10 Tips for Growing Your Small Business
A
n encouraging 59% of small business owners surveyed by the National Small Business Association’s last year indicated that they expect the U.S. economy to continue growing through this year. The NSBA’s 2017 year-end report also indicated that a high percentage of the survey respondents said they are very confident about the future of their businesses. For a business of any size that is looking to grow, the first order of the process of building and sustaining an expanding enterprise is to lay out a clear plan that structures your growth plans. Here are some important tips to help you grow your business. 1. IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS’S HOMEPAGE. Make sure your business website homepage looks appealing, contains all essential information to help site visitors quickly gain a clear understanding of what your business is about, and has links to internal pages that work perfectly. Also, get help with SEO, and methods for making it as easy as possible to do business with your company through your site. Make sure your homepage is:
w w w. am er ica nliquidwa ste.co m
• Uncluttered • Easy to navigate • Has easy-to-read conversational web copy • Makes clear the value of your product • Contains a Call To Action (CTA) Use web A/B testing to track your increase in lead generation before and after you implement changes to make these improvements, and before future rounds of new site upgrades. 2. LEARN TO USE ANALYTICS. Users of so-called “big data” now constitute a massive market, predicted to exceed $200 billion annually by 2020. Using consumer data helps businesses understand market behaviors that provide insights for future planning in virtually every industry. You do not need expensive applications and other resources to glean the data you want or to convert it to actionable information. Through your business’s website and its social platform pages, you can apply free, freemium, or some of the S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 8 A M E RI C A N LI Q UI D WASTE 7
less expensive premium tools to acquire insights into your customers’ and business consumer prospects’ behaviors, as they pertain to your business’s service offerings. Some examples include Google Analytics: • Page visits • Bounce rate • Average time on your site • How your visitors arrive at your site • Unbounce tool These data can provide insights into areas of needed marketing adjustments, and for optimizing your landing page to increase conversions. 3. OFFER A GREAT BLOG. The majority of today’s professional marketers view blog posts as the most important of inbound marketing activities. A good blog can drive traffic to your site, and can help convert visitors to new customers. Over 80% of modern shoppers do research online before making some types of purchases. Your blog can go far in creating an impressive online presence for your business and for establishing you as an authority in your field. By making your content evergreen (of
8 AMERIC AN L IQUI D WA S T E S EP T EM BER 2018
lasting relevance to readers), your blog will need updating only periodically, which brings you a strong value for your investment in the blog. In your blog, include: • Links to individual blog posts • Helpful information about your company • Pictures relevant to the posts’ content • Interactivity with customers (Respond to their posted questions.) Over 90% of consumers take the recommendations of friends and family members. If a customer “likes” your company or makes a positive comment about it, that entry attracts attention of other members of their social network, causing a positive word-of-mouth effect that can be a significant contributor to the growth of your business. 4. INVEST IN SYSTEMS. Attempting to do it all on your own can be a very selflimiting approach. In order to successfully manage growth, you need operational, including tech, systems that can accommodate the array of performance demands that naturally come along with expansion. In addition to having a modern CRM system, you may need standard e-commerce software, and you certainly

