Got A Strategic Plan?

Submitted by Dr. Shawn on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 14:20

I've recently heard countless business owners say they aren't taking the time this year to do strategic planning for the coming year. They're claiming that because of the slow economy and less business, planning isn't that important or they'll just use the plan from previous years.

To that I say, "what the hell?".

Being in the midst of an economic downturn is the most imperative time to have a solid actionable strategic plan. And as for using last year's plan, it's completely useless. With this economy, last year's plan may as well be from another type of business!

Right now you need to be getting the absolute most out of every staff member. Are you doing that or do you know how? Planning a tight but smart budget is crucial, "just not spending" is not a viable answer. Creating a finely tuned marketing plan tailored to this kind of economy is essential. As well as fine tuning your sales efforts or even changing how you sell all together.

For example, did you know that making sure your prospect is sitting to your left (which engages their right brain) increases sales by 20%? Staggering I know!

Anyway, take the time to create a plan, you need it, your business needs it, and your staff is counting on you, especially now!

You can do it on your own (email me for a more details on creating a strategic plan) or we can help create on!
