December 28, 2018 — SHAWNEEE, OK, December 28, 2018 – Are you happy with your business this year? What are you going to do differently? How can you hire the right people to support your vision? Sadly, many small business owners do not spend enough time planning for the future. It’s quite understandable. Managers must keep pace with the daily demands of their businesses, including payroll, taxes, product/service delivery, and customer expectations., Dr Daryl Green provides vital insight on conducting an organizational checkup for small businesses for the upcoming year.

Based on the study of 2004 Small Business Administration (SBA). In the study, it is known that 580,900 small businesses opened in 2005 and 576,200 others are closed. It is noted also that 67% of the new companies can only survive at least 2 years while the 44% others survived at least 4 years.

According to Dr. Green, small business owners need to evaluate their businesses. Dr. Green explains, “Like humans, small businesses could benefit from a good checkup too. Nowadays, small businesses are experiencing the realities of a hypercompetitive economy. In fact, buyers are smarter and savvy about purchasing their products and services. Therefore, businesses must adapt to changing times.”

Dr. Green notes, “I partner with local businesses as both a practitioner and academic. Effective universities know how to help area businesses to grow. I want to serve in this capacity too.”

In the public sector, Dr. Green has managed multi-million-dollar projects as well as conducted more than 100 organizational evaluations. He realizes the struggles are for both small and large businesses as it has been stated by SBA. Sure, the problems struggled need to be diagnosed and overcome. Therefore, there are the eight most important checkup questions to ask when someone is intended to build up his or her small business before entering the year 2019.



Here they are.

Do you have a clear vision for your business? What is it?

Do you know why your customers buy from you and why others do not buy from you?

What results are you getting from your marketing? Do you have an effective online presence on the web?

Are you collecting data or the right kind of data on your customers and competitors?

Are you keeping pace with your industry trends? If so, what are the key trends?

How are you measuring results (i.e., key performance indicators like cash flow and revenue)?

What are your key competitors’ marketing strategies?

Have you evaluated your strengths and weaknesses (i.e., SWOT Analysis)?
