The agenda included an open forum discussion on Cutting Costs with input from all the attendees.

The following cost cutting items were discussed:

  • Using contractors
  • Shop around for insurance
  • Get more than 1 quote
  • Social Media Marketing
  • Networking
  • Measure costs monthly
  • Review all telephone charges and packages/offers regularly. Use CallCosts.ie
  • Top up mobile online to avail of additional free credit
  • Consider removing the non-value (non paid for) items from your business activities. See Lean Manufacturing.
  • Be effective and efficient
