Welcome to the business insight page. this is where you will penetrate, explore, and learn from the intuitive side of the small business world. 

The keys To success: A keymaker in Warwick, Rhode Island, credited one word with doubling his business. the sign in the window of his shop used to read: "Keys Made While You wait." The thought occurred to him that most people do not like to wait for anything. So he changed the sign to, "Keys Made While You watch."

Smart Advice: If you are like most small business owners, you can take heart from the advice of a dying father who was turning his business over to his son. Son, there are two principles you must abide by to be successful.

The first is never break a promise, even if it means bankruptcy. What is the second principle?, the son asked. Never promise!!

The Value Of Service: Less than 1% of the gasoline pumped in the U.S. is from full service pumps. Most all stations insist and agree that customers are not willing to pay for service. Not so at a Chevron station in San Leandro, CA.

Four attendants greet each car. They not only pump the gas, but also check the oil, vacuum the car, check fluid levels, fan belts, lights, and tire pressure. In addition to all this, they offer the driver a free newspaper and cup of coffee.

Even with the price 50 cents per gallon over self-service, the station has raised the amount of gas sold from 35,000 gallons to 100,000 gallons per month, in just 20 months. That's an additional $50,000 each month over self-service prices!
