#08. Website costs and measuring the R.O.I Feat. Richard Sumner

#08. Website costs and measuring the R.O.I Feat. Richard Sumner

What does a website actually cost and how do you measure your return on that investment?

That's right, in Money Month March, we will be chatting about the actual cost of a website, costs you hadn't even thought of and how do you measure what your website is doing to ensure you get a return on your invested money and time?

Richard Sumner of Spreadsheet Solutions Ltd joins me to share with us all some of his own mistakes and how he monitors the return on his invested time and money into his own website using his own crafted spreadsheets that he also sells through his website.

We'll kick off the show with what a website actually costs and what you should expect to spend realistically in both time and money and then we will cover the critical part of how to actually measure if what you have spent is doing its job.

Richard (Sumner, not me) is a Microsoft Excel expert and provide spreadsheet solutions for people covering a wide variety of data management in order to keep things incredibly simple and put the value back into managing your information.

Richard and I share a common business ethos where not everything has to be a bloated software package when your everyday spreadsheet software can already do everything you need without spending more money. Software just for the sake of software sucks and just makes things more complicated.

This week, Tim Buick from Streetpin.com joins me for a chat about loving your customers and also showing your high street some love. If you are a retailer with a presence on the High Street then this is the subject for you.

Are our High Streets struggling and what personal experiences do you have with High Street retailers?

Streetpin aims to bring all of your High Street retailers together in collaboration to give the locals the best deals on the fly and re-connect people with the personal side of their High Street. Something no online retailers have ever been able to do.

Tim and I will hopefully share a few tales of how local retailers really do make a difference and how the personal touch really matters.

#02 - Business Processes and Consistency with Robin Walker

Welcome to our second WESH UK Weekly business show of 2020 which airs live on YouTube on Wednesday night at 8pm and is then available by Podcast on Friday morning.

This week I am joined by Robin Walker from Green Robin Solutions and after much joking around, we eventually get to why business processes and streamlining your tasks are so important to create a consistent customer experience and give your customers confidence in what you do.

It's all about turning the plate spinning mess inside your head into consistent processes that you can follow every single time to avoid messing things up and causing yourself much less stress.

I also share my own experience of this very thing and how different the experience is as a customer between a Ford Garage and Halfords.

Robin also shares with you 5 fab tibs to causing yourself less stress and getting things right.

Its so much fun having Robin on the show and the work he does is just so essential if you want to get things right, or if you are having a bad time and don't know where your business is going wrong.

I truly hope you enjoy the show and I'd look forward to having you join us live on YouTube every Wednesday night at 8pm.
