If you are like most business owners, you never have enough hours in each day to complete your scheduled tasks. What starts out as a four point to do list becomes an eight page manual. One thing in this day and age with the advancement of technology you should be looking to do is automate as much of your business as possible, allowing you to spend your time in other areas of your business.
If you look at the mail and how that has become a lot more automated through the use of email you will see the tangent that I am heading off on. You should look to make each one of your business tasks as stress free and automated as possible.
One of the tasks that I know drives a lot of business people and self-employed people mad is invoicing, getting your bill in front of your customer. Sure it's great to get paid, we all like that, but the actual task of sitting down and sending an invoice or chasing people for an unpaid invoice can be a right pain and a sufficient drain on your business time.
If you have any recurring invoices that you send out to your clients regularly, you can go a long way to automating the process by using an autoresponder. If the amounts that are invoiced are the same each week or month or quarter then you can easily automate the process by using an autoresponder. Many of the shopping carts that are built especially for e-commerce have built in autoresponders and they work well for this. Some may indeed take a little time to set up and then learn the process of using them, but in the end they save a great deal of time overall.
If you find that your client is late in offering payment for your goods and services, an autoresponder can help you to chase payment by setting up a set of timely reminder emails that will politely confirm that they are late in paying for your goods and services.
If you are using an autoresponder already for the invoicing tasks of your business or are indeed considering using one you may like to think of the following as a strategy to use to help generate extra business for yourself, whilst sending out your invoices. You could and should be adding small messages within your email, particularly in the form of a P.S. underneath your signature, alerting your prospects to new products or services that you offer, or particular special offers that will be happening sometime soon. Think about your electric company, internet provider and phone company, they all send out an additional sales message with each bill, so should you.
