Small businesses are already at a disadvantage compared to big businesses because they have less money to work with. In order for them to be successful being the underdog in the market, they have to focus on specific things more closely. For example, really focusing on your clients because client goals and concerns are the reason they are in business to begin with. Clients buy your products and services to meet their needs. Focusing on client problems and fixing them will attract future prospects and clients and will guarantee your current clients will be loyal to you. Targeting your market is crucial for small businesses because they can't afford to waste any time as they are already playing at a disadvantage because of bigger businesses. Marketing to people who don’t want what you provide is a waste of time and money.
Demonstrate value is important because before a prospect becomes a client and a client becomes a repeat
client, they need to be convinced of the value of your products and
services. They need to feel confident that your products and services will do what they are supposed to do. Getting your name out as a small business is important in growing your network so you have the opportunity down the road to become a big business. Finally, building relationships is important for all of business. People like to buy from others they know and trust and attracting new clients takes a lot more effort than selling to a
repeat client. To grow your business, find ways to regularly stay in touch,
educate them, and explain the ways you can
help solve their problems.
Out of all these principles I just mentioned, which one do you believe is most important for small businesses and why?
