1. Develop a
Business Plan or Strategic Plan
- You won't get where you're going unless you know where you
want to be and let your employees know as well.
2. Constantly
Promote Your Business -
You can't execute one marketing effort each year and expect
your business to grow. Plan marketing efforts quarterly or
even monthly and plan time for follow through and tracking
of results.
3. Create
action plans for each person in your organization
- Make sure every employee knows how his or her job relates
to the company's overall vision, and that each has
individual objectives and goals with measurable standards
and timetables.
4. Survey
Your Employees -
Sometimes the biggest employee dissatisfactions are the
easiest things to fix. Know what changes your employees
would like to make in their work lives and do your best to
increase their quality of work life (and usually their
productivity as well).
5. Survey
your customers and suppliers
- Maybe the way you are doing business is costing you
relationships with suppliers and customers. Know what bugs
them and make it easy to do business with your company.
