(1) Entrepreneurs Know Customer Service – The Basis Of Good Sales

Entrepreneurs, among many other skills, are tremendous when it comes to sales and customer service. Since sales is simply good customer service combined with acute knowledge of their business, the hardest working entrepreneurs find sales to be more simplistic than the general public.

Because the goal of every small, home based business is to grow into a full company with an office and intelligent, hard working employees, to ensure survival, the entrepreneur must be able to capitalize on every and any business that comes his or her way.

It is this constant acquisition that makes the average small business owner become successful.

(2) Entrepreneurs Are Resourceful Enough To Recruit The Right People

In his book Winning, Jack Welch makes a spot-on point when he says that good people are exceedingly hard to find and great employees are nearly impossible.

Finding the right people is the #1 blockade to small business success. Most entrepreneurs start out from their house and coming from a small business owner who did the same, I am more than glad to vouch for the complexity and frustration it takes to bring on an employee without an office.

I also run a staffing firm, therefore when I used to obtain employees, although hard, I had an exceptional advantage over other small business owners.

(3) Entrepreneurs Know Their Industry Better Than The Bigger Firms In Their Space

As a recruiter, I’ve had to study resume writing, interviewing, negotiation, persuasion, management, leadership, consultative selling, marketing, cold-calling techniques, human resources, resume writing, cover letter writing as well as a plethora of other skills.

Not only have I had to learn these facets of my industry, I consistently have to refresh my knowledge on the subjects. Consistent reading takes an exceedingly high amount of discipline, drive and focus.

To truly learn their industry and to not only ensure survival, but become the absolute best at what they, entrepreneurs know that it is the work they put in after hours that separates them from the pack.

(4) Entrepreneurs Have Great Writing Skills

Without the acquisition of above average writing skills, I don’t think that my business would be where it is today.
