That’s why you should invest some time into creating an online presence. Social media can be a pretty powerful marketing tool, and you can get to hear feedback from your customers firsthand.

Through social listening you can find out what customers are saying about you, gain insight into their behavior, identify keywords and trends that appeal to your target market and so improve your customer service. Social media can help you to build your business profile and attract new customers.

2. Set Specific Goals

Instead of trying to accomplish your big goals all at once, try breaking your bigger goals into smaller ones. And better yet, be as specific with your goals as possible. Have a specific idea of where you want your business to be in say, 3 years.

Then break those goals down and make a plan. When you set clear and specific goals it is much easier to figure out how to obtain them. So make sure to be specific about your goals, for both you and your employees.

3. Analyze

You should analyze both your competition and your own business. To be successful, you can’t be afraid to study and learn from your competitors. After all, they may be doing something right that you can implement in your business to make more money. Look at your competitors and observe what works and what doesn’t.

Secondly, you should analyze the performance of your own business. Analyze the performance of your sales team. If they aren’t meeting your expectations, or they are showing signs of ambivalence, shake things up. Bring in new blood working on commission only.
