How to get customers for your business

0 comments
Identifying your target market is something important for every small business. Mostly, we get into two types of target market – the Natural Market & the Niche Market. What does each of them mean to us?

The Natural Market – When I mention natural market, it means the prospects that surround you neighborhood, the people whom are meeting or calling them daily, your relations, etc.Yes! Pick up your telephone directory or mail list & start contacting each of them to tell them about your product or service. The benefit you gain here in the natural market is that it’s easy to get appointments as most of them are known to you. You get sufficient time to convince them about the value what you provide. You may also get a sale or more referrals by them.

The Niche Market – Let me now talk about the Niche market. After spending some time prospecting in the natural market, gradually you will come to know the proper age group or location or professionals who are in dire need of your product or service & are ready to buy too. Once this is known, you need to have a signature presentation ready for them, create customized brochure for the niche market & start pitching to them. This always cuts short the selling time & leads to quicker prospecting for getting leads.

Why entrepreneurs fail business?

Having read a lot of those positive P’s and S’s in several articles & books, I wanted to mention something on those W’s.Yes! There are some negative W’s that creates a lot of damage for any start-up business. Being an entrepreneur, I too had faced the consequences on the same. Let me tell you about those 3 W's –

The 3 W’s are Wrong Product, Wrong location, Wrong Person.

Well, there are seem different but the fact is they are interconnected to each other. Even if one is better and the other is worse you get the damage. Let us say, you have designed a good product but the market for buying the same is not there in the particular geographical location or else even if both are fine then the sales person promoting same is not confident enough to explain about the product.

Another instance where start-ups fail, can be that the organization might be having excellent sales persons but the product is not fine & when location is good then it’s getting tough to achieve sales. The market might be choosier on having the perfect product with no flaws.

I say that the 3 W’s should be converted into 3 P’s i.e. Perfect Product, Perfect Location and the Perfect salesperson for the job. These three things are important for any start-up business to get successful. Talk to us to know more.

One of the major ingredients of marketing is to know about your competitors. Even you have been in the business since long time, you have to find out your competitors regularly and update your competitor research. 

You need to find out the similarities and differences between your product and their product, strengths and weaknesses of both the firms, difference in prices of the products and many more things. It also includes your plans to compete and the strategies that you use to beat the edge. Competitor analysis is an essential part of the corporate strategy.

Importance of Competitor Analysis-

Tips to become a Successful Entrepreneur

0 comments
Here are some tips for those who want to start their career as entrepreneurship. These can be helpful for starting and running a business or even selecting an organization to join. A good and successful idea is often found with shallow introspection rather than by having a look at external sources. If a creator is passionate about his venture and works on the idea, then his venture will surely become successful; in spite of markets highs or lows.

If you don’t love your work or job, it’s impossible to start a business and run it successfully. Building a business, setting targets and chasing them is not the final task, but creating a venture is about being able to do something on a permanent basis with complete involvement.

1.    Build a product or service that you will pay to use or directly use it-
It is vital to start producing a product or a service that you can use for yourself or love to get involved in it; something that you keep on doing, even if it doesn’t bring more money at initial stages.

2.    Build a ‘Back Bone’ Business model-
When you started to work on an area, it is important to think of its business model. This may not come right after your first attempt; it may also take some months or years. If you are starting a product or service, the people should be dependent on the product or service and use it.

3.    Create an asset around your venture-
When you look for an expansion, the scale of assets in the financial papers will matter most. An investor or even a customer sees your financial assets in your annual report, but not your turnover. Every time look into your financial spending and cash flow patterns.

4.    Start going with the wave-
No one can try going against the flow of nature and economic cycles. Keep on your eyes open to figure out an upscale market. Investigate on the spending patterns of the people around you, have an eye at the government’s budget and find out the primary agenda.

Every venture has its own life cycle of starting, growth, maturity and end phases of life cycle. These life cycles are directly influential on the spending structure of the government and the people. 

5.    Carry some magnets to attract masses-
Magnets are nothing but smart and successful people. It’s most important to invite smart people to your business. No matter how difficult is to bring the smart people, its worth of getting smart people to be a part of your organization.

Once they are in, you should use the skills and expertise and then make them focus on the agenda of your organization.

6.    Build a culture, not just a product-
Human mind is an astonishing creator. Some minds may create and some minds may destroy. Trillion-dollar businesses like coffee, food, auto, software, aviation, real estate work on the principle of culture, but not the product.

