GROW ANY BUSINESS, IN ANY ENVIRONMENT!

GET BACK ON TRACK FAST, PICK ONE! The last few months have been challenging to say the least, for 69% of businesses. You could simply hang on and wait for it to pass, maybe get back to normal (if that ever happens again) or do something about it. The process is fundamentally about ReThinkingBusinessGrowth and doing things that the majority of businesses don’t. It all boils down to four simple things. 1. Attracting more clients 2. Better sales process. 3. Service experience and follow-up. 4. Cashflow It’s not just about a good product or service. Clients expect and want more, otherwise they go elsewhere. Join us at one of next free monthly introductory events to our ReThinkBusinessGrowth program. If you can’t get at least one idea that could help you business grow, it’s free! (Oh that’s right, it’s free anyway!) Email to grow@mybusinessnow.com.au to book into our next workshop. Just include join the next intro workshop and contact details in the email.

Get back on track fast! According to recent reports, 69% of businesses have been impacted financially by what we’ve all gone through the last few months. The majority of businesses have reported an 80% decline in business and that’s going to take some time to recover from, if at all. Data over the last couple of months has revealed that the average business had 21 days of cash reserves left, after that, the coffers were empty. Many businesses used the pandemic as an excuse (even after the first week) but the fact is that far too many businesses, including some of the corporates that had been effected, got to the situation they were in due to simple overspending and lack of engagement with the customers. I’ve heard the same thing from one person after another. Service is the worst it’s been for a while and part of that’s due to the lowest levels of engagement I’ve seen in some time. Businesses are starting to believe that engagement with clients means sending out a post via Facebook and then we’re done! That’s not it. The simple solution to growing businesses easier is just look at what 99% of businesses do, in order to attract and keep customers and do the opposite.

The easiest way to grow any business, regardless of what it is you do, is simply attract and then engage. That’s it, no rocket science. The first part of understanding what a business can do and how to go about doing it, is getting clear about what it does now and how it does what it does now. We call this part of the process QuckCheck360. It takes five minutes, or it could take longer, but it firstly gets you thinking about what you know and don’t know about business. It never ceases to amaze me how often you come across a reasonably successful business, that has no idea of client numbers and what they spend, let alone who their key accounts are. Clarity in business is everything. There’s not doubt, that analysis paralysis, can hold businesses back, but no understanding of what’s going on will stop it completely eventually. Below is a copy of our QuickCheck360 that gets you to honestly rate parts of the business, review where it is now and then looks at what it might take to KickStart the business and move forward quicker. If you’d like a full version copy just email info@ mybusinesssnow. com.au and request a copy of the QuickCheck.
