Let’s imagine that you have already created your business and now your main aim is to develop and broaden it. Business development as well as development of any other process in the universe can have two directions: progress or regress. I believe that any smart businessman wants his business to develop in the way of progress, i.e. to have it broadened, consolidated and bringing more and more income. Well, business development in such direction is the task as difficult as its creation. However, if you believe in yourself and follow definite principles you can achieve the fact that your business will be developing in the way of progress.
First of all, you have to remember that business is a kind of marathon. If you want your business to develop quickly and effectively, you have to be ready to take the lead over competitors who have the same business sphere. Here, I’d like you to pay attention to the fact that business can’t be stable (i.e. it can’t stand still). It can either develop or die. If your business’s stopped, the competitors will outstrip you immediately. That’s why, developing your business you have to strive for the fact that your product is better, your goods or service are unique to some extend and the prices are affordable for your potential customers. As different changes in the market happen quite often, developing your business you need to be informed about all those processes and react as quickly as possible. In this case your business development can turn out to be successful and in short terms can bring you financial well-being
So, business development consists of two main components: 1. Goods and services production and 2. Their realization. Developing your business, you need to think of the “harmony” between these two components. One of the mistakes the beginners make is that they pay a lot of attention to product production and dismiss its realization. Such actions can lead you to the failure!
Furthermore, developing your business, you have to focus not only on your own skills and preferences but on the needs of your clients. It is also fair in case their needs go beyond earlier intended goods and services. To have your business developed in the most effective way, you should be ready to change it in such way that it could correspond to current requirements of your customers. There is no doubt it will lead to additional costs; however, as a result, such approach will turn out to be much more effective than trying to sell your customers a pup.
Next well-known mistake is that very often beginners tend to fulfill all the works themselves. On the first stage of business development it might be reasonable, but when your business has got some definite outlines, you as the owner of the business shouldn’t be busy with the routine. Your task is to distinguish that part of the process which supposes actions according to the pattern, which includes unimaginative work and employ somebody to complete this part.
