Have you started your creative process and now want to get down to business? Whatever your progress, we explain everything about the strategy to put in place!
How do I set my goals?
Studying your priorities and setting a deadline for your projects is an excellent way to organize and implement your business strategy and its management.
Good to know
You can, for example, determine a forecast strategy for my business turnover for your first year, forecast a number of potential customers during your first month or define a sales amount for your first week.
Also remember to think both long-term and short-term so you can act with hindsight. This will allow you to avoid putting yourself in a position that will have harmful consequences in the long term. For example, take an immediate loan with too high an interest rate or give too many shares or shares to a partner because he is the only one who has agreed to invest in your project.
This step is essential to your business strategy, it will help you see things more clearly, point you in the same direction and improve your performance.
Which business strategy to choose?
The business strategy is the means that allows you to define the goals of your business through both long-term and short-term objectives. It also allows you to think about your priorities and reflect on the strategic allocation of resources.
The specialisation
Specialization allows your company to concentrate its efforts on a single strategically chosen area of activity so that it develops until it occupies a major place in the market.
It can be very interesting when your business is growing or in the start-up phase, especially in a market where competition is strong.
You can diversify your business by developing your products and services but also by opening branches in other countries.
The integration
Integration allows, as its name suggests, to integrate all your activities related to the production and distribution of your production in your own structure .
Integration helps you to have full control of the production process and reduce your costs!
outsourcing
Outsourcing means taking part of your business to another organization .
This choice allows you to overcome your possible weaknesses by having a partner you can count on! It can also be useful for entering a foreign market by selling, for example, locally.
Organize an action plan for my company
Also called a business model, an action plan provides information on the steps to be taken , the people in charge of the activities and management , the deadline or the time it will take. This strategic analysis document must be drafted carefully in order to cover all eventualities.
This action plan also makes it possible to consider the costs related to your business , which will allow you to have an estimate of your turnover which will serve as an objective or a minimum to be carried out to have a viable activity for example..
Do you have rent to pay?
All these sums are to be taken into consideration in the calculation of the turnover of your activity and the development of your financial analysis.
Once your objectives have been defined and your action plan prepared, get started on your company’s commercial strategy!
