Many mistakes can be made in business and if you are able to avoid some of them by reading and taking note of these warnings, then the time taken to put these together will be worth while. Here are some business mistakes that are common to many entrepreneurs..
You need to know what their requirements are. You need to find a bit more about their buying patterns and you need to be aware of your competitors so they don't take your customers away from you. Also provide good customer service. The short answer to customers is, work hard to get them and when you've got them, keep them by providing quality products, service and good support so they won't consider going anywhere else.
This means that the fact you have a lot of stock in the warehouse or a lot of equipment or other assets, does not guarantee you will not fail. If you don't have cash you will definitely fail because most people don't' look kindly on being paid for their goods and services with your stock or plant or equipment. People want cash.
Make sure you have good morale in your workplace, because that will result in high productivity and high profits for the business. If the business is doing well, ensure that the staff know about it and praise them for it. The best confirmation of your satisfaction with your staff will be when you share some of that increased profit with them by way of bonuses and other benefits.
