With the global economy struggling and costs of doing business, such as oil, gasoline and food expenses on the rise, maximizing business productivity has never been more important.  Businesses that can produce the most with the least in regards to human resources, equipment, automated processes, and other resources have the best chance of success.  Many businesses have failed in the last several months because they could not discover great ways to maximize productivity while trimming costs of doing business.  Here are ten ways that your company can do both:

1)    Take advantage of Internet technology

Customer service is still one of the most important factors in success for many businesses.  However, in the fast pace consumer world, delivering efficient and convenient service is often a highly sought after skill for companies.  There are many great new web technologies and software solutions that offer consumers a chance to shop and buy more efficiently.  They also give businesses greater productivity from an often less expensive transaction process.  Many traditionally face-to-face businesses are now relying on the web for sales and customer contact.  In fact, Internet sales are growing by 25 per cent annually and now account for roughly 6 per cent of all business sales worldwide.

Are you taking advantage of that 25% annual increase?
