GSPU can help entrepreneurs to build systems for their business by performing growth-oriented tasks, optimizing and automating business with a proper system in place. Following are the area of services we offer to our clients in connection with scaling up their business.
1. GET THE BASICS DOWN
Before you even worry about scaling your startup, make sure your fundamentals are foolproof. Have a proper business plan in place. Identify your Strengths, go deep to find out your weaknesses and fix them and get ready to reap all the opportunities which might come your way. Do a proper financial projection so that you would not be handicapped for resources at a later stage.
2. AUTOMATE YOUR BUSINESS
If you’re spending a long time “setting up” your business, then good for you.
- Setting up cloud storage and organization
- Setting up training processes for new hires
- Setting up marketing automation
- Setting up payroll for rapid processing
- Setting up bill pay for automatic withdrawals
Even though it takes a long time on the front end, this activity will pay for itself in the long term. You’ll be able to access data faster, hire faster, market better, pay easier, and streamline operations for a truly scalable model.
3. BOOST MARKETING
Focus on marketing, and scalability will follow. But not every form of marketing is scalable. According to Forbes “direct marketing is…not scalable” and “word-of-mouth does not scale.” Content marketing, on the other hand, is one of the most scalable growth methods. Content marketing has evergreen value and viral potential, making it the growth-hack method of choice for most startups.
4. OUTSOURCE NON-ESSENTIALS
For big corporations, the name of the game is “in-house.” They’ve got in-house graphic designers, developers, conversion optimizers, SEOs, CA’s and lawyers Startups can’t afford that luxury, and if you want to be strong enough to grow, you’ll need to outsource all non-essential roles. Your graphic design firm doesn’t need a law department. Your SEO consulting firm doesn’t require a full-time PowerPoint designer. You just need to focus on what you’re good at. This lean approach is what allows a startup to break into the big time. When you’re nailing it with your core competencies, you’ll start to scale up.
5. KEEP AN EYE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Every new startup is in the public eye. Whatever happens on social media will be examined by the world. It’s important in your startup days to watch your social media carefully. Fledgling startups can’t afford to take a major PR hit with a social media flap. Big companies might be able to weather the storm, but your startup isn’t ready for it. If you hit a PR fiasco, you’re limiting your chance of survival and scalability.
6. EXCUSE YOURSELF
Your business is not about you. In order to be truly scalable, your business should be able to function just fine without you. The way you put that into place is by deliberately shifting responsibility off your shoulders, or into the oversight of someone else. In addition, you should take deliberate absences so you can force the business and personnel to be independent. Your business is making money while you sleep, relax, or build something else. You’ve proven to yourself and to your employees that the business isn’t tied to your presence or even your existence. You feel liberated. They feel empowered. The business is ready to grow.
7. HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE ( AND ONLY THE RIGHT PEOPLE )
A business is scalable, only when it has the right people on board. First, though, you have to hire only the people that are necessary to the operation. Scaling up of businesses would require the support of an expert with experience to guide a new business to scale up quickly. In the Digital Age, the following strategies would be vital to achieving the desired goals.
