Are you on the right path?

Posted by vernonsimpson on November 12, 2012

There are a number of factors to take into consideration when prepping yourself and your company to approach the largest clients you’ll ever work with.

Today we’re going to start with a brief look at the three paths every business faces and show you which one is the path to success. Then we’ll talk about the mindset it takes to attract the big fish.

There are three major paths a business can take:

  • Snail Speed
  • Shooting Star
  • Catch the Big Fish

 

Snail Speed

Most business owners ended up working themselves into the ground without much reward or success. This is what happens when you fool yourself into thinking you will find quick success. You may also find yourself following this path when you are afraid of change.

Shooting Star

This describes a business that shoots to the top so fast you are overwhelmed and don’t have the right resources in place to adapt. This can also happen from being overwhelmed by small clients and not taking the time to find large clients, which will sustain your business after the small client sales slow.

Catch the Big Fish

This is the path that allows you to build at a steady pace that you can manage by not allowing your customers to outpace you. You can do this by putting these tips to work:

  1. Attract, keep and lock in big clients.
  2. Integrate “big business” culture into your company and employees.
  3. Acquire the expertise you need to grow.
  4. Have the courage to make changes as you grow.

Now we are going to transition a bit and talk about the “big fish” mindset. It may sound easy to just find and catch that big fish, but if you are stuck in the small business mindset, you may find it harder than you think.

Think of all the benefits of aiming at bigger clients:

  • Inexpensive
  • Highly Profitable
  • Longevity
  • Security

 

In order to catch the big fish, you need to believe your company can make a difference with theirs. It’s easy to get into the thought that a large company doesn’t need anything from a small business like yours, but this is entirely wrong!

Once you take a look at how big companies operate, it’s important to know which ones are the best fit with your company. One of the best ways to get in the door is by knowing someone on the inside who can put in a good word for you.

    I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a
    blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I came across this in my search for something regarding this.

    Where did Yemeni coffee shops come from? ?????? ???? In the Middle East coffee isn’t a grab-and-go drink used to wake up with but a social exchange. While coffee beans originated in Ethiopia the earliest evidence of cultivation appeared in Yemen through trading across the Red Sea. https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.cc kraken darknet The practice followed into the early 20th century and across the world when the first wave of Middle Eastern immigrants came to Detroit to work in the auto industry or shipping yards Howell said. Most immigrants were men who migrated alone so one of the first institutions they created were coffee houses where they would gather to socialize share news about their home country and even write letters back home. Many of the initial mosques in the area were originally established in the backs of the coffee houses. Yemeni men working in shipping on the Great Lakes “would work for months at a time and then have a few weeks off and then work again” leaving them unable to visit their families back in Yemen Howell said. “The coffee houses in the Detroit area were a really important institution.” “Our mission is to bring everyone in one place and share history” Ibrahim Alhasbani founder of the first contemporary Yemeni coffee chain Qahwah House told CNN. “That’s why we serve the coffee in a pot. People come inside the store and they share one pot and they can talk and they share different stories.” A new chapter for Yemeni coffee Contemporary chains are designed by a new demographic — the descendants of these immigrants who are bringing Yemeni coffee culture to the American mainstream. The very first Qahwah Houses in Dearborn were airy and upscale a familiar setting to patrons of established coffee chains. But they also brought with them Yemeni culture with coffee beans imported from local farmers artifacts from the region and the founder’s family tree on the wall.
