Create An Effective Growth Plan
One of the most effective ways to maximize the enterprise value of your business is to show a consistent trend of sales and income growth over time. Not only does this make your business more attractive and valuable to potential acquirers, it also provides a better standard of living for its owner and employee team members.
Additionally, a growth focused philosophy causes the business to look ahead to the future, which helps protect the business against market disruptions and competitive threats.
How To Develop A Successful Growth Strategy
In order to achieve consistent growth, a company should execute the following activities:
- Create legitimately differentiated products and services
- Focus on solving problems, rather than simply providing a product or service
- Have a clear understanding of your target customers and their needs
- Continually search for new customers and market segments to serve
- Look for new or related products and services to offer your existing customers
- Commit to constantly improving quality and delivery
- Maintain awareness of industry and market trends
- Accept and embrace change
- Build a great employee team whose skills grow with the company
