    Use negative review to get positive results

    Use negative review to get positive results

    It was once said: "When life gives you lemons, plant its seeds, grow yourself an orchard, sell it to Sunkist. Carry on." Negative reviews can be a blessing in disguise for any business owner or entrepreneur who is serious about building a profitable and valuable company. There are two types of negative reviews - negative reviews for your company and negative reviews for your competitors. What many people overlook is that negative reviews can often hold the secret to making your business better. Once you move past the spam reviews and reviews from customers that will never be pleased, you are left with some ideas on how to improve your results. The negative reviews for your company and your competitors reveal what people are expecting and what they are happy to pay for. Whatever problems customers are experiencing and writing about are opportunities to provide solutions and make your business stand out. Lean into negative reviews and add money to your bottom line by exceeding your customers' expectations.

    How to find new revenue streams

    How to find new revenue streams

    Finding new revenue streams can be as easy as solving unsolved problems for your existing customers. What does this mean? It means looking at the product or service your company offers the market and examining the process your customers go through to get it. As they make their way through your customer experience, there are probably opportunities to help them solve other challenges. Finding new revenue streams depends upon your ability to remove yourself from your business, place yourself in your customers' place and examine what they go through in the course of using your products or services. What problems do your customers have that are currently unsolved? Answering this question takes effort, but your bottom line will reward you if you can.

    How to get new clients and grow revenue

    How to get new clients and grow revenue

    Need new clients? Need to grow revenue? The easiest way to do this is to determine which clients your business enjoys serving and which clients enjoy interacting with your company and then build a plan around finding more of them. A business that focuses on swapping out imperfect clients for perfect clients is a business that is maximizing its resources and is efficiently maximizing its profit. It is challenging for a company to serve different types of customers. Each type of customer a business helps interrupts its ability to run efficiently, effectively and profitably. Adjusting to the needs of different types of customers means a company has to change how it delivers its products and services. The adjustments reduce profitability and limit revenue. The goal is to reduce the variety of customers your business serves and focus on a few that are highly profitable, easy to work with and who enjoy interacting with your company. Growing revenue doesn't mean expanding your customer base as much as swapping out imperfect clients for perfect ones.

    Why should employees be shareholders in your business

    Why should employees be shareholders in your business

    When does it make sense to have employees become shareholders in your business? Many business owners will offer shares to their team as a way to recognize their contribution and as a way to retain them. Many employees want to become shareholders to earn more money and participate in the value they are creating. Giving employees shares in your business will only be meaningful if you have determined what you believe the business's value will be and how their efforts will help ensure it materializes. In the absence of concrete goals, offering shares to employees is, at best, a token exercise that will not produce the intended effect. If you want to provide employees with shares in your business, spend time and effort to put a plan together that shows them where the company is going and what it will be worth once it gets there. Doing this will make the exercise meaningful and worthwhile.
