A new market means new business opportunities, but a keystone to achieve that is careful planning and execution. So, here’s an approach for both solopreneurs and entrepreneurs to penetrate a new market while building a robust business core with successful scaling.

Capturing a New Market

Begin the entry by embarking into a new market with a few unfulfilled aspects of the business opportunity. Lower tiered markets could be more useful. Refrain from providing credit too liberally to distributors as well, get paid prior to the second delivery. Aim towards enhancing visibility in the area which will therefore lower travel expenses for delivery. Once a market share of ten percent is achieved, additional expansion can be pursued. Controlling expenses on distribution along with commercial terms would provide steady growth and maintaining precise estimations of your Total Addressable Market (TAM) helps as well.

 Strategy Making for the Market Entry

Having enough team members for larger markets can result in overhiring and achieving the opposite of your intended effect. Balance is resource management is important. Smaller markets on the other hand, don’t require as many skilled workers, highly focused and motivated individuals would be more suitable.

 Follow-On Market

Once familiar with a market, determine the next move. Understand the overall potential and customize the work based on the revenue that is currently being earned as well as the revenue that could be earned. Focus on creating a business that is scalable across many markets.

 Defining Your Core

Core is what defines a business and gives it a competitive edge as well as investor interest. What core component differentiates your offered brand from others—be it a service, product, or a value offered? Make sure to enhance it. Simply being the first mover will never be enough; it needs to be something that your customer greatly values and creates long lasting market impact.

Building Your Core

Think outside the box to generate ideas that are fresh and can provide the utmost value to your customer. In addition, these ideas can be backed with patents or other intellectual property to solidify a competitive advantage for the business.

 The Fundamental Elements of a Strong Core

The strongest core must meet these criteria:

Exclusively Different: Defies competition in the industry.

Valuable to the consumer: Solves a significant challenge for the consumer.

Expansive: Must proactively grow to meet customers’ evolving needs and experiences.

 Examples of Strong Cores

Superior companies tend to have strong cores that help them win the marketplace:

Microsoft – Protection for innovation.

Apple – Unconditional loyalty.

Toyota Innova – Dependable and superior quality.

Reliance Jio –  Heavy spending in infrastructure investments.

Improving Your Business

In order to improve a business, one needs to focus on achieving a particular structure. Have clear settings forROI and put focus on new products and regions that can be developed. Use the IDEAL approach (Integration, Delegation, Elimination, Automation, Liberation) for improved productivity.

 Business Expansion Strategies

These are some approaches to business expansion:

• Acquisition of new clientele, increasing transactions, and addition of new products.
• Increase the loyalty of existing customers and the number of repeat sales.
• Revise pricing strategy or launch additional products.

 Resources to Reach Clients and Exceed Market Growth Aspirations Rapidly

To maximize ROI, use Technology, Training, and Team (3Ts). Applying the appropriate tools and upskilling your staff will enable your business to grow faster and allow new customers to be serviced more effectively.

From Self-Employed to Fully Owned Entrepreneur

While moving from a self-employed individual to a fully owned business, increase your prices, head to more elite clientele and outsource some labor. Generate passive income, enter into new markets, and create competitors based projects to broaden your reach.

Other Advantages of Using Distribution Portfolio

A well devised distribution portfolio increases market and sales operational efficiency and lowers costs. It also opens the door to new reliable business partners.

 Locating The Right Distributor

Check for experienced sales reps, trade shows, and social media to find potential distributors. Also, watch your competitors closely, and become knowledgeable in your industry in order to build authority.

 Distributor Recruitment

Have a compelling offer for the distributors, and train them accordingly. Demos, media plans, and customized products need to be provided too, but most importantly, clear ROI goals must be set.
