Accelerate Your Growth with Business Coaching
Accelerate Your Growth with Business Coaching
There are ten key factors to consider when planning the growth of your business:
1. Demand What is the current sustainable demand for your company's products and services? How many quarters ahead can you reasonably predict the company's revenue and earnings?
2. Business Model Does your business have an adequate product and service line, diversified client base, and margins to support and sustain growth? Is your company's business model scalable and does it have effective lead generation systems, a product development schedule, marketing and contact management systems, and turnkey joint-venture programs or must they be developed?
3. Exit Strategy Is your ultimate desire to automate, sell, or take the business public?
4. Market Size and Penetration How big is your market? What untapped niches exist?
5. Integration and Joint-Venture Opportunities What are the joint-venture and vertical integration opportunities that can help you quickly lower costs, access new leads, and add new products and services to your line?
6. Competition Are you in a commodity based business? How strong is your company's brand and positioning in the marketplace? Does your company have first mover advantage, or are you struggling to catch up to other dominant players?
7. Capital Do you have access to adequate capital and reserves to finance and sustain growth?
8. Management and Staff Are you able to recruit an experienced management team and staff to help you grow the company?
9. Industry Growth Are you in a growth, mature, or declining industry?
10. Economy What is current environment? How is your business affected in a cyclical economy? Is the economy expanding, stable, or in a recession?
Once you have answered these fundamental questions, establish target growth objectives such as:
Generate $ ___ in Revenue by ___ Date
Expand Client Base by ___ Number of People/Companies/Subscribers
Expand Company Offerings by ___ Products/Services
Your objectives should then be supported by a three phase implementation plan:
Phase I: Business, Marketing, and Product and Service Line Assessments and Gap Analysis
Phase II: Roadmap and Implementation Plan Design
Phase III: Optimization, Automation & Exit Strategy
Realize for most small business, there is no better investment that can as quickly and easily provide them with the right knowledge, plan, and tools as business coaching.
