Ways to orchestrate a fast business turnaround.

If you've got an enterprise that is struggling, you will be pleased to know that usually ( particularly ( particularly with small businesses that are nimble and can react fast ), a fast business turnaround is absolutely possible.

However, keep in mind there is no mystic voodoo chant which will all of a sudden make your business successful again. There is going to be a bit of, *gasp*, work to do.

While I realize I almost certainly just lost 75% of my readers with that last paragraph, if you are still here, you've actually got a shot. The rest of 'em will be bankrupt soon.

If you want a fast business turnaround, here's what you want to do.

First, you must take inventory of everything you have to work with. In my Business Bailout Workshop we call this a W.I.G. Assessment. (What I Got Assessment)

This is where you take inventory of everything you've got to work with.

Most business owners will start out by saying they have X workers, X sq. feet of space, X number of web sites and so on. And that's a great start. Those can all be used.

However, the W.I.G. Assessment goes beyond that. We also consider every list, each person you know, each established as an asset we can possibly leverage.

For example, it's about 8 times easier (and cheaper) to sell to someone that has done business with you in the past than it is to go out and sell to someone with you are yet most business owners spend the bulk of their advertising and marketing dollars trying to get those new folks in the door and neglect the clients they already have.

So that's one great spot to start. Go out and sell stuff to your past clients. You can do that, right?

Another big opportunity most business owners miss out on is price elasticity. I was guilty of this when I first got started as well, so I know exactly how this thinking goes, and it took me a bit to wrap my head around the idea that it was dumb to try to be the least expensive seller in a marketplace ( in it was shades ).

Here's an easy technique to get more cash. Raise your prices. If your business has less folks coming to it than before, then you need to make each of those folks more valuable. Most business owners do the complete opposite and lower prices and they accelerate the rate at which they get to turn up at bankruptcy court.

Of course, you need to provide more value with your price must make each of those people who care only about getting the least expensive price? To hell with 'em. Only about ten percent of people actually make buying decisions solely on price. And for some, it's not a consideration at all (those are the people you would like ).
