*************************************************************

Soloists who are aware of the common pitfalls of marketing are better able to keep their businesses on track through successful marketing.

Basic marketing skills are vital to the future of running a successful solo business. But what, exactly, is marketing? Here is the definition I give to clients and people who attend my presentations and workshops.

Marketing is what you do to ultimately get or keep a customer - it is about positioning and having a process. Marketing is entering a new paradigm, which means structuring every activity within your business to meet the needs of your customer. It is about focusing every aspect of your operation to include a marketing function. It is also about understanding marketing strategies, the tools of marketing and the language of marketing.

Successful soloists take a marketing approach rather than selling. So what are the seven deadly sins of marketing?

1. Selling rather than marketing
Selling revolves around the acquisition of profit through volume of sales. Marketing identifies the needs of the customers in order to generate profits through satisfying their needs.

2. Not believing in your product, your service or yourself
You have to strongly believe in your product or service for it to succeed. How many people give up on their idea because of fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of being different, fear of doing the wrong thing or even fear of success?

3. Not enough resources
Many people tell me they don't have enough resources, for example money, glossy brochures or a large enough marketing budget. I argue, how many resources does it take to write an idea down on a piece of paper and set some goals and strategies? In our very busy lives I'm not arguing that you do more. I believe a solution is to cut something out! If you watched 1 hour less of television a week that would give you 52 hours! What could you achieve with this time?

4. Doesn't meet a market need
This is a fundamental principle of successful marketing. It is imperative that your product or service corresponds to your customers needs in order to increase sales and maximise profits. NASA in the USA spent $1 million in research and development producing a ballpoint pen that works in zero gravity. The Russians gave their cosmonauts pencils!

5. Failure to network
Networking is a vital skill to possess and any opportunity to network should be viewed as a potential to gain new customers, turn leads into advocates and increase repeat business for your products or services. People form relationships and relationships are built by networking.

6. Not building a personal brand
It is essential that your product or service stands out in the crowd. The most effective way to achieve this is by building customer loyalty around the branding of your names and symbols associated with your product or service. Dick Smith is a master at building a multi-million dollar business around his personal brand.

7. Trying too hard without a system
Without a well-designed and precisely researched marketing strategy, you will not have a clear focus on what you are trying to achieve. It is imperative that when establishing a successful marketing strategy that you clearly define your plan, mission, and target markets needs, set achievable goals and identify your strengths to enable working towards achieving the objectives you have set out.

10 Ways to Improve Your Business Operations

*************************************************************

Every new day gives you a chance to move forward from your present situation. You can improve your business on a number of fronts: by increasing profits, reducing losses, getting more customers, expanding the markets, becoming more visible in the community, going public or a number of other items deemed desirable.

You must have a vision of what you want to achieve, where you want to go, and what you want the business to become. Learn ten ways you can improve your business:

1. Start the year in high gear. Take a notebook (or a laptop or PDA) and jot down your thoughts and plans for the year. It's the time to get excited to the prospects of this New Year! List down ideas on new product lines, or new projects that you want to take on. Write down your ideas on how to expand and energize your business. Only through innovation and continuing adoption of relevant new products and ideas can your business improve its competitiveness and profitability. Start the ball rolling with financers, lenders and bankers if you need to take on additional capital.

2. Dust off your business plans. Review, review and review your business plan. See how far (or little) your business has taken shape from your original idea. Many entrepreneurs write a business plan at the start, only to forget about it. Some stray away from their plans - and fail. Go find your business plans and update it. Since your business' inception, a number of factors must have changed - from the overall business climate to your product line. Take all those changes into consideration, factor in your and your family's goals, and get a clear assessment of the direction of your business. Get in touch with your business advisers, if any.

3. Rekindle your relationship with your customers. The start of the year is the perfect time to tap your customer database and get in touch with your existing customers. Whether by phone, email or letter, contact your customers to greet them "Happy New Year!" and remind them that your business is ready to serve them this year. You need to constantly look for ways to encourage repeat business. Although marketing and advertising are important to get more customers, quality, service and customer satisfaction are what keep a business successful in the long run.

4. Evaluate your pricing. Think about raising your rates. Now is the appropriate time to inform clients that your rates are going up. Just be sure to check out what the competition's doing and make sure your prices or rates aren't too low. You don't want to overprice yourself out of the market, yet you should not bear the burden of a cash flow shortage. Give your customers a month or two advance notice should you decide to increase your rates.

5. Find ways to cut your costs. Even if you have secured funding from investors, you need to constantly look for ways to reduce your costs. From making double-sided paper copies to ordering shipping supplies in bulk, you can reduce wasted material, effort, and time in making, selling, and delivering your product. The result is an improvement in your company's bottom line and an increased competitive advantage.

6. Resolve to improve your weak spots. Take stock of all aspects of your business operation and list down the areas that you want to improve. If your list of delinquent receivables is longer than Santa's list, find out how you can improve your billing and collection process. Perhaps you need to improve your record keeping to help flag you on delinquent accounts.

