I sell agricultural products but there are no sales outside the harvest season (3 months) — how can I make it last for years?

Procedure: First, create a written policy. Have the customer sign it. Then implement it.

You can't solve problems with words. Go, do it, fail, learn. That's the way.

Professional advice: Do process planning. Define the duration of each stage and tell the customer. Good luck.

Stats: Hiring staff increases costs by 40%, but output can increase by 60%. Net: +20%.

man this is so hard. i kept it simple just working. like you can do it too.

bro i've been doing this for 20 years here's my advice: don't overthink it. just do what you gotta do and go.

If you're struggling, ask other small business owners. They're your best guides. There's no magic bullet.

Same here.

Three different views emerged, they all complement each other. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right.

Good call starting this thread.

I agree with this. When making a decision first look at what data you have on hand.

Hope this helps.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. honestly any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

If I were you I'd go this route.

Let me summarize the topic since several different answers were given. anyway calculate this based on total annual cost, not the monthly bill.

here's how it went for us. when making a decision, also write down the cost of reversal.

a two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast. i mean correct me if Im wrong.

I'd say don't rush. Splitting your budget without knowing where you're losing users is just throwing money in the dark.

Thanks for writing this, that's the right way. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later. Hope this helps.

There are three things to check when doing this. The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

the answer above hits the nail on the head. if it's your firrst time start small; scaling comes later.

if I were you I'd go this route.
