Turnover is a prerequisite for you to succeed with your business, and now you have hopefully come so far that you have received orders or commissions. Congratulations, your business idea works! Now is the time for you to get a real spin on the turnover. Find out what characterizes your customers, what services or goods they buy and make sure to optimize it. Do you have items or services that are slow? Try marketing them harder, repackaging them, or replacing them entirely. Things that don’t sell despite persistent efforts tend to steal valuable time without generating revenue.
When you know which goods or services are doing well, it is also easier to increase marketing towards these in order to give turnover a real boost. Keep track of unnecessary costs, the simplest explanation of unnecessary costs is simply to list what would be nice to have but is not needed in the start-up. In the beginning, only business-critical things such as marketing should be on the list of costs.
Machines and aids for example, if you have a service company and are unsure whether you need machines or other aids for your tasks, it is often possible to rent them when they are needed. It is also easier to charge your customer for machine rental than to charge for something you already have. Gradually, you notice what is needed for the assignments.
