Your USP (Unique Selling Point)

Operating an online estate sale business is based on how well you can serve on your target market. Your niche doesn’t matter; your service doesn’t matter, what matters most is that you are able to outshine your competition while you give your clients what they want.

The reason that so many Internet-based businesses fail at finding any real success is that they don’t really spend a lot of time figuring out their business’s unique selling position.

It is very important that you know where your service fits into the overall estate sale market and what your target audience thinks about it. Getting the most from your business in the long term depends on how well you can identify the USP for your estate sale business.

Show that your business is ethical and know your own weaknesses. Let’s be real here. Every single business service has at least one weakness because nothing is absolutely perfect. Try to figure out all of your business weaknesses so that you know what you need to improve.

This is going to give you a good idea about what you need to improve so that your USP will be even more obvious. It’s important to know your weaknesses along with your strengths in order to serve your clients in the best possible way.

You have to be able to promise your prospects something new and exciting about your business service if you want them to respond to your offer. If your service is better than similar ones being offered, you have to be able to show people why.

What Makes Your Estate Sale Business Stand Out Among The Competition?

Make as good a promise as you can honestly live up to. Stick to the truth and don’t say anything you can’t back up. Be honest and genuine in your approach.

To conclude, from this article, you can clearly see just how important it is to develop your own USP if you want to keep moving ahead of your competition. If you’re not able to convince a prospective client to contact and hire you, someone else will.

This is why it’s quite important that you choose your business’s USP as soon as you can — if you have not yet already figured it out. If you are just starting your estate sale business, it’s easier because your target market doesn’t yet know you and that means that it will be easier for you to build your USP, and create a position for yourself in the estate sale market.

Tree Trimming Service Professionals

We always recommend you call a professional to help with your tree trimming needs, but just in case you either want to make a start or have a small job you can manage yourself, we’ve created these mini checklists for DIY tree trimming in San Antonio

Before you begin, remember that tree trimming can be extremely dangerous. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew, and if at any time you feel the work is causing you physical strain or is posing a risk to your safety, STOP and call a professional Tree Service Company immediately.tree services san antonio

Dangers of Tree Trimming Explained
That brings us nicely to our checklist – the safety list:

Make sure you’re fully hydrated and have plenty of water. Tree trimming is strenuous work and in the San Antonio heat, there’s a real risk of dehydration.
If you’re using a ladder, have a work buddy or use a harness to attach yourself to a secure branch or other static post or pole. Falls from ladders are common and when handling sharp tree trimming equipment, can even be fatal.
Never cut branches above you or which may swing or fall at angles and hit you. This especially applies to heavier branches but should be a consideration no matter what size of tree you’re dealing with.
Keep a first aid kit nearby and a mobile telephone to call for help if you get cut or injured. This should especially be the case when working in an isolated area.
Plan the job to the end. Decide on a game plan and stick to it. Think about any potential hazards and how to eliminate them in advance. Work the job in stages and take regular breaks.
Essential Equipment You Need to Trim Trees
Once you have the basic safety checklist ticked off, you’ll need the following gear to start tree trimming:

Sturdy, secure ladders. If the top of the tree is too high to reach from a standard ladder, don’t risk it. Call a pro and get the job done safely. Make sure the ladder is in good condition and is secure at ground level.
Protective gear. Eye goggles, rip-proof gloves, and boots with steel toes should be a minimum. Also, wear long sleeves, you’ll be surprised how many little nicks and scratches appear on your body even from minor trimming jobs.
Harnesses. Never, ever, climb a ladder without being securely harnessed to something else. Buy good body harnesses from your local hardware store. Your safety and health are worth the investment.
Tree trimming gear. Depending on the types of trees, you may require clippers, saws, and in some cases, a chainsaw. Make sure you know how to safely operate any electrical gear you use.
Waste disposal equipment. All of those trimmings and branches have to go somewhere. Consider renting a trailer or, for smaller jobs, using a wheelbarrow to transport the waste to a compost heap or dump.
As you can see from the above checklists, tree trimming in San Antonio can be extremely complicated and potentially hazardous. That’s exactly why we strongly recommend that you only attempt the smallest of tasks by yourself. For any major work, we would advise you to contact us immediately and have a professional take a look at the job. More information on this website
