Strategy defines Success
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 3:00AM 
During the last month we have interviewed the owners and leaders of over 100 small to medium size businesses to determine what is their secret to success.
Below are the 5 common themes:
1) Find your Unique Selling Proposition
You will be surprised how many business owners and directors when asked what is their Unique Selling Proposition (USP) reply...
- We provide better service
- We provide the best price
- Our products are the best
These are not Unique Selling Propositions...
- Your service can be equaled or improved on
- Your price can be beaten
- Your products can be copied and improved on ore replaced with better
If you do not have a Unique Selling Proposition - Find One ASAP
2) What is your Perfect Customer?
You may be surprised how many business owners do not know how to direct their communications and resources in order to develop business with their perfect customer.
Instead they waste time and resources and money servicing customers and clients that will never provide the ladder to future success as leaders in their market segment.
3) How do you Generate New Business?
The old systems of business like Yellow pages are defunct!
Word of Mouth has limited long term impact for business development as your competition are one click away from your next order.
Every business - no matter what their size - is one Google search away from losing a client or customer
If you are not performing with Google - via search - (and pay per click if you can afford it) - you are constantly losing business to competitors who are servicing the keyword searches that represent your business and Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

4) What is Working and What isn't?
You may be surprised how many business owners and directors have no idea which communication, marketing and business development strategies are working for them and which are NOT!
Without accurate measurement - how will you ever know your return on investment (ROI)
