$10 profit builder from Radio Shack

There are several ways Guerrillas can profit from Radio Shack's Up/Down Timer (catalog number 63-878).

Use it to keep track of time spent on various client projects. Keep track of telephone calls and their length, and find out how long it actually takes you to provide services that you price on a "project" basis. You may find that you are spending far more time than anticipated.

You can also use it to keep track of time spent on various marketing activities.

Use it as a countdown timer to keep presentations and teleconferences on schedule. Use the timer while rehearsing your presentations and call, to make sure you're not trying to include too much information for the time available.

During your presentation or call, you can see how much time remains, making sure that you leave time for questions at the end.
