How To Build Million Dollar Business in 2 Years or Less
In the February 2006 Issue of Business Review Weekly, an article describes how smart businesses are growing at such a rate that they become multi-million dollar enterprises over night.
This is a trend facilitated by the use of new technology that has only been available recently and clever business models and strategy.
A few smart businesses are achieving rates of growth not possible previously, making their owners millionaires almost overnight compared to conventional businesses.
Many of these businesses are "born global", meaning that they are immediately strategically placed to export immediately without investing in traditional distribution channels and marketing.
YourThinkTank.com, a management consulting firm based in Adelaide, South Australia has identified the strategies and tactics used by these high growth businesses. Strategies include:
1. Genuine Focus on their Customers. Marketing products and services that have overt, obvious benefits that customers are looking for. Market products/services that provide solutions to customers most important problems and needs.
2. Products and Services have a strong point of difference that make them stand out in the market place. (Their products/services are perceived to be better, cheaper or faster relative to other alternatives)
3. Spending time developing a Standout Unique Selling Proposition and Value Proposition. Educate customers on value not price. A Unique Selling Proposition informs customers why they should buy form your business and not your competitors. A value proposition educates customers why they need your product and service as opposed to spending their money on something else.
4. Developing barriers to entry and exit. Develop strategies to discourage competitors from taking potential customers and strategies to lock in existing customers. Develop strategies to retain existing customers and get referrals to new customers. Simultaneously work on getting new customers, retaining customers, increasing the average value per sale by adding value, & increasing the number transactions per customer. Increasing each of these variables by just 10% will grow sales by by more than 33% without significantly increasing costs.
5. Rather than spending money on traditional advertising, they invest in customer focused product development. Products which are customer focused and have a "wow" factor get talked about and referred to others. (Born Globals spend very little on traditional advertising campains, instead they rely on influencers and centres of influence to spread the word about their products.)
6. Invest in new high return marketing technologies such as websites, email marketing, and search engine marketing which allows immediate access to export markets and gives direct access to customers. Engage internet marketing specialists that know how to succeed on the internet. (Influx Website Promotions is an internet marketing company which specialises in developing high growth strategies for clients) High growth businesses invest in developing viral marketing strategies that provide incentives to pass their marketing message to others. Make it easy to pass on your marketing message to others via websites, email, blogs etc. Collect customers contact details and build a customer database.
When done right, internet based viral marketing strategies can achieve spectacular sales growth in a few weeks or months. To achieve the same result using traditional advertising could take a decade or more.
Viral Marketing can achieve spectacular rates of growth because:
1. They are systems based using the latest communication technologies. (The marketing message is transmitted from person to person without distortion)
2. They work on a one to many basis. (Each person knows more than one other person)
3. They tap into other peoples social networks who trust them.
4. They use incentives and self interest as the motivation to refer others.
5. The products being promoted are unqiue, highly valued & great quality.
6. The technology makes it easy for people to refer others.
7. Every person who receives the marketing message is either a potential customer, distributor/referrer, or knows someone else who is.
Most people today are relatively time poor and choice rich. Asking trusted friends, family and associates becomes the best way to find out about new products and services. That's why traditional media advertising is declining in effectiveness in promoting unknown brands and products.
7. Invest in Customer Relationship Management Systems. Know who your customers are, know what they want, know what they don't like and don't want, know how to contact them and do so with great offers on a regular basis( at least once every 90 days). Customer databases are recognised as being the greatest asset any business has. Feed your customers with new innovative products regulary. Joint venture with product suppliers when you find an outstanding product you know your customers need.
8. Develop a risk reversal strategy that makes it safe for customers to do business with you. (Customers need to know that they can trust the people they transact with and need to be given a reason to believe the product will meet their needs, examples include unsolicited product testimonials, money back guarantees, try before you buy etc..)
9. Make it easy and pleasant for customers to make purchases. (Simple navigation and easy to understand instructions on websites, clearly stated value proposition and point of difference, easy payment terms and conditions, believable marketing message, strong risk reversal strategy, easy payment terms.) Provide a customer experience that adds value and exceeds their customer service expectations.
10. Employ or engage people who are skilled at negotiating win/win deals. Businesses that have large customer databases filled with the contact details of people who trust them, can grow their business revenue and profits rapidly by find new outstanding products to sell by joint venturing with other suppliers. In addition, they can joint venture with businesses that have similar customers that need their product and services. The opportunities for growth are limitless.

Work From Home - Can Working From Home Make You Rich
Can a home based business really make you rich? The answer to the question is a resounding yes. We know that people on Ebay earn gobs of money daily. Seasoned Internet marketers prove that they earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per month with their virtual empires. Getting rich on the Internet is possible.
