You can't go into business without strategies because it is the backbone to a successful business
They are many marketing strategies that, when you apply, it will become very effective in growing your business, I have stayed with business people, and my time with them really taught me different business strategies.

You have to tell me within 200-250 words about your understanding of how you will solve the problem if you find yourself in this situation.

The customers are always right
This statement always rings in my area whenever I find myself I such situations because sometimes customers are annoying, but for the sake of business and also promotion of your brand learn how to ignore them and also treat them special so that you will expand your business.
A good customer service is another secret way of promoting your business thst many don't about, when you attend to your customer very well he will promote your business by telling people about it and also how you attended to him very well.

Oftentimes, I have found myself in such a situation because I stay in my dads shop sometimes, so I encourage such issues, but I have learned how to handle it with care.

Listening to the opinion of your customers is very good in promoting effective communication between both of you, sometimes the price of good may be higher and when the customer come he will definitely say negative things but you have to understand from his own side because he is the one paying for it.

As a business man or woman you can't do without your customers, but your customers will do without you because they will go elsewhere to patronise other businesses, learn how to create a good relationship with your customers

Customers always complain about the increase in prices of items in my dads shop.
I will just smile and explain to them the reason for our actions, I will also crack jokes with them, and they will feel comfortable and happy.

A good relationship with your customers is very important, also engaging with your customers is also good as he will feel very comfortable bonding with you and once the chemistry is there he will also come to your shop to buy goods.

We are all humans, and sometimes we misunderstand ourselves, and it will lead to a serious argument, but as a businessman, you should learn how to control your anger so as to promote your business.
Once you learn ho to take good care of customers then your business will grow to the top, apologising to your customer even though they are at fault, which is very important because they are the ones patronising you.

If you have an increasing business and need more staff, then what is your hiring plan?

Of course when you have a very big business that is Booming and people patronise all the time you will definitely need business professionals in all aspects to assist in growing your business because you can't do it all.

Though hiring staff to help in controlling your business is very difficult because you will need a very honest and loyal someone for this role.
I have seen people businesses get crashed due to the people that they hired, and it make me to become afraid of proceeding with any hiring plans, but for your business to grow, you need people to assist you.

My hiring plan will be very simple and unique, I will place a poster inviting interested applicants to apply for this special role, and they will be a qualification for it.
You must have experience in business and also a good grade in business administration, I will hold interview for all the candidates, and theirs performance will play a huge role in giving them the role.

I will also test them by asking them questions about business and the best answer will definitely get the job, it's not easy hiring people to assist you in your business but I will definitely make sure that I select the best candidates.

What are your company goals? Do you have any plans to fill in any roles in the future? If so, what category of staff will you appoint?

My company goals will be to give good and special attention to customers. This will help in promoting my business because a customer is just like a face to your business success.
Advertising will also be another aim of my company, we will make sure that we advertise our business on all social media platforms so that my company will be global.

In the future, I will try to expand my business as time goes on because I will make a profit from it. I will organise some giveaways to my customers, this will enhance a good communication

I will try and look for more experienced staff who have managed a business before, this way, it will be easy for them to take care of my business because of their previous experience.
I will look for loyal and trust worth staff that I will be able to give control over my business, sometimes I may be away from my company due to some personal reasons so I will need to handover control to an experience staff.

If you have an expansion plan that defines the strategy you are willing to follow for growth and achieve your targets, then what are your expansion plans?

From some small beginning comes great things and yes, most of the successful businesses were all started with little profit and capital. It was how they managed it that made it grow to the top.
Patience, determination, and business strategies play a huge role in expanding and growing of business, and also, if you appoint a good business partner, it will also make your business become global.

Once I make a profit from my business and I discover some strategies on how to grow my company, then i will do it without hesitation.
But at first you will need some advice from your business partner so that you all will be on the same page.

I will look for capital to invest in my business, and I will try and look for more investors to partner with me.
Giving a popular person an ambassador role of my company will also go a long way in expanding my business because he will try to assist me financially.
Buying more goods and also expanding my company by building a warehouse for keeping goods will also help I'm expanding my business, I have plans of creating a Facebook page for my company and give and intelligent person to control it.

Have you any plans to engage with your customers rather than just sell and forget them? Will you create credibility through giveaways and samples that also play a role in attracting customers to your business?

Yes, I will make sure that I engage meaningfully with my customers by making positive interactions between staff and customers.
Meaningful engagement is one of the best ways of drawing customers' attention to your business, and yes, I will try to create a good relationship with my customers.

I can't just sell and forget about my customers no way, because when your customer see that you remember them, they will be happy to patronise you.

Creating banners and flyers will help in promoting your business, when someone see your business through advertising he will want to see things from himself, a positive design and writeups will play a huge role in drawing the attention of investors and customers to your business.
I will give a reward to the best customer of the year and also host a get together for me and my customers to that we can enjoy ourselves and sldo discuss on how to move our business forward.
