How to Grow Your Business

Things are going well with your business. Revenue is good, your employees are happy, and customers are satisfied. Great!

So what’s next?

If you’re like most business owners and entrepreneurs, doing well enough isn’t enough. You want to keep growing and building your business. Here are a few ways you can do that.

How to grow your business:

Focus on Sales

As a new company, most of your time and energy should be focused on sales. We’re talking about 75% of your time. If you’re more established, about one third of your time should be dedicated to sales. Does that sound crazy? It shouldn’t! The world is full of great products and killer customer service, but if you don’t sell your great product and get a chance to show your killer customer service, then it’s all kind of moot, isn’t it! So be obsessed with sales, and see how fast your business grows.

Expand

If you’re a brick and mortar store, then an obvious way to grow your business is to expand to another location. If things are going well at your first store and you feel like you can handle opening another without losing control, then go ahead! Scout locations and find the best fit for you to open yourself up to a new market.
