Take time to learn 

Many people are so eager to start their business, that they don’t have the time to learn how to use all the new softwares or research the market they are in. We recommend that if you get a new system, for example Conta invoice software, take some time to go through the software. Maybe you can watch a webinar or read some help articles. 

We often experience customers that have waited to the very last minute to do something, and then they log in to a system and have a lot of questions. This can be very frustrating for the customer. So we advise everyone to try and learn their systems when they start their system and also set time to learn. 

Create good habits

It is important to have some kind of structure and create good habits that will help you work smart and efficiently. 

One tip is that you should make it a habit to send invoices once you have delivered a service or goods. In this way you will remember to send the invoice and you will get faster payment from your customers that can lead to greater liquidity. 

One other tip is to bookkeep as you go. Have you made a purchase, bookkeep it! In this way you will save yourself from frustration, lost receipts and don’t have to pull an all nighter before deadlines. 

Don’t be afraid to ask for help 

One final tip from us to you! Never be afraid to ask for help. Ask customer service, ask a mentor, ask a family member or a friend, ask an employee. It is a strength to ask for help when you see you are struggling with something. It can also save you time or provide you with new insight. 

Good luck with your business!
