I want to draw your attention on the the effective ways you can approach Strategy Development, thereby improving your small business and becoming the talk of the moment.
The ultimate goal of setting up a business is to make profit, expand and influence your world. This should become your concern. So, don’t be found in that small business for a long time, you’ve got to take that bold step and become the best you can be.
If your business is small today, the first approach to making it big is to change your mindset. Reposition your thoughts and align them in the right order, you have to regard strategy development as the force that brings about change in your business.
In that note, here are the 3 essential ways to approach strategy development;
1. strategy development System (S.D.S)
To make this a lot easier and fun, strategy development system is that step you take to initiate a creative marketing activity that brings about a drastic positive change, in your business. For instance, if you’re into service rendering, one great way to make headway is to look at the competition. If some other people are getting ahead of you, what steps are you employing to outsmart these people?
Developing strategies goes hand in hand with asking intelligent questions that triggers results. Once you’ve the questions well thought out, then it’s time to take it to another level.
2. Packets of Strategy Development
Before you finally embark on any given strategy, you should decide how it is implemented. What form are you going to use to reach your target audience? Bear in mind that your strategy development main objective is to convert more prospects into customers.
This is the simple truth because, there is no other reason why you’re strategizing. Every effort you put into your business is to create happy customers.
But you can’t achieve this feat by using mediocre channels. If you’re into online marketing, one great channel you should consider using is search engines. Although, mastering this channel takes time, but the rewards far outweighs the time investment.
3. Add a Call to Action to your Strategy Development
If you’ve invested a lot of precious resources i.e. money, time into your marketing campaigns, then the BIG picture in your head is to make sales.
But how do you realise this when your strategy development lacks a strong “Call to Action”? Even after challenging yourself, that your products and services meet your prospect’s needs, you still need to persuade them to take action. You can outright ask your prospects to take action, or earn it.
A wise entrepreneur works on earning the trust of prospects. It’s a good thing to ask for action, but when you please your prospects, they would willingly take action and patronize you.

This article starts well, becomes fuddled in the middle and ends poorly. The author confuses marketing for strategy development. This is not so. I hope to read a better attempt next time.
