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.

    Dec 14 (Reuters) – Juventus manager Thiago Motta acknowledged his side must
    “change this story” after Saturday’s fortunate
    home draw with Venezia as frustration grows following yet another disappointing result.

    Juve allowed Venezia to score twice to overturn their lead, with only a late Dusan Vlahovic penalty salvaging a 2-2 draw.

    Motta’s side are sixth with 28 points, nine off leaders Atalanta despite not having
    lost in Serie A this season.

    “We did not put in a good performance against a team that defended well. We certainly need to do better,” Motta told Sky Sports
    Italia.

    “We do not want to remain where we are now and after taking the lead we need to keep playing, maintain this confidence to close the game and not try to run down the clock.”

    The draw against bottom side Venezia highlights an unwanted
    trend for Juve, who have recorded 10 league draws this term and 20 in total
    for 2024 – a club record for a calendar year.

    The 42-year-old MOtta added that their current situation made it impossible to discuss ambitions for this season.

    “We, at this moment, had to put in a better performance and a different result. I’ve never spoken about the Scudetto and this is not the time to speak. Now is the time to change with the next match. We have to change this story.”

    Juve fans were angry with their team’s performance,
    with several seen hurling insults at the players after the match.

    “The fans have the freedom to express their emotions and feelings. The players are the first who wish they could have changed things and won, so it is not a good moment,” said Motta.

    “These things happen, it´s not the first time, it certainly won´t be the last,” he
    added.

    “We must be united and keep going forward for the good of Juventus. We all want to change this situation. The fans have every right to express themselves, but we should remain united and together change things.” (Reporting by

    I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours today,
    yet I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It is beautiful value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all site
    owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net can be a lot more useful than ever before.

    First of all, thank you for the information, annd your
    point of view. I can appreciate this blog and specifically information. At this
    point, I feel I trow away much too much time via the internet,
    scanning rubbish, actually. This is a refreshinng change from that experience.
    However, I believe perusing other’s good ideas is a very important investiture of at any rate a
    few of my weekly measure of amount of time in my plan. It’s almost
    like siftkng throughout the junk heap to discover the wheat.
    Or sometimes, whatever illustration performs best
    for you. Still, sitting in front of the desktop computer is most likely as harmful to you as using tobacco and deep-fried
    potato chips.
