Self-Sufficient Business
Growth
by Shannan
Hearne
Growing a business is hard work. Regardless of what
you sell and how you sell it, getting and maintaining
customers is a full time process.
However, there is a point where you reach self-sufficient
business growth. This is the point at which your
business
becomes like a snowball rolling downhill and the process
of rolling keeps the business growing. Your job at
that
point is to maintain steam and keep everyone happy.
That's the good news. So how do you get there?
There are four major components to attaining self-
sufficient business growth.
1. Time.
You have to be in business long enough to develop
the other three components. There is no short cut
to this.
2. Satisfied Customers
The main fuel of your self-sufficient business growth
machine is happy, repeat customers who advertise for
you by telling other people who become happy, repeat
customers.
3. Solid Business Reputation.
This is an off-shoot of number two. A solid business
reputation is what you have when people think of buying
a product or service like you sell and then naturally and
logically think of you as the person to get it from.
Time
and happy, satisfied customers help you develop your
solid business reputation. Never giving less than 110%
customer service develops all three.
4. Self-Propelled Marketing.
Self-propelled marketing is things like link exchanges
and traffic exchanges and other programs that create a
lasting AND growing marketing machine. A busy,
growing web site is a self-propelled marketing machine.
Once you work through the ramp-up process and develop
all four of the necessary components of self-sufficient
business growth, you begin to experience success in spite of
yourself rather than success as a result of yourself.
Its not
the point where you can sit back and rest on your laurels,
but
it is the point where you can occasionally slow down and
take
a deep breath.
Self-sufficient business growth should be the goal of
everyone
in business who desires to reach the next level. The
next level
is where ever you dream of being next but aren't at yet.
Everyone needs a day-to-day operating plan. But
designing
that operating plan to lead to self-sufficient business
growth
is a way to certain success.
