Want To Grow And Scale Your Business?

 

What every business owner needs is clarity. You need a proven system you can follow to attract, sell, and service your customers.

If you think about it, that is one of the main reasons people buy into franchises. They might want to associate with a brand name, but they really want the systems that make that business successful. They also likely want the hands on training that comes with most franchises.

If you have your own business idea and want to develop it into a thriving business, you must set up your own systems for success. Many first time business owner does not even write down a business plan. Those that do spend too little time on a marketing plan when they do.

But even if you own a business with a business plan and marketing plan in place, you are missing a great deal of what you need to become a success. It is these missing pieces that cause 80% of new businesses to fail. This is also the reason that most business owner has to start and fail at several businesses before they succeed.

That main hidden problem is not crafting systems for the business that work. The entire process should always start with understanding who your business’s ideal customer is. You want to create a business avatar for your ideal customer. The one that will love what you do and offer, and who is actively hungry for it now.

Here is a secret to why most companies fail in marketing. Are you ready?

The secret is, that the company casts too wide of a marketing net. When a business owner is excited about their business, they are focused on why their business idea is so great. It is human and natural. They say to themselves “everyone will love this” so they think about showing the entire world what they have to offer. What the most successful companies in the world do when they start is they think about their ideal customer. That one person that needs and wants what they have right now.

IE: Even if you wanted to open your own barbershop. You should have an ideal customer in mind. Literally, who they are, where they live, what they like, their demographics, income, everything. Then you craft your entire marketing approach to reaching that one ideal customer.

Marketing to a successful business man will be different from marketing to all males within 10 miles. The successful business man will expect to pay more for service, but also expect certain services to be included. Even the way your business looks should be geared to your ideal customer. 

Your website, social media, copywriting, and entire approach should appeal to your ideal customer.
Now I know some of you are saying to yourself, but what about everyone else?

Don’t worry about reaching everyone yet. In order to be successful, you must reach your ideal customers, sell them, service them perfectly. Then you can start to add customer types to your marketing.

The reason for this is what attracts us all as humans. We respect authority (not talking about law enforcement, or government) but real subject matter or skills based authority. We take our cars to the best mechanic we can afford because we want to trust that they can fix our cars right, make them safe, and not overcharge us by cheating us.

Or another example is why we choose a doctor. We might see several doctors when we move to a new area. The one we go back to is the one we trust, and the one that treats us well.

That same trust or social authority for things is why we go to certain restaurants, go back for repeated visits to a local store, and so on in our lives.

We all know people who seem fake. They try to be all things to all people, some might call them two faced. Those people always seem to be trying to play people or trick them.

That is not what you want to seem like as a business or business owner. You want to be the expert and the trusted supplier. So, in order to grow and scale your business, the most important step you need to take first, even before your business plan, or marketing plan, is to properly identify your ideal customer. Later, you will use this information for your marketing plan, all of your copywriting, sales and marketing messaging, and even the specific products or services your business will offer.

Once you know that key part, you are ready to work on your business plan, marketing plan, and then to work on your core systems.

The core systems you develop should help your staff provide the best possible service, make clients happy, and encourage new customers to come to your business.

The key system steps you will need to design are Identifying Your Ideal Customer, Integrated Marketing, Growing and Scaling your business.

In addition to that, you also need a perfect business plan, and marketing plan that includes at least a 3 year operational budget plan.
