Why Your Business Can’t Grow!

I work with a lot of businesses turning over £1 - £5 million pounds who are trying

to grow and finding it a struggle. Maybe you might also be experiencing the same -

your business can’t grow! The reasons why are all too often the same one! It isn’t

their product or service. If they have got to 1 million + turnover then clearly the

core offering is fine.

Often it isn’t their marketing. They have grown to this size through whatever sales

and marketing strategy they have been using, and that has worked so far.

And it isn’t the staffing levels – most of these companies have adequate or slightly

surplus staffing, and their recruitment processes work.

No – the reason most of these businesses just can’t move above this ‘glass ceiling’

is that their teams aren’t ready.

You might be wondering what on earth I mean by this. Maybe you haven’t considered the link between the company growth and the readiness of the team, but I

assure you, it’s very real.

What are the Signs That The Team Isn’t Ready?

There are a number of signs you might have noticed in your business. Perhaps you

are doing too much or getting dragged into the technical work of the business, with

no time to think strategically or put in place new operating practices.

Maybe you know your team needs to be doing more. You wish they would step up

and make more decisions instead of referring everything back to you. They need

to step up as leaders and make things happen. They need to be able to influence,

create performance and set direction.

Moreover – YOU need help with getting them there because what you have been

doing up till now hasn’t worked. Of course, your development is critical because

everything comes from the top, but as a business reaches a certain size, every

single detail, every decision, and every interaction cannot originate from you.

Your Business Won’t Grow Until Your Team Grows.

As a solopreneur, you can get your business to a certain size. But it will never grow

as big or as fast as if you have a top-performing management team in place.

That’s a tough one to crack but it can be done. And once your management team

is performing as it should the business can easily grow to 10 x the turnover (and

profits) it currently has.

So, how do you do that?

Well, it is what I help businesses to do every day of the week, for many years. Often

it takes an outsider to be able to look objectively into what is currently happening,

spot the gaps and have the arsenal of training and coaching skills to be able to

make the difference, that makes the difference!
