The U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Postal Service has unveiled a new Internet tool for small business owners, designed to deliver business solutions to entrepreneurs.
Delivering Success, an online video-on-demand resource of successful entrepreneurs, is a nationwide program in co-sponsorship with the Postal Service. It provides small business owners with invaluable information through video interviews that are accessible and convenient for entrepreneurs.
The Delivering Success video interviews, online at www.sba.gov/deliveringsuccess, chronicle the experiences of successful entrepreneurs from around the country, offering guidance and sharing insights on their road to success. The video interviews provide key information on the ingredients of small business success, including an overview of business basics, resources to help with business plan development, small business friendly financing, business promotion, and planning and research.
The partnership with the SBA is an extension of video-on-demand services that the Postal Service has used as part of its outreach to small business owners. Experience supporting businesses and entrepreneurs through technology and the Internet is one of the resources the Postal Service offers through “Delivering Success.”
Entrepreneurs have round-the-clock access to the video interviews. Other highlights of the Delivering Success video interviews include a business reality check, techniques to take a business to the next level and the top 10 tips to get a business started and keep it growing.
The U.S. Postal Service also has a dedicated portal on its Web site for small business owners – USPS.com/smallbiz. The site offers pricing comparisons for shipping options, shipping tools that include supplies, printing desktop postage, finding the proper ZIP Code, and the request for a free package pickup.
According to the US SBA, the nation’s largest financial backer of small businesses, small businesses make up more than 99.7 percent of all employers, drive the U.S. economy and generate more than 50 percent of the nation’s non-farm private gross domestic product (GDP). Over the past decade, small firms have created between 60 and 80 percent of the net new jobs in the American economy.