need a user-friendly UI for your electronic data systems. You will need accounting software that makes sense for higher volume receivables, payables, payroll, monthly reports, metrics tracking and financials processing. Rules of thumb: automate as much as possible, and outsource as necessary. 5. ALWAYS HAVE A “PLAN B”. Be prepared to pivot rapidly, as necessary. For small businesses with only one or several people doing the work, you especially need to think ahead to those inevitable times when things don’t go as planned. As the business continues to grow and operations become increasingly complex, it becomes more difficult to adjust to surprises quickly. So, develop a habit of adjusting your plan for handling emergencies and contingencies, in order to be best prepared for the unexpected. 6. TAKE CALCULATED RISKS. Of course, small business expansion comes with inherent risks. It is natural to hesitate to step outside one’s comfort zone, but it is sometimes necessary to shake things up to make the decision that is best for yourself and your business.
PRoduCTs ComPany
This is not to suggest that you close your eyes and lunge forward hoping for good luck alone to carry you to success. But, by keeping a clear focus on your goal, actively identifying possible obstacles, assessing the risk level, and making a practical step forward, your calculated risk will feel more like an exhilarating adventure than a leap too far. 7. Learn Finance Management for Growing Businesses. Even the world’s most successful companies must focus diligently on their bottom lines. Always maintain a cushion in your current period budget for expenses that you might not have expected or haven’t accounted for as part of your expansion. An accumulation of little costs can upset a budget. Make sure that your planned expenditures and capital investments make the best sense for your both your growth plans for the period and your cash flow position. Rule of thumb: Always over-budget projected costs, to prevent finding yourself in a difficult cash flow situation later. 8. USE BRANDING METHODS THAT WORK FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. Small businesses struggle to maintain an image of financial viability and service reliability. In addition to strong

financial management and strategic growth planning, customer relationship management (CRM) strategies need to be part of the foundation of your long-term management plan. Spreadsheets are not a sufficient tool for customer data storage. Data must be made more accessible and safer as your base of data expands. An inexpensive, reliable, CRM system will help you provide much more efficient service for your customers and to manage your marketing initiatives. When you have only a few customers, it’s already time to start thinking like a business that has thousands. Make your processes expandable accordingly, to ensure that your service stays consistent as you experience growth of your business. Also, develop professional bonds. Research to learn about upcoming industry events in your local area, and attend these. Attending these and becoming a familiar face will help build a profile for your organization within your market. 9. AVOIDING TRENDY GROWTH HACKING ADVICE. First, avoid the temptation to measure your business’s success only in terms of your growth metric. Focus on profitability, cash flow, debt to equity ratio, customer satisfaction, and other key performance indicators (KPIs), to ensure that you do not allow your business’s reputation with vendors and lenders to be jeopardized. Protect your financial position as you manage

growth, to maintain and grow your brand image as a sustainable, well-managed business. Avoid growth hacking measures that may accelerate growth over the short-term, but that can escalate long-term costs. For example: • Frenzied Emailing — The richest source of new email addresses is your current contacts directories. Over-exploitation of your users’ contacts can cause you to receive a high rate of negative feedback from disgruntled email recipients and from your current contacts. • Black-Hat SEO Tactics — Professionals who were getting paid to implement ways to attempt to trick Google and other search engines have had to move on to other employment over recent years. Mainstream users have come to understand that trying to fool the search engines with various linking schemes, paid links, spam and dubious information architecture are poor approaches to attempting to gain ground in search engine rankings. At some point, you can expect to find your business being penalized—a rightly dreaded outcome. 10. HAVE CONFIDENCE. A million tips for small business growth cannot replace your own instincts. Have confidence that the process of business success works and that you will succeed if you follow the basics of identifying a market need, providing strong customer service, communicating well with customers and employees, and obey rules of prudent small business finance management. Be flexible in embracing viable opportunities that come your way, though not included in your growth plans. If you’re prepared for growth with your strategic plans, have scalable systems in place, and a healthy profit margin and cash flow, you’ve put your business in a position to that frees you to take a calculated risk in in a way that you know makes sense and that you can feel excited about. Onward! Growth is still naturally scary. It can feel safer and more practical just to stick with your current level of operations and avoid taking any risk. But, if you’ve laid a solid foundation for success, you’re ready! Go ahead! Take it to the next level!

