Tips for Boosting Business Productivity in 2020

 

The year 2019 has ended, with it, a decade. Putting the year 2019 under review, there are couple of lessons to be learned when it comes to handling businesses. Below are highlights for boosting your business productivity in 2020.

Some ideas might seem basic at the surface and business owners may tend to ignore them, but these “little things” should not be taken for granted. This brings us to the first tip of having a productive business in 2020.

Know Your Customer

Know your consumer needs and develop products that help satisfy those needs. The all essence of creating a business is to provide solutions to solve other people’s problems.

One big pitfall most businesses have run into is getting comfortable with a routine, forgetting that the tastes of the consumer are ever-changing despite its originally eclectic nature. Business owners should always find a way to tweak already existing products to meet these changing demands. Ever wondered the need for Coke Zero when the normal Coca-Cola was selling by the truckloads?

Identifying consumer needs is not as difficult as it might sound. It takes engaging your consumers in discussions. Encourage them to give feedback on the products. As much as it depends on you, keep your services as personalised as possible. Always acknowledge these comments; it just might encourage them to send another.

Boost and Nurture Customer Relations

Most businesses, if not all, want new customers. But what is a new customer if you lose two of your old ones! Old customers are usually the source of new ones, directly or indirectly. So nurture those old clients.

You can do this by staying in contact with them via different means. Newsletters, emails, text messages – these are just a couple of ways to do this. Try to always make these means of correspondence personalised.

Grow Your Network

Invest time in building your networks. Who you know is more important than what you know. Therefore try to get to meet more people. Attend networking events and do not be hesitant to put your business out there.

Possible benefits of networking include the possibility of customer referrals by word of mouth; it is a form of marketing. Another benefit is that you could get positive ideas on how to further grow your business. If possible, have discussions with your fellow competitors. It almost always pays.

Utilize Social Media

Social media is a powerful tool for businesses. It provides an easy platform to conduct market research, get consumer feedback and even promote and advertise your business. The best part is that it is relatively easier and cheaper to run when compared to other traditional methods, and it undoubtedly yields better results.

As common as social media is, some businesses have overlooked this goldmine. It so happens that some don’t have a social media presence while some others have not gone through the process of growing their brand’s visibility on the network. What this means is that those ventures miss out on prospective clients that are teeming on social media, feeding off scraps. Hence, try to boost your visibility on social media. Take advantage of Brand Influencers, create sponsored ads, grow your following by posting relevant and fun posts, and so on. Your clients are on the timeline.

We all desire to see consistent, strategic improvement in our Alma mater, so as to keep the banner of our alma mater flying higher than ever. This is why we are encouraging old school students of legacy schools in Nigeria to make a definite impact in improving the educational infrastructures as well as personnel development in their alma mater.

The gift of education was once given to us all, now it’s time to give back to our alma mater, to strengthen it, reinvigorate it so that more children can be educated and more success stories can be created.

This is our reason for believing that old students of legacy schools in Nigeria can help to restore the glimmer and hope that their alma mater once was to students, so as to contribute to the improvement of  quality education in their alma mater and to also inspire the current crop of learners that quality education matters.

The Total School Support Seminar and Exhibition (TOSSE) presents an opportunity for old students to make their impact felt in their respective Alma mater. TOSSE is an educational event that has produced amazing results in teacher trainings through extensive educational seminars and workshops which has greatly improved the quality of teaching personnel in the educational sector of the country.

The TOSSE 2020 promises to be even better with several insightful programmes like: Teachers Leadership Seminars, IT training for teachers and three Master class teacher training sessions which would imbue and certify teachers with the knowledge they need to compete favourable with their counterparts’ home and abroad.

This is a window of opportunity for old students to actively support and sponsor teachers of their old school to acquire modern teaching knowledge and leadership skills in TOSSE 2020 Master class sessions, which is focused on training millennial teachers who would make education in Nigeria, a revered profession.

There are several other advantages of supporting and sponsoring teachers of your alma mater to TOSSE 2020, aside from knowledge acquisition, attendance at TOSSE event places schools on the educational map of Nigeria, so they can create networks that would help the school grow and develop in the educational sphere of Nigeria.
