Generate sales opportunities
Some businesses seem to take off almost immediately upon start-up only to slow down over time. The truly enduring businesses very often start slow, building up gradually along a sustained growth path over the long haul.
The challenge faced by businesses in a highly competitive environment is how much easier it is for new businesses to appear almost suddenly as market disruptors displacing older established businesses. An example of this is the emergence of online shopping.
Already, weather patterns such as heavy winter snowstorms have combined with easy use of electronic platforms to grow online shopping at the expense of big box stores.
Electronic commerce is rapidly transforming small businesses into Micro-multinational Businesses in direct competition with giant Multinational Corporations. This is because the world is getting more wired up and individuals who invest time in learning new stuff tend to create more sales opportunities for their business.
Lucky sales people are simply individuals who have invested in the right mindset to create and seize opportunities around them.
It is better to make business opportunities than to wait for business opportunities.
