When you run a business, you must always strive for improvement and grow your company. By growing and developing your business, more opportunities will arise, with your revenue and profit increasing – the more profit you bring in, the greater investment you can make.
Growing a successful business can be done in many ways, with different solutions working for different companies as some solutions depend on the type of business you run – for example, a tech company may benefit from having a secure IT infrastructure run by a company like CMIT Solutions. A childcare company could benefit from securing extra funds and investing these, it’s for you to decide what would work best for you.
Below we have put together three different tips for growing a successful business.
The people you employ to work for you can have a big impact on the growth of your company. When you are recruiting, don’t be afraid to advertise for a little longer than you normally do, to ensure you get a good selection of candidates.
Be clear on the values and experience you are after and consider having several stages within your interview process to really get to know the people you are considering. If you have any employees who know people that they would recommend, this is also a good idea as recommendations show people trust in them – a lot of small businesses turn to recommendations as this can be cheaper than using recruitment agents.
Ensure your business provides excellent customer service, from your accounts team to your marketing and sales team. Your customers are the heartbeat of your business and without them, chances are you wouldn’t have a business.
The better your customer service is, the more likely they are to shop with you again and recommend their friends and family members to contact you when they require your services. If a customer has a bad experience, they can be very quick to leave a bad review as often people are more likely to complain online than write something positive.
Too many companies make a lot of money but are afraid to reinvest their profits as they want to keep the profits to themselves or don’t want to risk losing them – This can stump the growth of a company. It is said you should try and reinvest around 20-30% of profits as you can use this to improve your processes, employ high-level staff members, and develop the tech you use. You can also reinvest in the premises your staff members work on, to help improve their happiness when coming into work.
