Peter Chua discusses the 4 best tips on how to plan to open a business aligned with market conditions.
1. Conduct market research
According to Peter Chua, “most businesses are born from ideas that aim to seize good opportunities and serve an audience that knows what they want. There's no problem with that, but what you need to do is get to know your audience and your market in advance.”
This means that when planning the first steps of your company, you need to research in-depth the market in which you will operate. This study may involve things like:
who your customers are and their needs,
who will be your main competitors,
growth prospects in the sector.
This is a good starting point for your go-to-market surveys and research.
2. Get to know the pain-points of your potential clients
Peter Chua also believes that, “clients will be the main focus of the business, as they directly impact their sales and results.” Therefore, the pain of the clients represents one of the most important areas that needs to be studied. Understand what the needs and wants of your clients, are and how your company can help them in these areas.
We can say that the client's pain is the reason they need you. But how do you identify the pain-points of these clients? There are some useful practices, such as looking at existing solutions, and determining if they are effective our not. You can build upon and fine-tune things that are working right now in the industry and eliminate what’s not. Then be creative and try to think of solutions that have never been developed or introduced to the market before.
3. See the best communication channels
In a competitive market, you will need to find ways to highlight the products and services of your business and get closer to the public. The best way to succeed in this item is to invest in the right communication channels.
Diversify channels based on your audience's interests and find the right strategies for each audience. You can invest in traditional channels such as print and broadcast media, and then integrate this with influencer engagement activities, as well as online and digital media outreach.
4. Understand all financial aspects of the business
Peter Chua illustrates that, “it is essential to know the current ‘state of play’ of the industry you’re looking to enter, and to ensure you have sufficient finances and funds to cover your market entry, survival and growth.”
Prepare a sound finance plan to support the key phrases of the early existence of your business. Bootstrap as much as possible x but find adequate funding for areas that absolutely require financial support. Your business plan should have a financial plan which mirrors and supports each stage of your business plan and journey – from research and intel, building your business model and developing technology, to building a team, launch event, and sales, marketing, business development and growth.
