Scale Your Business (Quickly) with these 5 tips

Starting and running a business can be both exhilarating and overwhelming at the same time. There are so many things to do and so much to learn that it can be difficult to know where to start. But don't worry, we are here to help! How do you make sure your business grows quickly while avoiding common mistakes? Here are five tips to help you scale your business successfully:

1. Make sure you have a good client onboarding process in place.

This will help ensure that your new clients are set up for success and get the most out of your services. Your onboarding process should include everything from setting up their account to providing them with training and support.

‍Pro Tip: Try using Arvo playbooks to curate account manager introductions that you can send to new clients!

2. Develop systems and automation to support more sales.

Scaling your business obviously assumes you will sell more. Do you have the sales structure in place to generate more sales?  Look at sales from end to end. Do you have:

• A sufficient lead flow to generate the desired number of leads?
• Marketing systems to track and manage leads?
• Enough sales representatives to follow up and close leads?
• A robust system to manage sales orders?
• A billing system and a receivables function to follow up to ensure invoices are collected timely?

3. Document everything!

This will help you keep track of what’s been done and how you did it. Plus, if there’s ever a question about what happened or how to do it again, you’ll have all the documentation you need right at your fingertips! (Here’s a secret: Arvo makes documentation really easy!) You'll thank yourself for taking this step when raid hiring is necessary to support your newfound growth.

4. Delegate, delegate, delegate!

You can't do it all yourself, so make sure you put in place a system that allows others to help out. This may mean hiring employees, outsourcing specific tasks to contractors, and making sure you document all of your SOPs. Either way, make sure you're comfortable with handing over some control and trusting others to get the job done.

5. Be prepared to pivot as needed.

Businesses change and evolve over time, so make sure you are flexible and willing to adapt to changes in the market. This may mean changing your offerings, your target audience, or even the way you do business. Be prepared to make quick changes as needed in order to stay ahead of the competition.
