What Is Your Flight Plan For Business Growth? - Part 1

3 Ways To Geometrically Grow Your Business

The human brain is a remarkable, creative asset capable of processing and understanding complex and intricate concepts. Yet at times, unable to recognise the obvious and simple.
Some examples of this are:

Ice cream was invented approximately 2000 B.C. Yet, it was almost 3,900 years later (1900's) that someone figured out the ice-cream cone.

Meat has been on the planet at least 6,000 years. Bread was baked since 2,600 B.C. Yet, it took almost 4,300 years after this (1700's) to commercialise the meat sandwich.

The modern flush toilet was invented in 1775, but it wasn't't until 1857 (82 years later) that someone developed toilet paper.

Once these and similar connections are made they seem so obvious and our remarkable brains consider why these ideas were not materialised sooner.

Believe this or not but a number of ideas and unmade connections exist today, even in this generation known as 'Technological'.

Many of the non-materialised ideas and connections are 'right under our noses' in the business world. In other words, you are surrounded by untapped solutions that can dramatically increase your income, leverage, influence and success!!!

The question you must ask yourself is, "do you see them"?

Very simple ideas and connections can quickly develop your and your organisations ability to better lead, communicate and sell in totally ethical, respectful and honorable ways.

EffectiveCommunication.com.au
helps to uncover hidden assets, opportunities and possibilities that are not producing maximum results.

Here's one simple idea:

There are only 3 ways to successfully increase your business. Yes, three.
 
  1. Increase your number of clients
  2. Increase the average value of each sale per client
  3. Increase the number of times your clients return and buy again
 
As a business leader, it's significantly less daunting for you to focus on and develop these 3 criteria. It's so easy that you should take a look at this simple example:
 
  • Calculate your current number of clients
  • Calculate the average value each client spends per sale
  • Determine how many times these clients purchase from you per year

By way of example, let's say you have 1,000 clients who average $100 per sale and purchase 2 times per year.

1,000 clients x $100 per transaction x 2 transactions per year = $200,000 total income

Now, look what happens when you improve these 3 criteria by just 10%

1,100 clients x $110 per transaction x 2.2 transactions per year = $266,200 total income

Wow, a mere 10% improvement in these 3 criteria increases your income by 33.1%

A 25% improvement in these 3 criteria almost doubles your income to $390,625. Yes, almost 100% additional income!!!

By focusing on this idea alone is one small way organisations improve by increasing income by 20%, 50%, 100% and more.

This simple geometric growth formula works equally as well with non-financial goals. For example, peak performance sports coaches break down every element of a game and it's plays into an identifiable process. They then rate the team per element based on a scale of   1-10. Then by simply focusing on 2 or 3 elements to improve them by only a small percentage produces exponential, compound impact and results.

So you see this simple idea and concept works for business, sports and every area of your life when applied.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"In my capacity as Building Manager within the Leighton Holdings Group I have been associated with EffectiveCommunication.com.au (EC) since early 2004.

I involved EC with our Westmead Hospital team in a High Performance Team Workshop to better align our project objectives to the performance of each key staff member. This was a critical process as the project team was relatively new.

Accountability Maps were created against each identified objective. The outcome was the creation key performance communication indicators stating the involvement of particular members of the team. We are monitoring this process quarterly to ensure we achieve what we agreed.
The process that EC put us through in preparation for the Westmead Hospital Workshop assisted in making sure the day was successful. I have since used this process and EC's input on our 100 Pacific Highway (a commercial high-rise development) project.
I know some of my staff could not have communicated their input on the two examples above without the preparation work EC put them through leading up to the workshop. EC are retained on an ongoing basis to conduct training for our business and to assist on individual assignments as required. I highly recommend EC to future clients."
