Keep Business Fressshh and Ahead of the Competition!

If business is slow…perhaps new business enquiries are dwindling and you feel like you’re making little progress, this will have a huge impact on your self-confidence and motivation.

Start with some smaller business development tasks to get your business back on track.

‘Big changes can start with very small steps. Small changes tend to snowball.’ Chip Heath

When was the last time you went through your LinkedIn Profile? Visited your website as a customer would? Googled yourself..?

Doing all these tasks will help you to experience what your potential customers see as they search and find you and your business.

Is the branding consistent?

Does your messaging match up with what you offer?

Is your photography up to date and relevant?

‘If you’re not moving forward, you’re falling back.’ Sam Waterston

Be Your Own Business Coach…

These business development tasks are what any business coach worth their salt will encourage you to address. Completing them will start to provide massive insight into why challenges you may be experiencing in your business are occurring. Coupled with providing you with tangible and practical steps to action to keep your business looking and feeling fresh, up to date and always staying ahead of your competition. (as well as keeping Google happy!)

We all work in a crowded marketplace and it’s your responsibility to stand out from the crowd.

As you go through the marketing platforms your customers can find you on, a to do list will create itself. Start with the quick wins, your LinkedIn headline, a clear call to action button on your website, your Google profile – whatever it may be.

This is the gift you can give your business that will keep on giving back to you.

Its the quick, small wins that make big impact. Visitors stay longer on your website as you’ve made it more user friendly, more relevant connections being made on LinkedIn and Google ranking your website higher up the page as your content is regularly being refreshed and made more appropriate to your audience. Win Win.

Developing your LinkedIn Profile

Discussing recently with a copy writer client and friend, we concluded that LinkedIn often serves as a website. It can be the first-place new connections seek you out on.

Does your headline reflect who you are, what you do and how you do it?

Does your photo look like you now? Is it professional?

Is your profile engaging and relevant to your ideal clients?

And if any of the work involved has you in a tailspin reach out to your network, who can help you rectify this? Maybe it’s time to invest in you and your business.

If you’re not willing to invest time (and money) in yourself, how can you expect others to invest in you?
