Within We Love Sales, one of the most important lessons we talk about is how to bring philanthropy into any business setting. Entrepreneurs often need to be reminded that even small business ventures, ones that are just on the cusp of growing, have the capacity to give back to their communities. Some of the important factors worth noting are:
• Consider What Aligns With Company Values: For first-time business owners, the causes we support and the ways in which we give back are very important. Potential hires and clients look to see the level of social responsibility a new company has, so if resources are tight, it’s best to make the effort count.
• Think About Impact: Selecting the cause or organisation is foremost, quickly followed by the means by which we might support them. The question to ask starts with what will do the most good for the most people? Perhaps it’s volunteering as a group, or raising funds.
• Make Sure Everyone Is on Board: When people in the network at We Love Sales team up to give back, it’s important that all independent contractors are happy to assist. The more the merrier might be the motto most people recognise, but really the merrier people are, the more we accomplish as volunteers.
