Many people don’t know the difference between growth and scale. Of course, they both describe adding revenue to your business, but there is a slight difference.
Growth: growth refers to adding additional revenue to your business as well as new resources and expenses, such as staff.
Scale: scale refers to adding revenue to your business without adding too many resources. Essentially, doing more with less.
As a small business owner, delegating tasks that interfere with your progress is essential to business development.
By outsourcing the mundane, repetitive and time-consuming tasks, business owners can focus on the more profitable aspects and concentrate on growing or SCALING their business.
Surround yourself with the right team and you can turn your attention to increasing revenue without the usual stress!
Six tips to scale your business
Focus on your customers. Retention is one of the best ways to grow revenues. This means focusing on your customer satisfaction is key, for example: surveys, customer feedback and reviews. A VA can handle everything from sending customer feedback forms, data collection and even monitoring your customer service inbox.
Levelling up your marketing. We all know that marketing is an investment. Focusing on things like social media, influencer partnerships, email campaigns and content marketing, will all contribute to business growth if done correctly. 3. Review goals and KPI’s. It’s important for all businesses to set clear objectives and regularly reflect on how you are doing. Do you know how to set SMART objectives? Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely goals. By setting these objectives, you will have the right processes in place to track the results.
Prioritise learning and development. By giving yourself and your team the skills and insights you all need to thrive, you will not only retain great staff but you will be able to evolve as a business and adapt to market changes.
Grow your network. How you interact with your stakeholders and partners really does matter. In order to connect with other business leaders and experts you could attend business events and join business groups.
Optimise your systems and processes. Make your processes and workflows more efficient and audit internal processes to look for inefficiencies.
