1. Update Technology & Software

In order to maximize efficiency, reduce errors and streamline the process, a business needs to run on the latest technology and software. It may cost a fair amount of money to upgrade, but ultimately this could help you to make more money in the long run as well as boost morale amongst staff.

2. Improve Customer Service

Customer service is often overlooked in today's digital marketplace. While it is true that face-to-face and even phone communication is limited, that is not to say that you can neglect customer service. Improve your customer service, and you will find that you retain customers and also benefit from word-of-mouth marketing and an increased reputation. Additionally, it is a smart move to ask your existing customers for feedback so that you can identify areas to make improvements - “the customer is always right,” as they say.

3. Utilize Social Media

In today’s day and age, there is perhaps no tool as powerful for businesses as social media. In addition to allowing you to reach a gigantic global audience, promote your brand and engage with your target audience, this can also be somewhere for identifying keywords and trends, gain insight into behavior and much more.

4. Identify & Solve Problems

In many cases, the best way for a company to grow is to take a careful look at their processes to identify problems and then taking steps to solve these problems. This can be a tough challenge, but utilizing the insightful Ishikawa Diagram (or Fishbone Diagram) as part of the Six Sigma methodology is a superb way to do this, and highly worth learning as an entrepreneur. This could help you to make key adjustments to your operation to maximize efficiency.

5. Form A Strategic Partnership

A strategic partnership allows you to tap into entirely new markets and increase your brand awareness. In order for this to be an effective growth method, it is important that you approach the right businesses, and this should be a company that has products/services that are complementary to your own but not a direct competitor.

If you are looking to grow your company over the next 12 months then these are all highly effective methods, especially when used together. It can sometimes be hard to know how to grow a company particularly when you have found some success already, but the great entrepreneurs will always be looking for more and these strategies could help 2019 to be your best year so far.
