Five steps for scaling your business
Evaluate and plan; the right business model is most important
Take a good, hard look at your business and think about how you are structured for growth and strategise how you will achieve sales. Is your business plan relying on growth from organic sales, capture of increased market share, entering new markets or recurring revenue models?
Each of these different plans have unique characteristics when understanding how your business’ systems, infrastructure and team will be able to accommodate growth. The best planning starts with a detailed sales growth forecast, as it will assist you in identifying and developing strategies to accommodate the growth in income against increasing costs that drive that growth. The more specific you are, the more realistic your sales acquisition plan and marketing strategy can be.
