Matt Bacak Shares His 4-Step Plan to Stay Focused and Build a Business
Matt Bacak, “The Powerful Promoter” offers his advice on Starting Up a Successful Company
(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 15, 2008 ) Suwanee, GA – According to Matt Bacak, a detailed business plan, which shows the overall intent of a company is important. Presenting the business plan to a bank before start-up and getting the funding in the amount deemed acceptable is next. Now its time to conduct business, the original business plan contained the basis of the procedures that will help an entrepreneur stay focused while the company grows.
The following are some of these processes to use to give the business the focus it needs to grow and succeed.
1. A marketing plan. If sales are a part of the operation (and it seems that some form of selling is always a big part of every company), then, the business owner will need to have their sales group focused on a marketing plan. Short term and longer-term analysis should be a part of this planning and will likely contain an analysis of their competition, market potential and sales projections. Be careful not to fall into the trap of letting “the business take care of itself”, stay focused at all times and be sure their managers are tuned into this market monitoring regularly, nothing is more defeating to the general manager/owner than to be told by a sales manager…I didn’t see that coming!
2. Accounting procedures. If sales are important, then the need to stay focused on receiving the proceeds from sales is equally important. Accounts payable, expenses and accounts receivable need to have fixed procedures in place to allow money to flow freely through the company coffers. Focusing on these procedures at regular weekly and monthly meetings will put the accounting and marketing groups on the same path. A rift between marketing and accounting is a common bureaucratic occurrence; so don’t be surprised if one point they hear from someone from sales state, “We make the money here, how come I have to live by their rules?” Getting these two operations to stay focused on a bottom line results oriented approach is a regular part of an owner’s job description.
3. Human resources. Those who have worked with a manager, who considers his employees as expenses rather than assets, are familiar with the need for managers to stay focused on human resources within the company. A manager who is fixated on staff reduction regardless of their accomplishments will create an atmosphere of fear. Certainly, no one wants to be grossly over-staffed, but a good owner/manager will focus on keeping adequate employee based numbers, and ensure continuing training, safety programs and top of the line employee benefits. It’s their campground, why not have “happy campers?”
4. Selling their business. This does not mean selling in the true literal sense. It means focusing on being sure the company image is one that is the envy of its competitors and is known in the business world as a first class operation. They can do this by having key managers attending industry conferences. Be clear that their focus at these seminars is to network and to gather as much new information as possible. They should also ‘sell’ other attendees on the importance and efficiency of their company in the industry. Upon returning, conduct follow-up meetings with managers where they will report details on what they have learned. Managers attending conventions and seminars should take opportunities to enjoy themselves, as they will be the “face” of their company. Planning, organizing, staffing, direction and control are five major factors in managing a company, and staying focused throughout the process, is paramount!
