Are These Your Top 10?
According to Grant Thornton, today’s business owners have the following needs.
Top 10 Business issues for Business Owners
Strengthening customer relationships 97%
Finding Good People 89%
Minimizing taxes 81%
Growing the business 73%
Keeping pace with technology 68%
Managing cash flow 66%
Current business climate 65%
Creating & executing strategy 62%
Retirement & business succession planning 56%
Finding expansion capital 50%
Every business owner I talked and who have engaged RPF GROUP INC services have at least five of these issues they are dealing with. The two I am finding the least interest in right now are succession planning and finding capital. I am sure they are issues but not for my client, at least not right now.
The top two I am seeing are creating and executing strategy and strengthening customer relationships. For most of the business owners I am talking with, these two go hand in hand. They are asking two key questions: why are you buying from me and why do you keep buying from me.
As a result of the answers they are getting they are revamping their strategy.
Call me and ask how I can help you with all of these 10.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackTop ten lists are great. I did market research recently with entrepreneurs/ small business owners and found similar results….while my stats are a little loser, the top issues were attracting clients, growing the business (removing obtacles to grow) and managing $ flow. Finding and keeping good talent was also up there.
I highly recommend these ten top issues everyone applies to my company, I have been working for a very long time at what I do, with just viewing these ten top issues has open some windows in my minds, exspecially removing obtacles to grow , finding and keeping good people and by all means, a good managing cash flow.
