The new Small Biz Matters program is all about People, Policy, Purpose. It is conversational and chatty and dedicated to empowering small businesses and their advisors to engage with policy and advocacy. Why? Because what Government does very much Matters to all Small Biz. Good and bad. A labour of love, in 2014 Alexi Boyd started broadcasting to give back to the local small business community. She knew information and support was lacking. Now with over 220 podcasts, the show is sought by PR Agencies and Government departments for its rich, informative content. Media Partners include universities, the Australian Tax Office, ASBFEO, COSBOA and international fintechs. Sponsored by the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman’s office, each week we sit down with experts, advocates, business leaders, policy makers and politicians to dive into specific areas of government policy that affects your business and clients. We’ll give you a heads up on what’s coming down the policy pipeline, find out who’s fighting in your corner and empower you with ways you can influence those decisions which affect your business every single day. The program is broadcast weekly on Tuesdays live on local community radio Triple H 100.1FM, through the Community Broadcasting network, and wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.
with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management Services
Date: 30 January 2018
We love our credit cards in Australia; that’s no secret and for many the reason we stick to this method of spending is for the “Points”. However the system seems to be grinding to a halt.
Many of our listeners would have heard about the recent changes to frequent flyer points. Back in May 2017 there was an overhaul of the point system in which major banks as credit card providers started scaling back their rewards offerings. As an example ANZ ended its relationship with American Express.
So with all these changes are the days of points flyer a thing of the past? Or do we as small business owners (who get little rewards from anything these days) just need to work smarter to make the most of the points system.
Today we welcome to the show The Points Whisperer Steve Hui, Australia's Frequent flyer points concierge..
Topics we’ll be covering:
- Broadly your small business journey and what led you to start your own business
- Tell us about this fantastically unique concept for a business and how you consult to other businesses?
- How do you use LinkedIn to improve your business development prospects
- Tell us a little bit about your altruistic project - Linfluencers (I can talk a little about this, and how to use Linkedin like-minded people)
- Are the days of points really over or is this change for the best for small business?
- Why SME are missing out on this perk, because even their accountants don’t understand it
- Can you give us some top tips to make the most of points?
- Do you spread it out amongst several points providers as you shop or specifically work the system of one retailer to get better points?
- Do points trump sales?
- How can businesses make the most of their points for travel and other benefits for their employees and the business owner?
- What are some common misconceptions
- Upgrades are not better value
- How do upgrades work
- Chasing status (and status credits) only works for some
