Consistency Is The Key to Small Business Success
Most organisations change their major business systems infrequently. It is a major disruption to the business to find, acquire and implement business systems and it becomes difficult to correlate factors that can drastically affect the business if the system changes.
We have always been told that two are better than one. And this is exactly what collaboration does. It brings together the resources in talent, experience, finances and infrastructure from two different entities, leading to more effective problem solving. Reaching to new markets that is enabled through sharing and leveraging resources in a collaboration, increases and re-energizes the connection you have with established customers. It makes your firm a bigger part of the greater whole, and that there is power in that. Continual improvement in business is a long-term strategy to improve your business in terms of customer value and satisfaction, quality, speed to market, flexibility and reduced cost. Though there are short term strategies as well. A small business can grow if the resources are properly executed. If you fail to manage them well, the business may lose. Yet, many business owners resist and sabotage their rapid growth efforts by refusing to give up their operational roles. A business can be improved in various ways.
It involves consistently striving to improve your small business products or service according to the highest standards. It is a process that, in the long term, achieves:
- Enhanced quality of service delivery
- Recognition of customers, both internal and external
- Simplified processes and procedures
- Customer focus
- Attitudinal change
Choosing the right name will help ensure you’re creating the right image for your business. It’ll also help to distinguish it from your competitors. Before deciding on a name, you should familiarise yourself with the different registration requirements. A business name is the name under which your business trades and it needs to be registered in every state where trading takes place.
Nothing crystalizes what you bring to the table more than when you’re forced to articulate your competencies. Collaborating challenges you to articulate and distil your strengths and weaknesses. It makes you more aware than ever before of what you are great at, and what you do poorly. This understanding of your strengths and weaknesses can force you to ask for help when necessary and be brazen about how you can help others. We like to connect with people we like, share similar values and beliefs with. So, we seek out people in life who have same goals as ours, who are honest, kind, knowledgeable, helpful, etc. We start looking out at how they treat others, their moral character. Do we respect them?
All of us, whether bosses or employees, are eventually humans and we like to connect. A collaboration of two companies brings together the employees of both entities and they have to work together, keeping their differences aside. Collaboration converts energy from working with people who are different from you, into something positive. Two companies come together in collaboration to leverage the differences and work to identify what can be complementary about them. Hence, collaboration is also an important part of growth. When a company is ready to spread wings and spread, it looks to collaborate with other companies and partners. I have discussed the benefits of collaboration in detail in my other articles.
Professional development is necessary to provide your customers extreme value by committing to learn continuously and study about the now trends in your field. By spending time in research you will definitely set yourself apart from your competition. Another fast way to grow is to provide your customers with high-quality products at the same price as your competitor. When you think of growing a business, quality matters. Providing value to customers is extremely important to form lasting business relationships.
