Business Development Lessons Learned
Always be available
Finding your customers is one thing. But listening to them is even more important - what are they saying? What do they want? What do they need? For this reason we learned that it is very important that one should be available 24/7 i.e. give them the possibility to contact you easily and any time they want (thank god we have Social Media Channels and Email ;))
Getting Likes and Followers on Social Media is challenging
Setting up a Social Media presence is easy. Anybody can do that. But getting people to follow you online is a real challenge. People don't want to get spammed; they receive too much information already every day. This is why it is crucial that we shouldn't just post any useless things. We have to post things that are worth following i.e. things that our customers appreciate.
