4 Reasons Your Company Should Hold Off-Site Gatherings

Within the marketing department here at Dominion Systems, we make a point to get off-site from time to time. Whether it’s to drive across state to attend a Hubspot User Group or just down the road to our favorite coffee shop, we understand the importance of getting a change of scenery every once in a while. As a company, however, this can be pretty difficult to manage. After all, many of the departments within our organization have to be on site in order to run on all cylinders. That being said, we manage to get everyone from the company off-site whenever possible. For example, every year we throw a huge holiday party to celebrate the hard work we do during year-end. We also get each department to go out on a “department outing” over the summer months. Whether it’s a day spent on the lake or on the golf course, this is a great way to get some fresh air and not feel cooped up over the summer months. Whenever one department is out for the day, everyone else is happy to step in to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Diversity is probably one of the most common buzzwords that make employers nervous. Why? Because nowadays, it seems that diversity is wrapped up in legalities and controversial issues, making it a hard topic of discussion.

Ways to Get More Referrals to Your Business

Currently there is a lot of competition for businesses out there, especially in the service industry. According to a recent study, over 84% of the U.S. economy is service based. This includes restaurants, doctors, lawyers, software developers, media planners, and many more. So how can you get people to come to YOUR business and not others? Research shows that people usually go to business they trust, so they search for reviews online or ask their peers for recommendations. Word of mouth and referrals are a great (and free) way to advertise your business and get new clientele; they also build a company’s trustworthiness and credibility. It is important to note that in order to get these referrals, business owners should have a well executed plan that satisfies their current clients enough for them to spread the word. If you’re a business owner or seller, make sure that you deliver what you promise in order to be referable
