The main goal of all businesses, whether it's health & fitness, childcare, education, real estate, marketing or anything in between, is to expand and grow, especially ones that have repeat customers and recurring payment processing set up.
As they grow, their reach and regular revenue streams increase, which are indicators of health and overall success. However, this is assuming that the organisation is adequately prepared! It can actually be counter-productive if the growth happens too quickly.
Why? Because the business’ operations can become overwhelmed with handling the increase in demand, as well as servicing the regular customer base. Suddenly, the manual billing processes get stretched, and the whole operation can collapse on itself.
As counter-intuitive as this may sound, growth is only beneficial to a business when it is controlled and managed correctly, so that the organisation can adequately prepare to deal with the increase over time. If this control is not there, this can have serious consequences both in the short and long-term.
If your business is headed down the fast-track, it can happen so quickly that you may not even realise. Suddenly, everything is spiralling out of control, and by then it may be too late to stop.
To avoid this, smart business managers keep an eye out for the following tell-tale signs, and adapt the business to regain control, and cultivate growth in a manageable way.
Don’t let progress be your downfall.
It’s an exciting but challenging time when a business is experiencing rapid growth, and it’s crucial to regain and keep control to harness the advantages of the expansion, without getting crushed under the pace.
