📈 How to sell correctly during a crisis (and not only!)
Evaluate how you work with clients
📈 In times of crisis and difficult times for a company, significant attention must be paid to working with clients. Perhaps you didn’t have such a need before, because clients found you themselves or you were content with what you had. But even if you've always been attentive to your interactions with customers, it's worth re-evaluating in times of crisis.
Improve the quality of service
📈 Excellent service means loyal customers. And loyal clients are, first of all, excellent professional employees. But it often happens that for some reason we carry careless employees with us, either expecting them to come to their senses, or fearing that we will not find a replacement for them. The advantage of the crisis is that it is easier to find professionals and many of them are willing to work for less money.
🤵 And finally - some practical advice from professionals
Tip 1
💡 In a crisis, in addition to problems, there are also opportunities that you just need to be able to discern and take advantage of them. For example, all projects that allow clients to significantly reduce costs or attract new income usually begin to grow during a crisis.
Tip 2
💡 I always advise everyone to put aside 30% of their income in the form of savings, so that in case of a crisis and possible loss of income, a person can live on these savings without nerves for at least one year and calmly search for a place to profitably apply their strength.
Tip 3
💡 Do you have money? Invest! The ruble exchange rate collapsed, and with it the cost of development and advertising, and employee salaries. If you have available funds, now is the ideal time to invest and get ahead of weak competitors.

⚒ BUSINESS WITH MOTOR CRANE SERVICES
When to open a business?
📌 When buying a truck crane, in the hope of quick profit, you should take into account the fact that the matter is exclusively seasonal. Unlike aerial platforms, which can be ordered all year round, demand for truck crane services appears only during the construction season. Your machine will work from spring to mid-autumn, and then there will be silence for almost half a year. So, if you are taking out a car on credit or leasing, be sure to take this point into account.
How much can you earn?
📌 Income from services directly depends on the load capacity of the machine and working height. The Ivanovets truck crane, with a lifting capacity of 14 tons and a long boom of 14 meters, can be rented out for at least 6 - 8 thousand rubles per shift. More powerful machines will bring greater profits. A 32-ton truck crane costs from 18 thousand rubles per shift. But such machines are not often ordered, only for large construction projects.

Business registration
📌 To start a business, it is enough to register an individual entrepreneur with the local tax service. Individual entrepreneurship will allow you to open a bank account and accept payments from legal entities by bank transfer. The simplified taxation system (USN) is most often used as a taxation system, when you pay 6% of revenue or 15% of business profit (at your discretion).

🤵How to validate your business idea before investing time and money
1. Talk to people
⚒ The benefits of doing this are countless:
- Building a list of people who are potentially interested in buying from you
- Gathering feedback to build a better solution that actually solves a problem
- Making it easier to sell to future customers
2. Leverage your network and connections
3. Send a survey
⚒ If you’re targeting a broader B2C audience, sending a survey to as many people as possible might be the way to go.
4. Online communities
✔️ Many times people who fall into the same category gather in online communities. That’s a perfect place to hang out, listen and participate.
✔️ Please don’t join just to spam non-stop.
5. Use Google
⚒ Beyond its search tool, others such as Google Trends and Adwords Keyword Planner can help you identify what people are searching for and if the number is growing. And how much it’d cost you to capture those users with ads.
6. Smaller is better
✔️ Your idea is big. Super big. It requires a lot of resources to get started. And because you don’t have them, that’s stopping you from starting.
✔️ Here’s when the concept of an MVP (minimum viable product) comes in handy. The idea is that people will actually get value, even if you’re not offering your ideal-unlimited-resources product or service.

If you're lost, start solving problems.
The problems that are staring you straight in the face. Your fitness, health, finances, mindset, work, or anything preventing you from having control over your life.
Experiment until you become obsessed and watch your life change.

📝 How not to burn out when starting a business
⚒ A mistake that a novice entrepreneur is not insured against is starting beyond his means.
⚒ An office with a designer renovation, a location in the city center and high rent in the absence of a client base will soon become an overwhelming burden.
⚒ For the same reason, do not set a luxury budget for furniture and appliances.
⚒ Justified savings should also apply to the staff of the first employees: if there are many of them, you will go into the red after the first salary paid.
⚒ You will allow yourself a status image when the profit becomes appropriate, but in the meantime, minimize expenses.
