As the title explains, I am collecting responses from SMB owners on repetitive/tedious tasks that take up more time than it’s supposed to on a daily basis. For example, responding to emails, calls, setting appointments, delegating employees etc. Would appreciate your valuable feedback!
The majority of this sub has become people doing market research for a product or service and has absolutely nothing to do with running a small business. It’s the same over in r/entrepreneur and it’s to the point of making the subs useless.
Mods can you enforce a “no data collection/market research” rule please? All these posts defeat the entire point of why we gather here. 🤷
Hey thanks for the feedback. Anything that would benefit this subreddit and make things better for the community moving forward would be great. Like I asked above, what do you think would be a better and less “soliciting” way to reach out to SMB owners? Thanks!

Talking to customers. Nearly all of my customers want to have extremely long conversations about our industry, like 10-30 minutes a piece. It’s usually fine when they’re listening to what we’re saying and reciprocating information. Too often, they don’t listen at all and just talk AT us. It’s a huge bummer especially when you would have other wise been concentrating on a task.
the #1 thing that prevents us from up scaling is finding reliable hard working people!!! year after year its gets harder and harder…all the other crap can be easily done.
