You can find lists of citations by googling ‘local directories + yourcity’.

PR Responses.

Nothing is better than getting thousands of dollars of PR for free, simply by providing useful information to the media. Get your admin assistant to sign up on sites like SourceBottle and HARO ( Help A Reporter Out) then keep an eye on what requests come through.


On average for every 5 requests, you respond to you’ll get featured in the media once so it’s well worth the time investment.

Contacting Old Leads

Most businesses are sitting on a gold mine of potential revenue in their old leads, the trouble is that over 76% of businesses NEVER contact leads that don’t close again. That’s right, over 76% don’t follow up!


Simply get your admin to get in touch with them and offer them a discount, invite them to an event, or simply say hello and you’ll be surprised at what may happen.

Connecting On LinkedIn

If you’re in the B2B space then LinkedIn is one of the best ways you can get new business. Get your admin to go through and connect with your ideal target clients in your area, then massage them every few weeks delivering great value in the form of helpful links, industry updates or invites to events.


By implementing these 5 tips not only will you fill your secretary's time more effectively, but you’ll also grow your revenues and profits at the same time!
