Jon Carson Consulting - August 2021

Everyone loves back-to-school season because of the shopping spree! Students can get tools they’ll actually use for the entire year while they’re on sale while saving a few extra dollars in the process. But you can get that very same feeling as an entrepreneur, too. Here’s how you can make the most of back-to-school deals this year for your home office. UPGRADE YOUR HOME OFFICE’S AMENITIES. Are you a seltzer water fan? Every year, Amazon almost always has an “Off to College” sale, featuring various products that make dorm life a little bit easier and more convenient. If you want to do the same for your home office, look into a tabletop fridge — or an electric tea kettle, if tea is more your style. Some affordable decor, like wall art or small potted succulents, can spruce up your office without making a mess. If you’re looking to organize your space, consider buying desktop shelves to free up clutter. Then, you won’t have to leave your desk to stay in the zone! LOOK OUT FOR APPLE AND PC SALES! Replacing your current technology can be expensive, but back-to-school sales are the perfect way to spare your wallet. Have an amazing computer already? You can still benefit majorly from staying tuned! During last year’s back-to-school sale, Apple offered 20% off their AppleCare+ service, which gives you two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months. Dropped your laptop or spilled coffee on it? They’ll fix it, no questions asked. INVEST IN THE NEW OFFICE CHAIR YOU’VE BEEN WANTING. Don’t sacrifice your posture just because you’re working from home. Whether remote working has turned into a permanent or a part-time solution for your job, you deserve an office chair that can help keep your back straight, preventing pain and slouching. Many big-box stores will be offering sales on office chairs, so take the opportunity to sit in a healthier way today — before the expensive holiday season rolls around! Just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you can’t have the joy of back-to-school shopping too. We hope you treat yourself to something that’ll make your remote routine even better.

“In our earlier days, my team bullied me into hiring a professional to ‘secret-shop’ our customer phone-in experience. I thought it would be a waste of money because we had already done phone training, and I was confident that our service standards were top- notch. Regardless, I let my team spend the money, and a week later, I got an email from this guy with a recording of his call and some feedback.

I had to eat some humble pie, and I really didn’t want to. At first, I felt defensive and argumentative, but as I listened to the call, I was forced to acknowledge that this guy was 100% right. So, I hired him on the spot to do some in-depth training for my team, fix the process, and help us be better than ever. And our close rates soared!”
