Four golden rules to grow any business
Four golden rules to grow any business
Trade, Trade Up, Trade Again and Efficiency
Every business depends upon the same 4 corner stones to survive and grow
- Trade – Get a new customer
- Trade up – sell each customer more
- Trade again – get the customer to come back more frequently
- Efficiency – how to achieve more with less resource or effort
Sometimes these are known as ‘penetration’, ‘weight of purchase’, ‘frequency of purchase’ and ‘efficiency’
As with all businesses finding new customers is the most expensive and the hardest.
Someone once described the act of finding new customers as the struggle between Faith and Fear
Faith
belief that we can do this and have enough training and skill to deliver
Fear
worrying that we will fail and face personal rejection once more – the hardest place for any human to be!
