4) Always find new ways to keep cost low:
Make sure your plan is thorough and be prepared if things do not go to plan. In your plan it is also wise to always overestimate expenses and underestimate revenues in the first couple of years. Starting a business? Working from home? Need a prestigious address for your business? Registered Address is able to provide you with affordable central London addresses with free mail forwarding for an affordable annual fee.
5) Get cash flowing: Find ways to get money up front and your cash gap will never be an issue. One way is to get customers to pay an up-front monthly fee to guarantee their delivery or availability of items they will buy continuously.
6) Find creative ways to increase profit: There are many ways to increase profit: Developing effective ways to convert more leads into customers, increasing the number of times those customers buy from you; increasing the average price point of your sales and increasing your profit margins.
7) Continuously test, measure and track your results: Through testing and measurement you can develop, improve or change your strategy or program.
8) Prioritise adding value instead of offering discount: Whenever you discount, you are taking money directly out of your pocket and directly from your bottom-line profit. Offer your customers added value all the way up and down your product or service line. One way could be to increase your margins with the low-cost or no-cost extras and any kind of, “freemium” offerings. This will encourage customer loyalty and word of mouth will spread across your customer base.
9) Seek help: Find someone who is successful in business, outside of your business, that you can rely on for objective business advice and to hold you responsible for getting results. You can even employ a business coach to give you a helping hand.
10) Take positive action: Believe in yourself and your abilities then take action! Always find ways of solving problems through planning and strive to overcome challenges. The best personal motivation book I have ever read is, Think &Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Please email me if you want a FREE e-book. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is another fantastic life changing read that I thoroughly recommend. Want to think like successful people then these are the books to buy and read!