A home based business opens the window of opportunity for riches. There is also a lot of hype surrounding some home based business opportunities that sound too good to be true. In reality, these claims of sitting at home doing nothing can be described politely as overkill or over zeal.
Whether a home based business is your ticket to financial freedom, success and fame is determined by you. If you select the right home business, there is no reason that you can not become wealthy.
To become wealthy from a home based business, there are some qualifications not only for the business model but for you The myth that regular people can start and grow a profitable business may only be part of the Internet legend or could be the whole truth depending on what you are willing to sacrifice to win at the Internet game.
The alternative ways to earning money other than a home based business are rather depressing. That other lifestyle that consists of a 9-5 job that begins with a 6:am commute is enough incentive to make anyone at least try making a living from their online business.
Going to a stressful job may be the spark that creates a burning desire that causes you to make a change in your life. Being a prisoner of the corporate world has led many people into the fresh air of freedom that only owning their own home based business offers.
These individuals who make a decision to be their own boss want to create the best life for themselves and their families. These individuals are looking for a dynamic change in their personal and financial life. Home based business owners are dreamers who dare to believe in the possibility that there really is a home business that can change my life.
With the New Year come new plans to implement your home business strategy and take the Internet by storm. So it is time to take stock of your home business aspirations and find the business that will work for you.
The difference between the winners and losers in a home based business is action. People who succeed in a home based business take the time to investigate the claims and the inflated earning potential of a chosen business model. The savvy home based business owner can separate what is real from information that is hypothetical nonsense.
After a thorough investigation, the time comes to make a decision. This is the cross roads. What business model will you choose? A lot of would be home based business owners have investigated several programs trying to find "the one" that will allow them to cash in on the riches that the Internet will provide. After months and months of investigation, these individuals are still at the crossroads and have not made a decision to start a business.
Getting rich on the Internet is no longer a pipe dream. There are documented success stories of individuals who go from rags to riches using the Internet. There is a lot of work involved in making a home based business profitable. A little effort here and there will not result in financial freedom or huge profits. But with knowledge, some work and dedication and an unwavering focus on your goal, you have the formula for success. For more work from home or work at home ideas goto www.biz-ideas-4u.com.
Researching An Internet Home Based Business Opportunity
If you are a looking for more ways to earn more, consider an internet home based business. When choosing the right internet home based business, it is important to choose the opportunity that matches the skills you have, in a field that you enjoy. Shifting through the different advertisements and flyers, you will find that there are lots of internet home based business opportunities being promoted, and it might be hard finding the right one. There is also the problem of finding a home based business opportunity, which is legitimate. There are a number of people looking to sell you an "opportunity" which is really a scam. Therefore, all these things must be considered when starting to look for the right internet home based business opportunity.
To choose the right internet home based business, start with the field that you already know something about. For example, if you have experience in the healthcare field, look for opportunities to work from home in the healthcare field. This is actually one of the most important factors for any job - finding something you like and putting all your energy into making it work.
After you have determined the area or field you want to look for your new internet home based business in, the next step would be to actually research the different opportunities available to you as a home worker. Home based business opportunities can be found almost everywhere we look. You can search for your new business opportunity in the newspaper, magazine ad, Internet, posters in your neighborhood, or on the Internet. The Internet is one of the best places to look for home based business opportunities, as it is not limited to your local area, but will have information about opportunities occurring worldwide.
When a list of internet home based business opportunities has been compiled in an area or field you feel comfortable in, spending time comparing and contrasting the advantages and disadvantages of each business opportunity. It is important to really consider every aspect of an internet home based business, before taking the plunge into it. Things to compare and contrast about your different internet home based business opportunities would be criteria such as the amount of time needed to set it up, the amount of money involved in running it, the amount of support given from the parent company, and the length of time estimated before you start achieving a profit.
After all the different advantages and disadvantages have been considered in regards to your internet home based business opportunity, it should be more clear to you, which opportunity will cost the least of your time and money, and be right for your to promote. But it should be cautioned to not rush into any opportunity before carefully considering all the disadvantages attached to it. The worse scenario to occur would be for you to decide midway into your internet home based business, that you are ill-suited for it, after investing so many hours into your new business.
In the end, when researching internet home based business opportunities it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to choose the create opportunity for you. A new internet home based business opportunity can be something that comes "prepackaged". In these types of opportunities, you are more likely to have the support of the company's more senior members. However, some people opt to choose a business opportunity that they have heard about from somewhere else and perfected themselves. In this scenario, less or almost no support is available. Regardless, of which of these options you choose, the bottom line is find an internet home based business opportunity you can enjoy!
