Press Release Summary: NextAvailable.com offers service to streamline appointment setting, saving money and time
Press Release Body: SACRAMENTO, CA -- DECEMBER 20, 2007--With the end of the fourth quarter approaching, along with a new year on the way, business owners often take this time to evaluate what has worked and not worked. Owners and entrepreneurs often find it's the systems that makes or breaks their success, says one small business owner and efficiency expert, Bonnie Garvey.
"Now that the economy is slowing down, saving time and money is invaluable. To remain competitive, businesses must boost operational efficiency wherever possible," says Garvey, founder of NextAvailable.com, a free online scheduling service. "Getting your business organized is the key to save both time and money."
She points to statistics show that 97% of all failure is due to the system, and not the person. "But most small business owners skip over the crucial step of creating systems and processes," she says. The most effective systems small business owners can put into place involve the elimination of unnecessary or duplicated tasks and the delegation to others of those tasks that don't really merit an owner's personal time and attention.
"So often we take the attitude that we have to do it ourselves; that we have to be in every information loop," says Garvey. "But that isn't always the case."
Garvey's service, Next Available (www.nextavailable.com) solves the problem by providing an efficient online resource for business owners for free. It gives each business a web presence, with search engine submission, as well as a free appointment setting service.
"It's a marketing system we provide for free, allowing business owners to focus on their business," says Garvey. "With a free website and more, it saves businesses time from answering the phone and looking at a schedule, which in turns saves money."
