  3) Run your ad messages through the ‘So what?’ test  
 


An effective marketing message will have a clear and specific answer to “So what?” and “What’s in it for me?” questions. Your marketing material may all be about company history and how qualified you are. But if it fails the “So what?” test, it needs to be revamped.

Read all your marketing messages aloud. See if they are all foccused on your target audience. Does it have a specific reason why they should ever care about your solution? Ensure that the message is clear and has a specific and powerful answer to the “So what?” question.

 

  4) Delegate and Grow  
 
No matter at what stage your business is in, learning to delegate can boost your productivity and increase your revenue. Being the ‘Jack of all trades’ and continually working long hours will leave you tired and inept. Take an inventory of your daily task, choose the tasks that do not align with your strengths and delegate them.

Choosing the right person who can handle the tasks you are delegating is the cornerstone for successful delegation. Use your judgement and identify the right person who can perform that duty, you are passing on, better that you can. When delegating, make sure you set well-defined and specific goals so that the person who is taking over the task is effective and productive.
