Define the product

It may seem obvious, but you have to analyze in detail the product you want to offer, explaining how it differs from what already exists in the market. This aspect is very important, do not forget to list the advantages, technical characteristics, economic and commercial product and a market study for whom. It would be interesting to ask: what needs to be covered and what your target audience. In today’s competitive market you have to be original when looking for an idea, but at the time of expose.

Do not forget the competition

In this same analysis should not be forgotten: what competitors are, how they work and how they sell, what their market and due to there trying to figure out what advantages and disadvantages will present our company with respect to them. It is important to devote a section to the barriers that we encounter when entering, to try to bring solutions. The most common are those related to economies of scale. manufacturing costs decrease as production increases due to the existence of high fixed costs. This leads to the already established businesses in the sector, capital-intensive sectors and difficulty in accessing distribution channels.

It has a good marketing plan

Just follow a few steps to arouse public interest in buying. That is the goal pursued by a good marketing plan. We must study the project’s commercial variables: product, price, distribution and communication. Takes care of this marketing plan should be appropriate to the overall strategy of the company must be qualified, to be reviewed and, above all, practical, and should contain achievable goals. The advantages of having a good marketing plan is that it serves as a connection between the various departments of the company and helps to identify new business opportunities. The marketing plan should be based on market research. It sets appropriate policies to bring to market a product or service and explains how they are expected to evolve. There are different models from the marketing mix, which includes the study of variables such as product, price and distribution, merchandising.

Make your first investment in a well-structured plan

The time spent in the development of this document should be read as the first and most important investment we are going to do as a company. Moreover, the company began its journey in real time of writing develop ideas we had in mind, this must be done in a structured way; tries to outline what responsibilities we assume, which expenses are necessary, what benefits we can get, what commitment is becoming a partner in the business, etc.. The business plan itself can be regarded as a marketing tool and will serve as an introduction to get funding, because potential investors need to know the viability of the project.

A presentation on the face and eyes

In short, the business plan must collect all keys and classroom activity forecasts but written in a simple, and it is directed at the same entrepreneur. If I had to do to others, you can also choose a multimedia presentation. The document must begin with the company presentation or summary of the project and a presentation of the promoters as a curriculum of who each of the entrepreneurs. In any case, what should be clear is the business idea, the progress of the project: its origins and current status, its valuation with strengths and weaknesses. When you have a format, almost all follow common rules: a main file shortly with a short summary on the findings of market research, comments relating to the financial studies and an exhibition of technical data and a summary required one or two pages where it is exposed in a more attractive a synthesis of all aspects of the project.

Continuous Working Circle:

To clarify, we can start the circle at any point possible as an opportunity for someone to offer, creating movement to create opportunities, from a specific project that generates motion, or an ability to build a project on their part. So the circle four variables have no fixed home.

The last variable, Wisdom is acquired by going through the four repeatedly variables. Each project will bring more knowledge, every opportunity will give us new perspectives, movement or dealing with customers will give us an understanding of negotiation, the study by the ability to increase our skills. Therefore, the Working Circle, will be enveloped by Wisdom, which in turn will be enhanced by the circle in a logical and necessary symbiosis.

On the Move, select in what sense move. “For a ship without any wind directions are adverse to them.” Therefore, we can not say “Well, I’m wanting to do something, I put my PC in front of me and an ad – I am a designer / programmer / whatever – and wait.” One has to focus its efforts, either own or your team, it can be to work honorary, advertising costs and even with our own customers.

We can create your own projects, as a portal of opinion or a blog to let us know, we can select an NGO and offer our services free, customers can choose first class and the first job offer at a low cost for us to try, the possibilities are unlimited.

But not every possibility is a good move, not all the paths we choose are good, because they work for free for a company must have adequate justification, but we would be giving our service, so the movement should be chosen with wisdom.

Once we have movement, does not mean that we are saved, because it could cause bad been lost, look for differences, this requires waiting for the right time, choosing the exact channels and be able to express the solutions so talkative and dynamic. Not only that, we know how to create a desire to a need.

Need> Desire. One does not create needs in people, I can not give because obviously thirsty, thirst is inherent to humans. But if I can make you want to take my super mega cool drink with added special c00l turn you into superman. The idea is that we will always, the needs are everywhere, is in our capacity to know to find it, then give way to desire to seize the opportunity.

This is not trained since opportunities arise, it must be so in advance, to be experts on the issue, since it requires great mental speed to take advantage of every opportunity correctly. Because in addition to more opportunities closed and turned into projects, enhanced capacity for learning will have these.
We can establish that more projects, more movement, more movement, more capacity increased, and at this, more opportunities, which in turn generate projects. Thereby establishing a healthy circle of Labour.

Identify a need
This is also a fundamental principle of marketing, who detected a need to know time and properly cover is most likely to succeed in your venture.

Detecting a lack
Sometimes you do not need a great idea innovative and dazzling. Just find something that simply is not being done and that, if implemented, could succeed.

A deficiency
Closely related to the previous paragraphs, these ideas arise when someone realizes that something is already being done or not done properly or you could do better. This is one of the motivations that often leads to entrepreneurs to leave their jobs and establish itself in the same activity.

The idea of developing a business and create a company operating it is more common than we think. We are all to some extent we are all entrepreneurs and business ideas happen. The problem, of course, is knowing how to exploit this idea in more or less sensible, and profitable, of course.

Ignorance of the market
It is absurd to embark on an adventure in an unknown market. But it is also dangerous to believe that a market we know by the mere fact of having worked on it for several years. We must make every effort to understand how the market is our business and how it works.

Product or inadequate service
It is very likely to fall in love with your product or service and do not understand what the market is asking. If the product does not meet what the market wants, the product is inadequate. We must continually ask whether the product offered meets the customer expectations.

Marketing Mistakes
