Defining Your Products and Services

EzyStartup Course and online marketing to develop packages that help win sales and bring in new customers

Fantastic Furniture are well known as the “package deal kings”; every business can benefit by exploring what they can “package” for customers

Most potential customers will make contact with you after doing research online so it’s really important to do your homework on your competitors so you’re well aware of what else potential customers will have seen.

Be capable of clearly defining what you do and how you do it, so if you’re ever asked about a comparison you have a speedy answer that you’re comfortable with.

You don’t have to be the cheapest and you don’t have to accept ANY client or any type of work.

The task of defining your products and services is as much about choosing WHO you want to work with, as much as it is about WHAT work you want to be doing.

 

Case Study: Aldi selling toilets, installed by a licenced plumber

Online Business Training Courses - Digital Marketing Academy - Creating the Perfect Offer - Magazine Advertisement - 1 Aldi Toilet Suite & Installation Package -smallWe’re always studying how successful companies promote, package and market their products and services and a recent example was the Joint Venture (JV) that Aldi went into to be able to supply toilets and have them installed for a low, (mostly) fixed price.

The plumbing cost and unknown aspects of how the current toilet is plumbed in add to the complexity of being able to offer this kind of service and we captured the entire purchase, installation and support process so you can see what is possible in business for yourself.

 

Business Planning Made EZY

Startup-for-quick-growth-smart-reporting-on-reMost business owners have a hunch that there are customers out there who need their products and services, but a little preparation and a simple business plan will give you proof and confidence — not only that your business is viable, but a blueprint for how you can achieve your objectives.

The business plan spreadsheet (included in this course) will help you with things like:

  • hiring new team members
  • buying equipment
  • give you confidence to speak with lenders or investors.

 

An online business plan will also enable you to justify —not only to your clients, but to yourself — charging higher fees for your product and/or services.

 

Have Prospects Find You

content marketing helps your sales funnelIn most service based businesses you’ll make sales and acquire customers because they know you, like you and trust you — it’s as simple as that. So you need some fundamental tools to help you:

  1. Get discovered online or via face-to-face networking
  2. Demonstrate your capabilities
  3. Develop trust with the prospect.

How to do this? One good way is to share information that demonstrates how people use your services. You might provide a case study that people can relate to; this also shows you’re genuinely trying to help them solve their problem.

Ask questions: One of the best selling techniques is to ask authentic questions about a prospect’s needs and then explain how your services will help. The EzyStartup Course helps you come up with quality content informing people about your business, whilst at the same time, providing them with a reason to choose you and your business. PLUS, smart reporting will help you understand if it works so you can modify it in the next month, quarter or year.

Smart Reporting — Set Yourself Up for Quick Growth

Often in small business, is the business owner is too busy being the technician to actually properly manage the small business and the business stagnates. The EzyStartUp Course is designed to help you do more than just start your business; it’s designed to help your business grow.

Included are videos, interviews, workbooks and templates that teach you how to perform regular reports on your business so you can see what’s working and what’s not in order to make the right strategic decisions.

Combine the EzyStartUp Course with the discounted software courses and you’ll be able to use MYOB, Xero or Quickbooks to understand how your business is performing as well as manage the daily accounting.

Cert IV Small Business ManagementBUT… Why Start a Business?

People desire control over their lives. They want to own income producing assets be financially independent.

With our relatively high levels of home ownership and high levels of superannuation (proportional to other countries) it’s no surprise that more and more Aussies are looking to start their own business.

One of the biggest reasons to start a business for many people is the desire to choose their own working hours and/or be better rewarded for the work they do. Some people come up with a great idea and back it up by starting a business and giving it a go.

The EzyStartup Online Business Course will help you maintain your small business and remain on track.

 

Is Now a Good Time?

online small business management training course videos

The circumstances we face in our lives will always change. Governments will change. Interest rates will change. Currency exchange rates will change.

Despite all these ‘external’ factors, businesses keep on providing services because people need them. The only thing that really changes is how you adapt to the ‘external’ forces and you do this by changing or strategy if you need to.

 

Which Business Should You Start?

If you are thinking about a business but not sure it is the right kind of business don’t stress, the factor that will make you succeed in business is your ability to measure success, understand reporting and make decisions that allow you to change your strategy if you need to.

Some people start a business because they are skilled and confident at a particular trade, while others try to understand the “market” and fulfil the need in the market — even if it means embarking on something relatively unknown.

We are living in the Internet age so most businesses that take advantage of the Internet or changes in the Internet and provide a product or service that is needed are likely to have a good chance of being successful.

 

Will You Stay With It?

Persistence in small businessOnce you have made your decision and started heading towards your goal of starting a business you’ll need to see it through to a certain point.

This is where a business plan comes into the picture. The business plan is a blueprint that you create based on your knowledge, research and what you think you can do.

If you are in the right business and there is a need, you’ll start getting some results and you can measure those results against your projections (actual versus forecasts). If you find you need to change direction it could be a good thing, it also means you’ll need to modify your business plan and projections accordingly. A business mentor can also help along this journey.

It’s a bit like building your own home. Once the plan is drawn up you know what to expect and what you need to do along the way. If you need to make modifications they’re usually quite small and you’ll see how they fit into the bigger picture of your success.

The EzyStartUp Course includes a business plan spreadsheet where you can enter your forecast information very quickly and use it to measure your performance month by month.
