LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY…
In today’s economy, businesses face many challenges. Yet according to business coaching franchise Winfree Business Growth Advisors, the real challenges a business faces are there in good and bad economies. Winfree Business Growth Advisors refers to those as “The Seven Major Killers of a Business”.
“There’s no question our economic times play a role in whether businesses succeed or fail. More often than not, a bad economy exposes a business’s flaws,” said Dr. Keith Winfree, founder of Winfree Business Growth Advisors. “Ninety-five percent of the businesses that fail will fail because of one of the Seven Major Killers of a Business—and a bad economy will only hasten that result.”
The Seven Major Killers include:
- Marketing and Sales
- Recruiting and hiring of the right people for the right job anywhere in a company
- Coaching and mentoring of key people anywhere in a company
- Cash, gross margin, and net profit
- Business valuation, exit strategies, succession planning and business transition as Business Brokers.
- Innovation through quality improvement and other industrial engineering processes (Baldrige National Quality Program)
- Leadership/Legal/Risk Management/Wealth Management
While any one of the “killers” can put a small business under, Winfree cites recruiting and hiring of the right people and coaching and mentoring as the two critical ingredients.
“Hiring the wrong sales people is a common area where business owners go awry, usually because they haven’t clearly defined what they’re looking for in a sales person and then fail to mentor and manage them once hired,” said Winfree. “The end result of hiring the wrong sales person can cost a company as much as $250,000 in lost sales and damage to the company’s reputation. Two or three bad hires can literally kill a business.”
