Going it Alone without Going Crazy

Going it Alone? 5 Business Tips for the Solo-preneur

At Big Tree Pedicab Mgt, we talk with and consult with pedicab companies around the world. Many of them are small start-ups with questions about how to get the word out about their business.

Of course, the first and most important thing, when it comes to pedicabs, is to be seen. To get your cabs out on the streets with bodies in the back, even if they're your friends or family. People like to do what they see other people doing. If they see people having fun riding around in a pedicab, they'll be more likely to try it themselves.

This short post on FlashPoint! Solutions to Ignite Your Business will give you more ideas for how to get going without feeling overwhelmed. The theme running through the 5 Tips discussed here is clarity. You have to be able to tell people what you're about in 30 seconds or less (what we call your 30-second commercial or your elevator speach). If you can't do that, you need to work on clarifying your business in your own head.

If you're new in a community, it's critically important that you work with your drivers on this as well. Remember, they're your ambassadors.
