Description
We're covering some topics in this episode, including expanding your business and customer service.
We talk about expansion because it's a very tempting option for many but a wrong choice for most. If your goal is to expand in any capacity, you must have a solid foundation, including your business plan, mission, vision, core principles, and more.
Some options for expanding:
- Franchising: This is when someone pays a royalty to use your business name, model, systems, etc. Not super common in the hair industry, but we touch on it briefly.
- Multiple locations: This is when you open another copy of your business in another location.
- Expanding in your current location: Knocking down a wall, taking over another unit, etc.
Challenges you'll need to consider when expanding:
- Your systems need to be perfected
- Hiring, training, and managing
- Increasing revenue to cover increased costs
- Marketing and advertising
- Financial management
- Increased risk
Keep in mind; Bigger is not always better. In most cases, it's worse.