7. Institute measures to assess the performance of your business. Setting clear standards for your business allows you to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of your strategies. If you haven't done so in the past year, start determining how much you are making per hour of work, how effective your advertising is, and some other measurements of where your business has been. Set some benchmarks and periodically assess how your business is doing. You need to know what you consider an improvement before you can start to improve on it.

8. Keep employees involved. Good employees are hard to find; yet they are an important element in your business. Check to see if they are getting what they need and make them part of the team. Help them understand the importance of their role in your business and how their job impacts the business as a whole. Review your relationship with your employees and find ways to keep your relationship happy and avoid costly attrition.

9. Explore new markets or improve marketing. Start the year by exploring new markets for your business. Whether you are looking at targeting a new demographic or getting your business up on the web, take time to plan how you can expand your existing market. Look for ways to improve your marketing, whether by winning easy publicity, arranging an open house or preparing direct mails.

10. Find out how you can live a more balanced life. Work and business are not the be-all and end-all of your life. Learn to have fun! Spend more time with your family. Take a vacation once in a while. Engage in activities that will rejuvenate your spirit and your life. Take care of yourself, and your health. Your productivity and focus will improve if you are stress-free and healthy.

How to Analyze the Performance of Your Business

*************************************************************

SWOT Analysis

A common and long-standing tool is to list your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). It is a simple concept that makes lots of sense. Knowing your SWOT is important and useful information. Strengths and weaknesses measure internal performance and competence. Opportunities and threats assess the level of risk from external conditions. There are many articles about SWOT, but because this type of analysis is so broad and each business is so unique, it is difficult to describe how to apply it to any specific situation. One simple SWOT method is to divide a sheet of paper into four sections. Draw a vertical line down the center and a horizontal line across the middle of the page. Use the top left section to list your strengths, bottom left for weaknesses, top right for opportunities, and bottom right for threats. Then prioritize the items within each section by importance.

Whether you should focus on fixing the negative things or developing the positive ones is a glass half-empty or half-full kind of debate that depends on your attitude and perspective. Either way a SWOT analysis really doesn t provide much guidance. Many attempts at a SWOT analysis fall flat when the enormity of the task is realized. Where do you start? What factors should be considered? Where should you focus? SWOT analysis is a great tool, but users need some guidance and structure to make it work.

Five Forces Analysis

In his books Competitive Strategy and Competitive Advantage , Michael Porter introduced the five forces of competition. They are the:

bargaining power of customers,
bargaining power of suppliers,
threat of new entrants,
threat of rivalry from existing competitors, and
threat of substitution.

The five forces provide a framework that makes external risks easier to grasp and evaluate.

Combining SWOT and Five Forces

Both SWOT and Five Forces are analytical tools that are widely used by consultants, researchers and other professionals. The Five Forces method is basically a refinement of the external part of a SWOT analysis. So it makes sense to combine these tools to create a hybrid method.

Factors to Consider

For any analysis to be worthwhile, it must consider all aspects of the business. There are many factors that are common to virtually every type of business. To insure that no significant factor is overlooked, the analysis must be structured. Internally, five business sectors should be analyzed: 1) management, 2) workforce, 3) sales and marketing, 4) operations, and 5) financial. Externally, each of the five forces needs to be evaluated. Since every business is unique, the specific factors within each sector must be tailored specifically for the business being analyzed.

Rating the Factors

After the specific factors are established, the business must be rated by each factor. Each item should be rated in two ways: 1) the importance of the factor to the business, and 2) the business s competence (internal) or risk level (external). Rate the importance using an alphabetical scale from A to E, with A indicating very important and E not important. Rate the competence or risk level using a numerical scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being very proficient or not vulnerable and 5 being deficient or very vulnerable.

Categorizing the Results

Using the dual rating system the results can be categorized by priority. Important, but deficient or very vulnerable (A5) factors may be life threatening. Important, and proficient or not vulnerable (A1) factors are core strengths. The results between the extremes are classified into: critical flaws, moderate weaknesses, potential weaknesses, neutral, potential strengths, and secondary strengths.

Plan of Action

Each category helps determine what needs to be done and when. Life threatening factors must be addressed immediately. Critical flaws come next. Moderate weaknesses aren't killers but correcting them can greatly improve performance. Potential and secondary strengths should be evaluated to determine if it they are worth developing. Core strengths are what the business does best. Too many core strengths indicate that either business resources are being spread to thin, or the analysis wasn't objective. Relying too heavily on a core strength can turn into a big weakness if the business environment changes in ways that make the strength much less important or even irrelevant.

Conclusion

Analyzing the performance of a business is a tough task to tackle, especially for owners whose expertise and time lies in running the day-to-day operations. The hybrid method, described above, provides a framework that breaks the task into manageable pieces, and automatically prioritizes the results.

Analyzing your business will show you how and where to improve its performance. Then when someone asks you how is business , you will have something worthwhile to say, even if they aren't listening.
