How exciting when You start Your business, Your Vision and you see monthly growth in Sales and Cudtomers.
It’s after months of tweaking your Business Model you finally see that you’re finally out of the Start Up Phase and you’re finally going faster in the Entrepreneurial Journey.
It is definitely a 5 Level Growth Level Journey with Plateau being the Last Step on the Entrepreneurial Ladder that I will focus on in my next Article.
The risk of staying too long in the Plateau level is loss of interest from Customers and stay complacent for
many years without even noticing that Your Business is not prepared for Future challenges anymore.
Which are the Characteristics and Warning Signs when you hit the Plateau Level in Business?
There aren’t need to reach out for more customers, because you’re making a steady 4 months in a row the same amount in Sales which is the amount of Profit you feel comfortable with.
Customer service are accepted by the Customers without complaints in about 6 months
Your Sales Team are reaching their targets without the need to do more to attract new customers
You as the CEO or Founder feel stuck, like You and Your Board of Directors are without the clue why the Sales aren’t improving
Your Customers don’t show more interest in other services or products you’re offering, they are buying the same products or service for 4 months or years
Your Brand recognition came to a halt. People aren’t interested in your Brand anymore.
■ Those are the most important Warning Signs when Your Business hits the Plateau Level.
It’s time to start a New Curve as soon as You see those Warning Signs.
