Use Your Employees

If you employ people, and you want to grow, then use them. Speak to them. Ask them if they’ve worked in similar businesses. What went well? Change what you can in a way which is good for your business. Use people’s experiences to launch your business onward. Know them, realise what their skills are and ensure you deploy them in the right places. This is the same when you employ. Think about the future. Think how you can leverage their experience and successes. You don’t just want to be reading their resume. Engage with them and see where things can go.

Plan Your Growth

You need to ensure you don’t spend all of your money when you’re managing your growth. Plan it. What are you going to do to make your business better? How much does it cost and how long will it take?

Instead, plan it all out properly and make sure you don’t steam through your cash and regret ever starting. Proper research and planning can see you a long way. It might be a drain on your time, but at least it won’t be a drain on your wallet.

Check Your Competitors

It’s important to check your competitors if you want to grow. They might have tried the same and failed. Why did they fail? Can you stop this from happening? Also, they might have been successful. So successful in fact that they’ve cornered a niche of the market, making it quite hard for you to break into and make a difference. You don’t want to outright copy them, but if something great is working, see if you can do the same.

Shout About It

There’s no point launching other revenue streams if people know nothing about it. How can they buy your products? Or engage with your services. You need to tell people. Use the power you already have. Websites, blogs, social media streams etc. Get in people’s faces. If you’re starting a new product, then consider launching it with a promotion. Money off or free delivery usually works well. Get reviewers involved. Send out some free items for them to test and write about. The publicity will flow naturally enough afterwards. Tell your existing customers if you can. You might have a mailing list you can use. Or, if you operate in a store you might want to fix up your advertising to ensure that you’re getting the message across. If you run a sales team, ask them to talk about it when they’re selling your existing products.
