10 GOLDEN RULES FOR SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS:
1. Purpose
Your business is not oriented to everything in order to be useful to all people. Decide on your niche – narrow your focus and choose your target group to which your activity is oriented.
2. Be different
If your competitors are pursuing the same approach, you do not do it. Set your business apart from the overcrowded market where so many of the advertised products look the same, as well as the ads. Be innovative, take risks and create something new and original which has not been done so far.
3. Build a team
Building a successful team is the foundation of creating a successful business. The goal is not just to hire people to perform their duties, but to gather employees who work together so as to build a successful team striving for the prosperity of your business.
4. Be quick
Time is the most valuable commodity. Dynamics requires instant reactions, i.e. your business, your team and you must respond quickly to the changing circumstances so that you and your customers are satisfied.
5. Say Thank You!
But say it a lot. Tell your customers and employees how much you value them. Even better, do it the old-fashioned way: take a pen and paper and write them a letter. Of course, expressing gratitude in other ways is not to be rejected.
6. Be consistent
Make sure your business has a consistent form and perception. Customers should receive the same treatment from everyone within your organization. Always!
7. Smile
Leave the general reasons why people buy from you, such as a price, product quality or warranty. The truth is that they buy from you because they like you.
8. Fanatical optimism
The glass should always be half full. With a positive attitude and optimism you will always win at the end of the working day and you will inspire everyone around you, including customers.
9. Sell gently
It is never difficult to sell. Solve the customer’s problems. Satisfy him. Do what is really best for your customer.
10. Leave your comfort zone
Never accept the idea that this is the way you will always do the things. Never accept that a new idea or technology could never work for you. Strive for innovation and rely more on your intuition to make your business really successful.
