BUILDING A RELIABLE DATABASE
Is reliable data really that valuable to a business? Some may argue it is of utmost importance, some may beg to differ; In reality, it is as much of an asset to your business as you make of it.
Here's what I mean.
In some instances, businesses tend to overlook the importance of a database which you can depend on. When this happens, recorded data becomes a liability due to the confusion caused by unreliable information.
Successful businesses know how important it is to make sure that the data is not only 100% accurate, but is also completely safe from legal violations.
COLLECTING AND USING DATA
To build a reliable database, you need to completely understand how to collect and use data to benefit your business.
As a business owner, you are bound to encounter various methods on how to collect data.
Based on my experience, it all comes down to verifying information and recording it in the most efficient manner.
How you make use of data can get a little tricky for those who are new to this topic. On the other hand, a higher chance of success can be expected for those who understand proper data usage.
IN THIS RECORDING
I discuss how business owners should collect and use data to take their businesses to the next level. By breaking things into categories, I was able to re-organize the entire process to a more efficient and understandable system.
I encourage contractors and tradie business owners to re-think your strategy when it comes to the collection and usage of data. With the looming changes and adjustments being made in the industry, we need to become adaptable to distinguish ourselves from the competition.
