Not only is it natural to focus on sales and marketing strategies to grow your business, it’s necessary.
Why? Because more sales equals more growth, right?
Well, sure. However, if the only thing you measure is your sales increase on your P&L, it won’t give you a holistic understanding of your business, making it possible for you to miss opportunities to improve your business performance, without even making a sale.
In short, we know sales growth is good, but sustainable growth… is better.
While working on bringing it in, you need to know that your business is equipped for growth, and that your hard work will continue to make a positive impact on your bottom line.
These drivers, numbers, the reasons why you’re in business, don’t have to be future desires that may never come to fruition.
Sure, these things might happen after years of trial and error, or by fluke. However, in our experience it is the intention and energy you give your goals to make them happen.
To build a sustainable growth strategy, it all starts with knowing the numbers you need and setting goals around them.
Through creating and USING (key point) a business budget.
It does not matter if you have 10-100 employees or it’s just you. If you have a business budget, you will be clear on where you’re making money, where you’re spending, what you need to implement and where to focus your energy.
With Xero it is so simple to follow a business budget, allowing you to easily track your performance against your goals. It will identify if you’re hitting targets, and most importantly prepare you for that bigger space, next hire or equipment purchase.
Here’s our process, that makes implementing a budget so exciting and accessible for you:
We want to see your business work for you, the way you intend it to. Using a budget is the foundation you need, to measure your results and promote sustainable growth.
