Let’s Meet Small Business Owner Tim
Tim is an ambitious entrepreneur. Eight months ago Tim
decided to start a business on the side in his living room. He began an online
shop selling board games. Not just any board games, but traditional children’s
games made of wood. Tim sources these games from UK manufacturers.
To get things moving Tim bought a domain name and purchased
a simple website builder package through the same company he bought his domain.
Tim began selling four different games but as his business started to develop
and the social chatter began to take place his product range grew from four
games to now currently ten. When his range grew so did his stock quantities.
His living room became his work shop and storage facility.
Within months Tim began to see his business take off. Tim
was receiving 10-30 orders a day from his website. The growth of his business
started to take a toll on his work and personal life. The volumes of orders
began to eat his time outside of work. He was a one man band. Every order that
came in, he personally processed, packed and shipped. Tim understood early on the
seriousness of customer satisfaction. Tim made it a point to always respond to
customer enquiries as soon as he can. This led him to slowly lose focus at
work.
Tim was now in the crossroads. He started a business to make
additional money on the side, but never considered it to be his main focus.
However, now he is finding little to no time to manage his business, work priorities
and his personal life effectively.
Out Growing Your Small Business Process
Tim is not the only victim of his success. When you run a
small business, there are many factors that go into its growth. Being able to hold
and manage stock as well as shipping your products are major catalysts for
development, because it allows you to sell to so many more people. Processing
orders efficiently will grow your customer base. In order to pack and ship
successfully there are many variables to consider.
