MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, January 07, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Outsource Australia have revealed 3 of their favourite business growth strategies.
The New Year often instigates business owners to think about their future and provides them with the opportunity to start afresh and implement new growth strategies. To accommodate these growth strategies, businesses need to scale up and boost their workforce so that they can handle an increase in consumers, take on a greater market territory and ultimately, become more profitable. However, despite the benefits of scaling up many small businesses and start-ups either choose not to, or find the process too difficult to make any real progress. Research conducted by Babson College Professor Daniel Isenberg found that in a 2014 survey of Danish businesses, less than 1% of start-ups scaled up successfully in their first 5 years of business. Whilst in America 1/10,000th of the total number of US companies created around 160,000 jobs in the last two years, counting for just 1/20th of the total US economy.

Outsource Australia believe that this struggle to scale up successfully stems from poor strategic planning and a lack of confidence among business owners in their own abilities and market opportunities. To help make 2016 a year of explosive start-up growth the sales and marketing firm have outlined some of their favourite growth strategies which can give businesses from all industries the boost they need to excel in 2016.
1) People
A business is only ever as good as the people within it, therefore it is important to involve people who share the right outlook and determination. Hiring or working with people who are tuned into the workings of the industry, as well as the needs of consumers can help a business overcome almost any challenge. Everyone needs to bring something unique and of value to the table, and business owners must screen candidates not only on their skill and knowledge, but also their personality, and how their views fit in with the company's mission, values and culture. After identifying the right people businesses must ensure they are fostering a creative culture and doing all they can to build a collaborative work environment where people feel confident to share their ideas.
2) Keep it Simple
Businesses need strategy to succeed however this strategy should be kept as simple as possible to ensure everyone is on the same page and understands what is expected of them. Everything a business needs to do to succeed should be able to fit on one piece of paper, including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the business. From this one page plan businesses will be able to set clear goals for each quarter, referring back to the plan to ensure they remain on the right track.
3) Look at the Bigger Picture
It's easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day, but allowing this to happen can prevent a business owner from seeing potential opportunities. One way for business owners to remain open to future opportunities is to relinquish control and avoid micro managing. There's no point hiring a strong team if they are then not trusted to perform the day-to-day tasks on their own.
