Put Your Business On Track For Success – Tip #5 – Gain the Knowledge

Patrick McFadden

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ~ Alvin Toffler

Wow! That’s a powerful quote from Alvin Toffler and a very fitting one for our tip today. Growth in business occurs when you know and have gain the knowledge about leading prospects, customers, and competitors.

One of the first steps to putting your business on track for success is gaining knowledge. Market research is an essential component in your overall business planning process. From my experience many small businesses and entrepreneurs ignore this step. You will not! Research is always a long-term play for the marathon.

Now there are only two types of research that should interest you:

Quantitative, or how much of something.
Qualitative market research, or why customers buy.

There is little room guess-work in business today. So the game is gaining knowledge and using it to position your business for the best year ever.
