A Online Business Needs To Grow

       

-You will miss one hundred percent of the shots that you never take,-Wayne Gretsky

        How many times during any given day or week that you are presented with a chance to try something new? To do something new? To learn a new way to do business or to grow your business? How often have to dismissed those opportunities?

    Not now.

    Not today.

    Maybe I will revisit later. Later has yet to arrive. The job of being an online business person is not just to hold on to what ever territory that you have carved out for yourself, but to grow and expand. You can always tell the difference between something that is living and something that is dead. The dead thing is laying still.

    If you are not fine tuning or adding new things to the way you conduct business you are dying as a business.

    “But business has been good this year. I made more than last year.”

    Really?

    Do you know who your competition is?

    Do you know who is chasing you? Who is trying to cut into your territory? Who is trying to pick up your customers?

    Do you even know who your customers are?


    I am here today to suggest to you that you try something new each week. Try one new thing each week. Once a week. Four times a month is a good start. Not that difficult to do at all. My advice to you the online business person is if you do not know who your customers are you get to know them. It is one thing to sell to someone or to provide a service. It is another thing all together to know them. You do not have to become friends with them, but you should know more about them. Familiarity breeds loyalty. People are much for likely to loyal to a business where they are well know. Do you feel more comfortable at a restaurant where you are just a customer or where the own says hi and the servers know you favorites?

    Use social media to get to know them better. To make them feel comfortable as your customers and the best part is that if they grow to like you and appreciate the services you provide they will recommend you to others. Your customers will grow your customer base.

    Okay guys that is it for today. Remember to stumble us on stumble upon and to tell a friend about this site.
