Economists are saying it, media is saying it, our Business Changing clients are saying it: it’s tough in business at the moment. There’s a lot of uncertainty, people aren’t committing to future work and leads are drying up. Now is the time to be proactive and smart about what you do in business, to help you get through. I've written an article about the eleven things you can focus on to give you a better chance of surviving these harder times. Here's the first four: Harder times mean you have to try harder. It is inevitable that your sales are quite possibly challenged and it will be nothing to do with anything you are doing – it is the general market. This means you need to try even harder in the sales arena (and that includes marketing, too). You might need to switch mode from “order taker” to “sales maker” — be proactive, be hungry, reach out more, try harder to drive more sales opportunities. It astounds me how salespeople are still not following up leads enough, if at all. I have two real-life examples around a bed and a swimming pool where salespeople have done no follow-up, which astounds me! Increase your marketing activity – it’s a proven scientific fact that the most successful companies coming out of harder times doubled down on their marketing vs the usual company who reduced it. The number one factor to do well in over these less buoyant times is to simply get proactive with sales and marketing and make the most of every lead that comes your way. How about you spend 30 minutes brainstorming and prioritising with your key people to move to a new level of proactivity around sales and marketing? Look after your current customers. Work harder on delivering a good to great customer experience and giving them what they want and need. You can’t afford to be losing current customers in harder times or to have poor word of mouth. Where can you improve your customer experience? Have a ROI mindset. Obviously you will be seriously reviewing your costs. Get deeper than you ever have into specific costs and review whether it is giving you the ROI expected. If not, do something about it. You will need to spend money — just make sure you spend it in the right areas. Cash is king. We all know it. The problem is so many companies run blind by not having a cashflow forecast. While it is assumption-based, you really need to know how your cash might look at the end of this year or next year. Information is power. If you foresee that your cash is likely looking sick, it will help motivate you to be more proactive to turn your cash outlook around. Otherwise you will get to your cash low point and have a lot of regrets you did not recognise this situation sooner. That's four things - you can find the remaining seven things you can do to get you through these harder times over on my blog, linked here. Let me know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/g2HN8ZNB
