SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, July 03, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Small business creation is currently at an all-time high with more people than ever recognising the amazing benefits of entrepreneurship. However whilst this may be good news for the Australian economy, which is currently benefiting from the increased revenue, it does pose a problem for the SMEs themselves as with new business creation comes the oversaturation of the marketplace and an increase in competitors vying for customer attention. To achieve and maintain a prominent position on the market Alba International believe it takes more than offering the lowest prices or the freshest ideas, to gain a real competitive edge the firm believe businesses must focus on boosting their productivity and efficiency. Having in depth and effective productivity strategies will not only help a growing business gain a positive reputation among consumers and stand out from its competitors, it will also help them to thrive when the business picks up traction, meaning they will be able to nurture and hold on to a huge bank of loyal, happy customers.

To increase overall small business productivity and efficiency Alba International have revealed the 3 secrets they live and work that are guaranteed to give even the smallest business the competitive edge.
Create a list of priorities
Unless a business knows what its main priorities are, it is going to struggle to get things done and may even buckle under the pressure and stress of looking at the tasks ahead. Although it may be difficult to prioritize every task, making sure the key operations are covered so that each team knows what they are doing and are working in unison towards a shared goal is vital. Alba International also suggests that all teams meet together once a week to track progress and ensure everyone remains on the same page.
Connect
Whilst remote working may be a growing trend among small businesses and start-ups, Alba International believe that one of the major contributing factors to increased productivity is communication and are urging businesses to ensure that all their workers are connected, no matter what their location may be. Cloud based systems are often a good way to keep workers connected and communicating, whilst work management apps such as Evernote allow workers to share documents and files and keep open a direct channel for collaboration.
Ensure workers are happy
Easy in theory, deceptively difficult in practice. Keeping workers happy is key to boosting productivity high as content workers who are happy to be in the work environment will not only want to do their best, but will also encourage others to produce a greater quality of work too. Providing rewards and incentives will help workers to feel valued and increase morale.
Alba International have dedicated a lot of time to ensure that their productivity remains high so that they can continue to deliver the high results their clients have come to expect. Due to the face to face nature of their marketing campaigns, every morning the firm hold motivational meetings which not only get their representatives in the right mind set for the day ahead, but also provides the perfect opportunity for everyone within the firm to discuss goals and ensure that they are on track to hit their targets. The firm also host a variety of team building activities and crew nights out to help their representatives' increase their confidence and develop stronger internal relationships and boost morale.
Alba International strategically develops innovative direct marketing campaigns that are presented to consumers in engaging methods that are memorable and personalised.
