Here's the way that I organize my information.3 cabinets: 1 for vendors (people that sell stuff to you) 1 for customers (since I'm a landlord this means my tenants) 1 for general / administrative items (company documents of incorporation, tax documents)This is how I file information inside each cabinet.- Organize alphabetically (except XYZ can be combined since they're rare)- File according to first letter of the company's name.

They're my most valuable customers.

I am in the business and I have to laugh when I try to explain it to customers.

Going to the bar and owning one are 2 very different animals.Lots of hard work behind the scenes that customers do not see.I was in the restaurant industry for years and owned one before.It wasn't a bar but the pizza industry.I know the industry very well.First you need to ask if you want to own the land and building or rent the building??

If I didn't screen potential customers, I'd spend an enormous amount of time chasing smoke.

There is one guy in our area who focuses his whole business on creating custom fences that match the original fence of the historic home.

It helps to have branding, professionalism, customer service, and a short story.Sellers never ask, I tell them upfront but let them know we partner with investors locally (which is true).What country are you in?  

Just gives a presence that we are dedicated to the long haul.Thank you again

Customer service is a high priority to us and after years of building a steady clientele I event planning there have been many referrals and much positive feedback.  

Other banks, BOA, Wells Fargo and many other banks all have their own version of paying to other bank customers at no fee.