These types of businesses dig deep into the human behavior and build a platform for intellectual exchange and socializing that has now become one of the parts of our daily life.

So, follow these simple, but most powerful tips to attain success in the business. Want any assistance in setting up a business then talk to our expertise in Shriyans Management Consultants P Ltd .

4.    We can generate all the ideas we’ll ever need if we sit down at a meeting- Having a meeting and discussing the business ideas and to feed off each others creativity and enthusiasm is a great thing. However, great ideas shouldn’t restrict to a meeting, but they should be shaped and through an ongoing dialogue.

What is strategic Business Planning?
Strategic Business Planning is one of the ways to make out the long-term goals and to construct a route for the business to fulfill its objectives.

A strategic business planning includes the present and future planning, company’s mission in terms of future expansion, strengths and weaknesses, future opportunities, and some threats that which may occur by competing business rivals.

Why do businesses need strategic business planning?
Small businesses need these strategic business plans as they found to compete with larger corporations in this highly competitive world. Due to the rapid increase in technology, the business management is becoming complex and for this purpose, the strategic business planning helps the business to foresee and quickly react to the market changes and can improve the areas that are lagging behind. For instance, we can’t say that the company is going well if it has good financial control. We can’t determine the future of the organization and the direction. Here, some measures have to be taken to evaluate and improve upon the controllable variables.

Here are some success factors for a business to achieve its vision and mission:

   1. Should maintain quality standards of the product.
   2. Continuous market research to fulfill your customer needs.

How often we have cracked our heads when we are not getting sales inspite of several advertising done in the market? How often we have blamed our team for the failure of not getting business? How often our blood boils up when we see the ad expenses soaring high & higher?

Well all these years, working with several top notch companies as a Sales Professional I had learned the mistakes made by them and this has helped in proper market planning when the time came to market my company and its services.

The One simple formula I have learned is – “Marketing should be done at the right time & to the right target with the right tools”. This really helps you in controlling costs & getting quality leads that have a better chance to become sale.

Most businesses either miss this point or may neglect this. They prefer to continue spending bags of money on advertising, shouting at their sales team and in the end blaming each other for the failures. This saga will continue until you seriously plan to do something differently.

With a proper market planning you can surely save those millions of rupees every year spent on advertising that yield no results. There are several cost-effective advertising techniques that help you reach the target market. You need to incorporate messages that are having compelling and interesting messages which may match the interest of your target customer.

I can go on saying more, but there is never an end to it. Shriyans Management Consultants P Ltd is small business marketing experts who can guide you to successful marketing. 

Writing a Business Proposal

0 comments
What is a Business Proposal?
A written form of offers from a seller to the prospective buyer is a business proposal. In the complex sales process, business proposals are one of the main key steps whenever the buyer believes more than price in a purchase.

There are 3 categories of business proposals. Formally solicited, informally solicited, Unsolicited-Solicited proposals are written forms in response to the published necessities which are being contained in a
Request for quotation (RFQ), Request for proposal (RFP) and for invitation for bids (IFB).

In a RFQ, the  customer wants to buy huge amount of a particular item. Here, he will not consider the price, but considers many other factors related to the product. Here, we should include the cost data, small descriptio ,n and the issues that the customer wants to know, such as quality control, etc…

In a RFP, the seller will provide complete stipulations of what the customer wants to buy and some other options to evaluate the product. When the need is not satisfied by the product or service, then the customer prefers to have an RFP. They range from 10 pages to 100 pages without cost data.

When the customers want to buy a service such as construction, then they will have IFB’s. Here, the primary consideration is the price and they also mention the other requirements. These proposals are lengthy and most of the length includes the cost estimation and schedules.

Sometimes the customer will issue a Request for Information (RFI), before an RFP or RFQ or IFB. The main purpose of the RFI is to acquire marketing intellect about the products, services, and the vendors that are available in the market.

Informally solicited proposals are the written forms resulting from the conversations between a prospective customer and the vendor. This type of proposal is normally known as sole source proposal, as this is from a single vendor and doesn’t compete with other vendors. Here, there are no customers’ needs; just the information is gleaned from customers meetings. These proposals will be there from 2 to 25 pages. These are simply called as marketing brochures.

Want a business proposal written then take the help of professional business writers.
