AN ENTERPRISE OF MERIT

June 29, 2018 Published by

A business must identify a unique value point in order to thrive. It is a very common thing to see lots of businesses under different brand names doing the same thing, under same conditions, making same mistakes and earning same returns. This repeat of value across board means a multiplicity of resources and efforts without a considerable utilization of skill, intelligence, creativity and innovations. If this situation does not create boredom within the industrial space, it causes complacency and kills the zeal for improvement. The reasons for which your business must meritoriously stand out are obvious and plain. It is up to any business to discover what practices would produce this desired result and consequently commit resources towards achieving it. We share a couple of these today.

GIVE YOUR CUSTOMER A KING’S RIDE

You have probably heard already, that the customer is right. You should never really want to question this. If ever you are motivated to insist on your stands against a customer’s goodwill, shut down and operate a court system; business is not what you should do. It is essential for you to give your customer a service that cannot be copied or emulated by your competitor. If at any point in time, there is customer dissatisfaction, be prepared to review your methods and regain your customer. It is the key to ensuring you are standing out in the industry and maintaining a lead over all others. The merits cannot be overemphasized enough. Create the conditions that would put you in the minds of your customers at all times and delight yourself with their respective and individual progresses. Send goodwill messages to them on their birthdays and don’t forget to create bonuses in your dealings with them. You would be amazed at the returns these seeming insignificant thoughts would have on your company.

GIVE HONEST ADMISSIONS OF YOUR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES

It is commonplace to see businesses try to create perfect images of themselves at all times. A business can go to the extent of lying about its own products, create unsolicited fantasies about the service, build tremendous faiths and confidence in the eyes of customers and expose their huge defects and insufficiencies. Otherwise, a business would fail woefully to keep the schedules it sets with a customer and offer to provide justifications for it. The truth is there is no better policy that should guide a business than honesty. It should not have to compete or compromise with any other policy in your organizational structure at any point in time. Identify the gaps in your own delivery and take responsibility for it. There is nothing more upsetting than to be found telling lies by your customer. It weakens the confidence with which they operate with you and can degenerate into major scandals that would affect the lifetime existence of your company. Tell the truth about your products, offer just what you have advertised and create an impression on your customer that is solid and good as gold.

ENGAGE YOUR PRODUCTS

This isn’t conventional and probably isn’t your GoTo tip for being efficient and meritorious in your operations. Nevertheless, it is the one sure way you can be sure you are giving services or products you would have bought yourself. The principle is this; would you purchase what you are selling if the reverse was true and you were the customer? If you must think twice about this, then quickly review your sales method and most importantly, review the product you are offering for sale. Something might be wrong somewhere. You should have absolute confidence about what you are selling and trust the product to be a complete marketing tool in itself. It is the only way you can be sure you are doing something right and positive.

Identify what works for your organization and make the best of it. You would be beating competition while finding motivation to do what you love to do best.  Click here to lean more of how to develop your business with services that work.

IF YOU EVER NEEDED KCC…

June 13, 2018 Published by

At any point in time, your business is going to try to grow. You would realize that there is some need to make extra profits in response to increased demands or grow your staff base with newcomers and higher expertise. When you are about to make this major decision, it is easy to get scared and frightened about the potential outcomes. ‘What if I am not ready for this new stage?’, “what if I have not learnt all there is to growing?”, “would I be able to meet the new demands?”, you wonder. Often, the prospects excite you nevertheless and you could venture into a domain you were never really prepared for. At the onset, it looks good and the adventure begins to pay off – until the major setback hits you and you realize you were never really prepared for growth or you didn’t understand the indicators as you should have. A common observation is you were over-expectant and did not understand the risks that are typically associated with any expansionist attempts. Your business may survive this setback, but you would forever remember the avoidable losses you incurred.

When you begin to make profit, see the sales rolling in and your customers overly excited with your services, you are bound to ready yourself for the next stage. At KCC, we give you a pat on the back for the great strides you have made in your business and are even eager to help you deal with the fears of expansion.

UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESS DIAGNOSIS MEETING

June 12, 2018 Published by

Businesses strive for growth more than anything else. It is this strive that is interpreted as efficiency in the business. The rate of efficiency is required to be high for the simple reason that a business that doesn’t grow dies. With the death of any business come several implications that would be appropriately dealt with in a later post.

Startups are reported to have a 90% failure rate. This is translatable to different periods within the life of the organization. KCC ‘s startup support system develops a strategic and time tested invaluable solution to this challenge with its overall needs diagnosis analysis that presents a comprehensive outline of the deficits the startups may be experiencing.

Generally, businesses and startups fail because of low profits, inability to grow and the stress with dealing with a never ending demand. Low profit margins usually arise out of high operations cost and an inability to reconcile such costs with returns appropriately. When businesses fail to grow, they stagnate and soon get locked in an impasse. This deadlock stifles innovation and progress and could as well kill any business. The structural organization of the company suffers when it is absolutely unable to deal with increased demand. When a company has to produce more and offer more services than it is presently able to, it must make significant structural adjustments, implement unrealistic private policies and suffer the long term breakdown.

KCC’s business diagnosis session employs an assessment of the existing deficiencies in your company. This assessment typically defines the current situation in the company, the missing links and an estimation of what the future outlook of the company should represent. Consequently, the assessment identifies the causes and problems associated with your current performance and suggests what priorities should be pursued by your company. Instructively, KCC develops solutions and growth strategies that would complement internal growth strategies of your company.

Our methods vary, depending on the identified challenge with your company. Rest assured however, that we are definite and resolute in projecting time tested solutions for the explicit needs of your company.

A BUSINESS RISK YOUR START UP NEEDS

June 5, 2018 Published by

Ordinarily, before you establish a business, there is a stated statement of problem that exists to be solved. This statement of problem is derived from an assessment of a deficiency in society and a realization of what capabilities your startup has to solve those deficiencies. Essentially, the market value of this proposition becomes the trade off point for your business and that enables your profit making fortunes. As a general rule of thumb, you are required to conduct some market survey to establish the point of convergence between the problem and your solution. This survey is represented in various forms and for varying objectives. A successful market survey would inform the best market practice and product that is consistent with your objectives.

Time has a special way of changing market conditions in your favor and against you in unparalleled similitude. At one point of conducting the survey to determine your market niche, it is possible to realize some factors that would convincingly outline the objectives of your startup. You may discover that consumers are not able to commute in the desired way at particular periods and this could be the focus of your startup, stretching over a long term. Further feasibility studies may show that your preferred solution to the problem is viable and cost effective. After such convictions have been established, your startup may be established, as logical consequence of pursuing this time tested narrative.

In your line of operations however, you must realize that the factors that were initial guarantors of your product’s viability are not constant, relative to time. There is a real risk of being caught behind evolving problems on the same challenge you sought to deal with. If your startup is not better equipped to accommodate the new and emergent problems, you could well be out of business before you even started.

Your startup needs to understand this possibility of change even in the problems it sought to address. Your chances of success are deeply steeped in your startup’s ability to quickly adapt to the changes that emerge from time to time.

At Korsell, we believe in a holistic assessment of business solutions with a futuristic perspective. It is what drives market growth and regulates industrial sustainability