SPOTLIGHT
TRANSFORMING YOUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IMAGE, RIGHT NOW!
A
& C Septic Services, LLC, has been building its upstate New Jersey family business since mid2011. Cheri Errico runs the business office, does the creative marketing, including much of the branding design, processes receivables and payables, does all special event management, and handles much of A & C’s customer relations. We spent some time with this extraordinarily busy business owner recently, talking about typical industry topics, when it became clear that we were talking to an unique individual in the industry, in any industry—a legitimate change agent. After 20 years with the Municipal Utilities Authority (where A & C currently dumps its septic), Jon Errico gave up his job. He and his wife Cheri then embarked on full-time management of their own business. Jon’s public works job had started his thought process toward the prospect of operating a septic services business in the area. Inspiration — We Can Do That! Cheri reflects on how it all started, “Jon had observed that a lot of trucks outside our area were traveling a pretty long
w w w. am er ica nliquidwa ste.co m
distance to service customers’ locations near us. He realized that there must be a need, since they were coming from far away to provide service here. He was already well versed on the industry, and the whole process of waste management. Jon had acquired a lot of knowledge in the industry and had developed a strong skill set over the years that applies well to septic business operations. Together with Cheri’s impressive range of business and administrative management skills, the move to independent business ownership in the industry certainly made sense for Jon and Cheri. SERVICE — WE’RE DOING IT BEST! Cheri modestly accounts for what distinguishes A & C, “It’s just that old fashioned customer service. You get me when you call. There’s no answering machine—no push this button or push that number. And, that’s something we take a lot of pride in.” (A & C answers the business phone 24 hours per day.) “We do more for our customers than they can get elsewhere in our market. When there’s a need or a problem, we respond more quickly.” S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 8 A M E R I C A N LI Q U I D WASTE 31
Out on customers’ sites, she proudly reflects her husband’s quality ethic, “He leaves the tank and area in such pristine condition that customers can’t tell that the service has been performed. He takes his time with tarps—so no waste is left on anyone’s yard. No dirt from digging is ever left over. He takes a lot of pride, and he’s dependable. He’s not a 9 to 5 guy. He says his day is done when the work is done.” In her relaxed and succinct manner, Cheri wraps up her thought on this point, “We just genuinely care about our customers’ satisfaction. And, we get a lot of feedback from customers who let us know that they notice that.” SUCCESSFULLY NURTURING A HOME-BASED SEPTIC BUSINESS A & C is still a small business right now, though it has been moving forward. The company currently has 140 portable toilet units, constituting a division that Jon’s step-son now helps manage. They’ve also invested in their first luxury toilet trailer, and plan to add inventory of those units. Jon continues to do all the septic pumping. And, now A & C is looking to hire an employee to help with the septic. Cheri assess this as the business’s best year so far.

WOW! SOMETHING ACTUALLY DIFFERENT! Just take a look through the A & C Septic Services website photo gallery to see the fine touches Cheri Errico adds to the company’s portable restrooms for birthday parties and other special events. Cheri and Jon are working to remove the impression of a portable restroom as the kind of space that users have experienced in the past. Cheri has proven that the exteriors can be presented more attractively, with little awnings, and the interiors can be made surprisingly light and charming. She adds little vases of fresh flowers and other quaint accents, to brighten up the spaces and add a surprise pop of color and interest. It’s such a refreshing change of image, exceeding all of customers’ expectations, and enhancing their events with such upgrades from the usual strictly necessary utility that people dreaded using. WHO NEEDS BRANDING?! The special service model described in the section above has been serving A & C very well, in terms of a branding vehicle. Cheri notes that the company doesn’t spend much time on traditional physical branding approaches. They focus much

