Achieving real business growth is theoretically what every small business aims at, but in many cases it’s a lot easier said than done. In order to achieve real and sustainable growth, here are some steps you should be taking to give yourself and your company the best chance for legitimate business growth.

Have a strong purpose

With a strong purpose underlying all your company strategies, you’re much more likely to achieve business growth, because there will be a reason for everything. When all actions support support the company purpose, success is sure to be on the horizon.

Create a strong brand

It’s essential for you to somehow create a strong connection with your customers, because it’s that connection which makes customers want to buy your products or services. Once you establish that strong brand, it will be just as important to sustain it over a period of time.

Delegate and collaborate

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you can do everything yourself as an owner or manager of a small business. You’ll end up exhausting yourself and accomplishing much less than you had hoped. Delegate important tasks to trusted employees, and collaborate with other business professionals to advance your company’s interests.

Retain customers

Few things are more important than retaining customers, especially when you consider the high cost of acquiring new customers. Make your current customers feel valued by soliciting their feedback, providing discounts, and formally recognizing their contribution to your business.

Create a scalable sales model

When the opportunity does come up for real business growth, you have to be ready for it, and that means you need to be ready to ramp up your operation quickly to take advantage of the opportunity. Build your sales model such that it is flexible enough to accommodate sudden and powerful growth.

Encourage flexibility in your company leadership

Another aspect of being prepared to scale up is promoting flexibility among the leaders within your company. As business opportunities present themselves, and your company undergoes changes to accommodate increased business, your leadership team should be prepared to change right along with that trend, so they remain the right people for each phase of business growth.
