You have finalized your business concept, put together a business plan and registered your new business properly? Now that’s a good reason to celebrate (Hint: Invite your customers and new business partners to your opening in order to use this event as effective advertising).
Marketing & Sales
Now you need to work on the precise implementation of your business concept: Advertising, public relations, customer acquisition and the distribution of your products or services.
HR & Leadership
If you already have employees working in your start-up, it is highly important to motivate and manage them wisely in order to establish a positive working atmosphere.
Finance & Controlling
Your day-to-day routine should include a close supervision of financial developments and the according controlling issues.
Cooperation and Networking
In many cases, the eventual success of a start-up depends on beneficial contacts, appropriate partners for cooperation and the your embeddedness in social networks.
Associations
Business associations represent joint interests in public and political life. Usually these associations offer a lot of different exciting events, which provide excellent opportunities for networking. To find relevant associations for you, see www.verbaende.com
Networks
It is undisputable that activating the right contacts at the right time, can prove to be highly beneficial. In most cases, the first customers of a new start up are friends and acquaintances, although these networks are not infinitely expandable. In due time, you should work on building a solid network of social contacts. The benefits of receiving someone’s "business card" often come to light much later than the initial point of contact. In most of the larger cities, there are special networking events and institutions, which facilitate business co-operations. These establishments help young entrepreneurs to widen their networks and get in touch with potential business partners and suppliers. Additionally they will receive free advice and support from people with first-hand experience.