more on social branding, and enhancing services, which cultivates positive word of mouth from satisfied customers. She explains, “Uniforms would be nice, and they’re less expense on the employees, but we have financial priorities in other areas at this point.” And, because the business is located on the family’s farm, they prefer not to have signage at the location, of course. But, Cheri emphasizes, “We do maintain signage on the trucks; we feel strong about having the constant billboard effect of our advertisements on the trucks. We update those. And, I just updated the A & C logo. We want to keep it fresh, modifying it every few years or so, to keep the image looking new. I don’t want it to look too different, to keep it recognizable as ours.” SHARING COMMON INDUSTRY WOES But, “finding the right fit in hiring is not easy,” Cheri reports. Not a lot of people can handle the waste part. We’re very passionate about changing the old cliché about what we do. And, as for the customers, many see it as a very rough job, but they want to pay peanuts. We set a rate for what we do, and we don’t really provide much wiggle room on it.” Cheri also discussed a problem we rarely hear much about
w w w. am er ica nliquidwa ste.co m
in the way of solutions, “We service Cape May, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Ocean City, and other areas along the southern New Jersey coast, where a lot of construction goes on, as well as inland throughout the Egg Harbor Township. Contractors need the units, but don’t want to pay for them and don’t require their workers to respect them. We’ve had a hard time building respect, but we’re getting there.” EDUCATING CUSTOMERS — WE’RE GETTING THERE! And, this is where A & C are proving themselves to be legitimate industry change agents. It’s hard to state anything more concisely than Cheri does, so we just listened, “We have made progress in building respect for the units and the company, by reinforcing what we expect from the customers. We have a necessary motto: There’s no humorous aspect to “portable restrooms”. We’ve found that sharing it opens the way to helping customers understand the financial challenges for this kind of company.” Jon and Cheri have learned that the simple adjustment in communicating about the units as portable restrooms can help in making a difference in the way the users of the units on customers’ sites perceive and treat them.
S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 8 A M E R I C A N LI Q U I D WASTE 33
Cheri continues, and we eagerly digest her professional wisdom, “The trucks are hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s no joke what we have to do to provide the service. A lot of my friends on social networks are fighting for this respect, and we deserve it. Kids want to tip the units. It’s been almost like the units have a stamp on them,” she jokes (proving that she, in fact, does keep a healthy sense of humor about herself and her business’s problems). But we’re getting it done. After a while, if you don’t require and demand respect, you’re not going to get it.” But, she points out that they have removed units in some cases, after numbers of conversations without results. Cheri says that most, if not all of the contractors A & C works with now do understand the kind of relationship of mutual respect that the company needs to be able to maintain with customers in order to sustain its success in the market. One contractor even fired an employee for repeatedly defying instructions on the job site not to vandalize the portable toilets. “It’s been encouraging to see that we have more and more people backing us,” Cheri noted. And, A & C provides its customers with the highest standards of service, “You’ll never see a unit of ours in disrepair. If they don’t meet our high standards for a job site,
they’re brought back and replaced.” So, this is how it’s done by portable restroom business owners in New Jersey who know how to change the game for service providers in the portable restroom industry in their area. We’re more than a little in awe. WHERE TO GO FROM HERE We really have little interest in adding services at this point. Our future goals are currently focused on expanding in the area of expanding in luxury toilets. We do offer grease trap cleaning, clearing lines, being so small, trying to keep up with we have. We hope to hire one or two employees over next year, and get a new and larger truck. We did get a new toilet truck at the start of the year. However, we won’t take a big leap until we see a high demand, and that, for us, has been in the portable restroom business. That service has been in very high demand in our area, so it’s the natural direction for us to grow. ADVICE FOR FELLOW BUSINESSES IN THE INDUSTRY “Be fair to yourself — Get Paid!” Cheri adds the sage words we’ve heard from other seasoned business owners in the industry, “I’d suggest to people to maintain their own

personal value. Time is precious to all of us. When you’re an entrepreneur and putting your life on hold to build your business, don’t devalue yourself. Set a rate that you can grow with. And, she jokes, “The customer is always right—but not always.” And, finally, she offers, “Customers can put some high demands on you. It’s okay to say, “No.” She says it’s one of the things she and her husband have become more confident in. “Don’t undercut yourself. If you’re willing to do anything and everything customers want, that’s one thing. But, if you’re going to do it, charge for it.” Business owners like Cheri and Jon Errico are true industry change agents. By educating customers, they’re transforming the very nature of the way their services are perceived and used in their market, and by extension, in other markets. They’re also giving users something truly fresh and new in the experience of using the portable restroom facility in the northeast. In that process, they’re affording the users a new level of expectation of what the industry can offer and, commensurately, a new level of respect for it.
