Other business authors discuss why businesses fail. I prefer to focus on the positive: businesses that thrive and why they become successful.Celebrating Success! Fourteen Ways to a Successful Company discussed the fourteen principles that successful companies implement. The book is the result of interviewing–in detail–nearly 50 successful Northeast Ohio companies, talking with hundreds of other companies, and testing the results with clients.There is not enough room in this article to discuss all fourteen attributes, so I will focus on the top three princip
Today we want to talk about your market. Your choice for this part of your business is crucial to getting it off the ground and making big money for you. :-) Indeed, if you don’t get this right, your business simply won’t succeed.
Your market
You need to think long and hard about your target market. This decision won’t come quickly or easily, but you must take all the time you need to get it right. I can’t emphasize this enough.
Grab your A4 pad and a pencil. Sit down in a quiet corner. Don’t get up until you are perfectly clear about who you are selling to. Forget about the ‘what’ until you have figured out the ‘who’ (this is where most people get it seriously wrong). Don’t create a product then go looking for a market, it simply won’t work (well, it will work, but it will take you years of effort and millions of pounds until you are in profit).
The gurus – the old pros in this business – said it all long ago. ‘Find a crowd of people with lots of money and fall down in front of them.’ ‘Find a large and easy-to-reach target market.’ ‘Find out where the market is and go there.’ ‘Find a hungry audience and give them what they want.’

When I started my first marketing job I was asked to prepare a flyer and have it delivered to all the homes and businesses in the area. The company would then track the response rate and see if this number matched the norm for this type of marketing campaign. However, they measured the success by the number of sales from the campaign rather than the number of responses. In fact, they had no idea how many people responded but they did know how many people bought. When they dropped the campaign, the reasons were all wrong. They did not have a problem with response, they ha

Feedback is a gift – when done properly. The very word strikes fear into the hearts of millions of workers every day, because the only time they get feedback is when it is rolled by a manager who wants to criticise – yet put a bit of positive spin on it.Ever been there? I know I have and it sets off that internal groan, because you know just what’s coming.Feedback is a gift – remember that at the start of this piece? It can be a gift where used constructively, consistently and with goodwill. It is available to all of us, all the time, whether we are a manag

Before we go any further, it might be useful to think a bit about what we mean by ‘direct marketing’.
There are two ways to sell things, through mass marketing and through direct marketing. Mass marketing is the kind of marketing you see on the telly, in newspapers and on posters along city streets. It is called mass marketing because it is directed at ‘the masses’, at everybody who happened to be watching or reading.
Direct marketing, on the other hand, is ‘targeted’. When you get a letter through your letterbox telling you to buy some homeowner's insurance or some double-glazing, you are being targeted as a homeowner. The classified ad in the back of your woodworking magazine advertising a new and improved wood chisel is targeted at you, a woodworker.
There are all sorts of advantages with direct marketing. We shall discuss these in more detail in later articles when we talk about fine-tuning your business to increase sales and profits.
It’s important to be very specific about your market. Let’s look at an example. Suppose you are interested in books – you eat books, you sleep books, you dream books – you love books.
