Gain insights into how you can put into place the team that will supercharge your growth.
So you have a business idea. What do you do from there? Every business owner’s dream is to grow their brand and establish themselves in their chosen market. We all hear about the lucky businesses that shoot to stardom after creating the perfect product but replicating that sort of trajectory isn’t easy. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ 2012 Small Business report, more than 50% of new businesses are unlikely to ever reach operational status. This is especially true for product-centric businesses like retailers and manufacturers.
But why? Well, there a number of factors why the success rate for new businesses is so low, including:
For business leaders, creating effective business strategies and plans can be difficult to execute especially if you’re unfamiliar with the impact of market trends. And how do you know how much market research is too much market research? How do you know what works and what doesn’t when you’ve never dipped your toe into the business world before?
If you’re asking yourself these questions, it’s time to look into a growth team.
Often mistaken for simple marketing teams, growth teams focus on positioning a product, service or brand so that it can be marketed effectively. The tasks that a growth team take on holistically focus on the entire marketing funnel and may involve adjusting a business’ marketing and sales workflows or high-level business structure to increase the potential for that business to succeed in their chosen field. Marketing, however, focuses on the top of the funnel and typically involves assessing the impact of individual promotions on performance metrics like leads, traffic, email opt-ins and sales
