You Know What You Want to Do With Your Business – So How Do You Do Achieve It?

Start with your Aims: Think
 What do you want to do?
 When do you want to do it by?
 What do you want to achieve?

An example would be: Increase our turnover by 10% by the introduction of 3 new products in the next year.

That’s the easy part – now you need to decide how you are going to do it. Think of al the ways that you can market your business and then work out the combination that you are looking at. Think of such marketing activities such as:

1. Produce a monthly newsletter for my past clients.
2. Aim to sign up 10 new newsletter subscribers each week.
3. Write 1 article each month and submit it to at least 5 major article databases.
4. Produce or buy at least 12 viral ebooks or reports each year.
5. Give these viral books away to my clients.
6. Add at least 3 new products to my range in the next year.
7. Add at least 3 product based web sites in the next year.
8. Add as least 1 page of extra content for each web site, each month.
9. Undertake a pay per click marketing strategy each month with a budget of at least $100 for the new and existing products.
10. Submit our web sites to at least 20 search directories within the year.
11. Enter into 3 joint ventures or be part of at least 3 giveaways in the next year.
12. Test my marketing strategy every month and make the necessary changes.

Once you have done this then sit down and work out what you have to do each month. All that is left is for you to roll up your sleeves and get down to the hard work. Good luck.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute.
