articles about scheduling software for service businesses

We present below a few articles of interest to anyone running a service business. Several of these articles have been written by our own Murray Gordon, who was responsible for designing the first of our many successful software programs for service businesses. The first such program was The Cleaning Manager -- a program written for a window cleaning business in Long Island, which served literally thousands of clients in the Hamptons, which needed their houses cleaned during the summer holiday months, and regular maintenance performed during the winter months, when the owners were living in the city, and the houses were empty. Murray still supervises the overall design of our programs, and also works now as a consultant and coach to entrepreneurs in a variety of industries, helping them become successful in their ventures.

First choice: she could join a national franchise – there were several possibilities she read about in Entrepreneur magazine. The second option was to simply start up, and then learn how to make the business successful as she progressed – the trial and error method. The third option would be to hire a consultant or trainer who would teach her what she needed to know and guide her through the start up phase of the business. She considered the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
