5 Killer Mistakes – Part 2

Posted by vernonsimpson on February 24, 2013

In the last post we covered the first two of the 5 biggest mistakes you can make in dealing with big fish clients. Today we’ll cover the third and fourth ones: Taking on More Than You Can Handle and becoming over dependent on any one.

When you take on too much, your business can’t keep up and therefore you can easily lose control of everything and find yourself barely functioning. You want your business to be successful, no doubt, but you need to have a plan for how you will handle the growth. Your clients expect great customer service and highly quality products/services; they don’t know or care about your behind the scenes operations to get those things done.

Look for these signs that you are taking on more than you can handle:

  • Clients’ needs aren’t being met.
  • Employee morale is low, clients are upset and you’re in a panic.
  • You have to react in emergency mode to save accounts.
  • Your current clients are suffering from trying to keep up with new business.
  • Profits are going down.
  • You are just trying to pick up the pieces of your business.
  • Your clients/customers leave.
  • Resources are being reallocated.

There a trick called the Mock Fish Plan. This plan can help you react positively when you are facing some or all of these things and help you get your business back on track. This plan will:

  • Help increase sales in a short period of time.
  • Alter your products/services for the better.
  • Fulfill promises you made to your clients.

There are six steps to this plan:

  1. Bring in your best team and have them all help to meet the fish needs.
  2. Review your operational system.
  3. Anticipate future problems better.
  4. Communicate better.
  5. Include costs in your quotes.
  6. Always have a back-up plan.

You can allow your company to become dependent on any one fish. Eventually or for certain periods there is going to be a slowing down period with your fish. In order to stay in the game you need to diversify.

If you’ve ever mishandled a fish, you could drive away potential fish as well. In order to keep balance and prepare for a strong future, there are a few things you can do.

These things include:

  • Stay in the loop and try to know what’s going on inside your fish company.
  • Constantly reinvent yourself and stay at the top of your industry.
  • Stay exclusive.
  • Try to secure multi-year commitments and contracts.
  • Spread your contracts out.
  • Price your products/services correctly.

You also need to work to reduce your dependency on your fish. This can generally be measures in sales or profits. Take a look back at the process we’ve used thus far to snag more fish to keep this all in balance.

These are the ways you can help avoid the killer mistakes that can make you lose it all. If you need help with any of these tips or tricks, try our FREE test drive to get the help you need fast.

Next week we’ll talk about the last of the killer mistakes and how to combat it from hitting your business hard.

Until the next time.

    Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film
    demolishing $200m flop Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office.

    The grisly film – made for about $2 million – stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes – with the film
    knocking the starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film off the top of the
    US box office last week.

    Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him
    stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to
    ‘David vs Goliath.’ 

    He told TMZ: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…
    I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and grateful for it all.

    ‘We’re grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated
    fanbase, we weren’t beholden to the studio system.

    Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his
    silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop
    Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office (pictured as Art the clown) 

    The grisly film – made for about $2 million – stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes – with the film knocking the starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga (pictured) film off the
    top of the US box office last week 

    ‘We turned down studios as they wanted to compromise the integrity of the film and we wanted
    to stick to what the fans wanted and we wanted.

    Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ

    ‘This shows Hollywood that we need to start making movies that take
    risks again.

    The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying: ‘I was shocked too as the first Joker film I loved, I’m
    curious to see why people aren’t as crazy about the second
    one.’    

    Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood
    fest, which has received a 78-percent rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. 
    Audiences have ‘certified’ it ‘hot’ and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.

    The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.   

    Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux. After winning the box office
    competition during its debut weekend could not overcome the
    bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline in ticket sales.

    The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four
    thousand theaters across the US. 

    Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he
    likened to battle of the two films to ‘David vs Goliath’
    – pictured last week

    He said: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…
    I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and grateful for it all’

    The musical is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication.

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and
    about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even —
    when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.

    sources claim the number is $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying ‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives”
    are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.’

    ‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week’s
    opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary
    run.’

    So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after
    two weeks of release.

    The film is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically
    and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered
    a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at
    the box office. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history
    as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.
