SHAWNEEE, OK, December 28, 2018 – Are you
happy with your business this year? What are you going to do
differently? How can you hire the right people to support your vision?
Sadly, many small business owners do not spend enough time planning for
the future. It’s quite understandable. Managers must keep pace with the
daily demands of their businesses, including payroll, taxes,
product/service delivery, and customer expectations., Dr Daryl Green
provides vital insight on conducting an organizational checkup for small
businesses for the upcoming year.
Based on the study of 2004 Small Business Administration
(SBA). In the study, it is known that 580,900 small businesses opened in
2005 and 576,200 others are closed. It is noted also that 67% of the
new companies can only survive at least 2 years while the 44% others
survived at least 4 years.
According to Dr. Green, small business owners need to
evaluate their businesses. Dr. Green explains, “Like humans, small
businesses could benefit from a good checkup too. Nowadays, small
businesses are experiencing the realities of a hypercompetitive economy.
In fact, buyers are smarter and savvy about purchasing their products
and services. Therefore, businesses must adapt to changing times.”
Dr. Green is an internationally acknowledged author and
researcher. He is the Dickinson Chair at the Oklahoma Baptist
University. In 2016, Dr. Green retired from the Department of Energy as a
senior engineer, where he had managed programs for over 27 years. With
his technological background and entrepreneurial spirit, this professor
has steadily developed intellectual properties, such as eBooks, Kindles,
MP3, and video downloads to take advantage of the global platform.Dr.
Green has conducted extensive research on small businesses. Dr. Green
notes, “I partner with local businesses as both a practitioner and
academic. Effective universities know how to help area businesses to
grow. I want to serve in this capacity too.”
He hopes his expertise can assist many struggling small businesses in the upcoming year.
In the public sector, Dr. Green has managed
multi-million-dollar projects as well as conducted more than 100
organizational evaluations. He realizes the struggles are for both small
and large businesses as it has been stated by SBA. Sure, the problems
struggled need to be diagnosed and overcome. Therefore, there are the
eight most important checkup questions to ask when someone is intended
to build up his or her small business before entering the year 2019.
Here they are.
-
Do you have a clear vision for your business? What is it?
-
Do you know why your customers buy from you and why others do not buy from you?
-
What results are you getting from your marketing? Do you have an effective online presence on the web?
-
Are you collecting data or the right kind of data on your customers and competitors?
-
Are you keeping pace with your industry trends? If so, what are the key trends?
-
How are you measuring results (i.e., key performance indicators like cash flow and revenue)?
-
What are your key competitors’ marketing strategies?
-
Have you evaluated your strengths and weaknesses (i.e., SWOT Analysis)?
By finding the answers to those eight questions, it is
expected that the businessmen are able to improve their business as well
as gain more customers. Dr. Green adds, “These questions serve as
friendly reminders for the small business; there can be is room for
improvement. Yes..even the big global businesses like IBM and Google
utilize self-evaluations.”. However, the checkup must also be done
continuously in order to evaluate the business’ performance.
