Starting a New Business? Ask Yourself These Questions

Questions to Ask Yourself When You Want to Get New Contacts and Business:

Every new business owner has a dream and normally the ability to do a craft such as loans, real estate, art or sales in general. However many do not take the time to plan their new business no consider the financial budgeting of running a business.

I have a friend who wants to start an auto repair garage and all that person is thinking about is that they can repair cars, they earn money from it and they have people who want their cars fixed.

However when you run the math of what they have been earning, what the new expenses will be and how long it may take to become profitable you can see that this person does not have the capital for the first months expenses.

Here are some questions new business owners may want to ask themselves in regards to sales, advertising and marketing.

1. What is My Advertising Plan and Budget? Specifically how much money can I spend each and every month to consistently run ads that will promote the company in the public eye and promote the products and services we offer?

2. What Are My Marketing Goals and Do I Have a Measurement System To Record the Data? Are my goals to brand my company and create an awareness of the company and what we do? Do I also want to create a desire for my product and services in the hearts and minds of people? Do I want to sell a certain number or products and or services which will equal revenue of at least $12,000 per month?

3. Who Will Conduct the Community Development Activities That Will Representing the Company at Events and Conduct Outreach on a Consistent Basis so that there is always a BUZZ about us?

4. What Is The Plan for The Sales Team and Who is Ultimately Responsible for Driving Sales and Revenue to the Company? What are the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual sales goals?

Think about these questions and do the math. Plan your war and you will win!

Wow! Good questions to ask. It's true that keeping them in mind will be a good, if you're planning to start a new business. Planning ahead is good too, since you will know, for example, which are the right accounting software, and avoid mistakes.

reality then again I'll surely come again again.
