Dominate Your Industry or Niche with Systematic Automation
By Michael Valiant
You're probably painfully aware that many business owners waste a significant portion of time and money on insignificant tasks throughout any given day.
The simple truth is, you can't move your business forward when you spend hours a day reading email, responding to customer enquiries, fielding phone calls, taking orders, or participating in any of the other straightforward but time-consuming activities that seem to fill every hour of the day for so many of us.
The success of your company relies heavily on your ability to achieve goals, and if you are too busy taking care of the mundane day-to-day operations of your business, you'll find (and have probably already found) your ability to exploit new opportunities seriously hampered; and that has serious long-term effects on the life of your company and your own personal well-being.
Sales and marketing form the core of any business growth strategy. The amount of time you are able to spend actively pursuing them will lay the foundation of your future success. But, because so many people waste so much energy and resources on activities that don't yield their company any significant results, their business suffers.
But, imagine having the time to execute even half of the ideas and opportunities that have until now, passed you by. Imagine owning and running one of those self-sustaining, "money-machine" businesses that you have always heard of and envisioned for your own company.
Is it possible? Very!
Can ANYONE do it? Absolutely!
It all starts with outsourcing all non-essential activities applicable for your business:
Hiring outside Experts to help finish tasks and projects faster
Hire a Virtual Assistant (or VA) to take care of all your mundane tasks
Find a Mentor to avoid costly mistakes and learn winning procedures to model
Hire a Support Center to field your phone calls
Use the right combination of software and technology to Systematically Automate your online business
What do I mean by Systematic Automation software?
There are a number of ways to use technology to automate your daily work flow and free up your time for the more important and essential task of growing your business.
Fortunately, there are many Internet-based and web supported solutions to help you today. The power and leverage you get online reduces much of your manual labor and can even completely automate repetitive work.
You can easily automate the following:
Your Online Order Process
Recurring Orders
Up-Selling and Cross-Selling
Fraud Security
Client Prospecting
Client Follow Up
Customer Service
Technical Support
Mailing List Management
The Tracking of Essential Statistics
Advertising
And Many More Administrative and Sales Functions
This concept is so important for your business, let's take a minute and look at it from another angle.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking of exactly how some people seem to be so lucky and always seem to be able to find and capitalize on the greatest of opportunities?
Have you ever wondered how some business owners seem to have all the time in the world to take vacations with their families and go golfing or fishing every week?
Are some people just lucky? Maybe…
Can you make changes to enjoy these same benefits? Absolutely!
There is one thing that all successful and happy business owners have discovered and applied (read that sentence again and take it to heart, because MANY people fail with the very last word!)
Outsource ALL Non-Essential Activities!!!
That's the big secret folks! Imagine for just one second… Going into the office in the morning (maybe 'The Office' is in the spare bedroom) and NOT having to check your email, NOT having to put on your headset and start taking phone calls, NOT having to check your website stats, NOT having to do anything that does not directly GROW your business, which, as the owner, should be your primary task.
The strategic use of automation determines who'll come out ahead and allow you to exponentially multiply your discretionary time. And if you are not getting bogged down with all of the mundane tasks that fill your daily schedule, you will have more time to concentrate on Advertising, Marketing, Sales and planning out your Business Strategy.
What does this mean for your business? (Guess what happens next!)
Instead of having your head down, buried in the usual daily grind, you all of a sudden find yourself looking forward more often, and before long you are going to find yourself faced with more opportunities than you ever would have even noticed before.
And because you don't have a million and one insignificant tasks to handle, you're able to reach out and grasp at the choice, dangling fruits, turning your business into that 'self-sustaining, "money-machine," Internet-savvy business' that you have always desired.
