Running a business takes more than selling products and offering services. It takes careful planning and sound business management. Successful business owners learn from their experiences, maximise opportunities and continually identify bigger and better ways to attract new custom and ultimately increase their sales. Are you doing this for your business?

Plan for sales

When you first establish your business, it is best practice to outline the key goals you are keen to achieve. Creating a comprehensive business plan will give you a platform from which to launch your business. If you have been trading for some time, it is good practice to update this plan regularly as you progress through the year – at the very least quarterly – to ensure your activity is aligned with your goals. This will enable you to quickly identify what is or isn’t working for your business, saving you both time and money, and ensuring you stay on track to achieve business success.

What sells? The most obvious place to start when re-writing your business plan is to determine which product or service provides the greatest level of profit. Also consider which you can deliver most efficiently so you achieve the best margins without costing you too much time or marketing investment.

Performance analysis

Marketing your business effectively needs time and money. Rather than throwing both away on activities that aren’t proving productive for your business, keep track of the activities that drive the greatest traffic to your website and the offers that successfully capture your visitors’ details and enable you to stay in touch, build relationships and ultimately add to your sales.

Be confident.

It is you who has worked so hard to make your business work. You will know the activities that have bombed and which have brought elation! Use this knowledge to the best of your ability and have confidence in what you know works for you, your customers and your business.
