made during the break? Is the ‘Contacts’ section of your Woosabi account now fully updated with accurate customer/supplier records and information? Have you set your business objectives and reminders to phone customers at least once a month? Most importantly, have you changed the VAT amount in the invoices section back to 17.5%?
The heating has been on in Woosabi HQ during the break and further development work has been completed. We’ve already had a few more meetings with parties interested in working with us and there are a couple more due to take place shortly.
We’re very keen to strike up relationships with private and public sector organisations responsible for providing business support to start-ups. If you are involved in this sector, we would welcome an opportunity to speak/meet with you.
On behalf of the Woosabi team, we wish you a healthy, happy and successful 2010.
