    Manage Your Business Growth 

     

    CEO Advisor can help you assess your business.
     

     

    When you think back on how you started your business, consider all of the planning and research that went into starting your business properly. You did do that, right? To get started on the right track you need the time to research the type of business you want to start and make sure you stay on track to build a growing business in a growing market.

     

    CEO Advisor, Inc. has helped business owners grow their businesses to the next level since 2004. Here are some key factors to managing the growth of your business, and increasing sales to achieve that growth. 


    1. Focus on Strategy and Update your Business Plan

    Your strategy and your business plan is what dictates how you spend your time, energy and money. You must take time out to refer to it often, and make sure that your business in on track and your forecast reflect your current realities. Too many business owners and CEOs of small and mid-size companies are reactive day in and day out instead of proactively planning, implementing and meeting goals. 


    You should have goals, plans and milestones that you follow through on to help your business grow. Even small changes in your business market may require you to alter existing plans and goals and develop new ones. 


    2. Keep Your Eye on the Numbers

    Use your Profit/Loss Statement to a) monitor your monthly, quarterly and annual goals, and b) drive your business forward. Your financial statements also provide insight into the health of your business. Forecast your business ahead of time for 2012 with a monthly Financial Forecast to create sales and profit goals. Each month compare your monthly Financial Statements to your monthly Financial Forecast to monitor your progress and make needed changes to your business and personnel.  


    3. Manage Your Time

    Increase discipline within your business and with yourself. Track direct labor and lay-off excess or unproductive employees. Calendar your time, in advance every week to ensure the highest and best use of your time and your employees' time. 


    4. Delegate/Outsource Specific Tasks

    If you are a start-up or you own an established business, a growing business will demand a lot of your time. You and your staff have to deal with many things that may keep you from focusing on your core business needs. Use outsourced specialized companies when needed. Bring on a trusted advisor for key initiatives. November and December are planning months for the coming year and a great time to bring on a business advisor to prepare for 2012. 

     

    You can identify staff members who can take on different, routine or managerial tasks, and you can outsource the rest. Many of your staff members will enjoy the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. Then, you'll be free to focus on the priorities required to profitably manage and grow your business. 


    5. Manage Your Sales and Marketing

    CEO Advisor, Inc. helps our clients hire and build sales teams, make existing sales teams more successful, create and implement marketing plans to support and increase sales, and track results and ensure accountability to achieve your goals.
    Creating sales goals and managing to these goals is critical. This takes sales expertise, training, sales strategy, forecasting,  motivation, accountability and discipline. Properly building and managing your sales team, whether it is one or twenty people, is the catalyst to your success. 

     

    Marketing is the least focused on area of all the CEOs we meet with on both coasts. Marketing strategy, planning and implementation creates the key differentiator in your business to your prospects and customers. Focus on both marketing and sales for a successful 2012.
     

    CEO Advisor, Inc. can help you create a clear path to a successful 2012. Email Mark Hartsell, CEO at [email protected] or call us today for a free initial consultation.

    CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 

     

     

    "CEO Advisor, Inc. was extremely helpful in working with us to develop a meaningful business plan. My measure of a consultant's value is how much work he/she leaves for me to do vs. what they actually do. So many consultants tell you what you already know and then leave you to do all the actual work. Not so with CEO Advisor. That's why I hired them and they delivered on their promise to do the heavy lifting. I could never have completed the work we did together were it not for my CEO Advisor's steady and consistent work."
