TOP 5 advice for developing your business

20.08.2015

viitonen1) Be aware of what it is that you seek from development. Periods of transition are excellent opportunities for development. Remember that sometimes you also have to take unpleasant decisions.

2) Bring in external and objective expertise for analyzing the current situation in your business and for recognizing needs. You cannot see everything yourself. External help is by no means expensive and there are public grants you may apply for. Try also using university students’ knowledge in market and customer research, for example. Companies’ board of directors should include persons who question old patterns of thinking. To create something new, you need to have an open mind.

3) Be prepared to invest in sales and marketing: See them as an investment and not merely a cost. It is not always the best product that wins but the one that convinces the customer best. There is help and support available for developing your products and marketing!

4) Network, cooperate and get more knowledge! If your business is dependent on one customer, get more customers. Meeting with other entrepreneurs is worth more than gold, and there is no shortage of educational opportunities for entrepreneurs in the Vaasa region.

5) Believe in the future and remember that development is a continuing process.
