Growing your Business in a Tough Economy
Differentiate Your Firm with ISO Registration
Now that the Holidays are upon us, many organizations turn attention to detailed, painstaking planning and budgeting for the New Year.
 Putting growth plans on hold for too long could be a costly strategic mistake. Visionary leaders look for new value propositions, and build a competitive advantage during recessionary periods. This is a good time to uniquely differentiate your firm, and to shore up your competitive position.
Capitalize on your strengths and seek market opportunities. Perhaps morphing your business model will open new channels of distribution. Business planning should focus on accelerating short - and long - term growth of sales, cash flow improvement, and higher margins. ISO certification is a fundamental business model that will help.
In the business-to-business market, many companies require ISO Registration just to be considered for contracts. ISO Registration is rapidly becoming a condition of doing business in many markets, and customers are even mandating sector specific standards like AS9100 for aviation, aerospace and defense; ISO 13485 for medical device manufacturers; and TS16949 for the automotive sector.
Nothing conveys a commitment to quality like achievement and maintenance of your ISO Registration. Having a certified quality management system can open new markets for your business. Moreover, demonstrating ISO credentials is fast becoming a prerequisite to international marketing. If you doubt that, try doing business in Europe or Asia without the ISO credential.
The bottom line is that ISO Registration results in increased business and reduced costs. It enables organizations to streamline key business processes, adds discipline, and helps to build a culture of accountability. Simply, customers and prospects feel more comfortable doing business with firms that have achieved this "Good Housekeeping Seal."
