Get more customers and more sales:

Internet is increasingly used by your prospects to do research on what interests them, and not being present on this medium is – nowadays – considered « suspicious ».

Diversify your sources of income:

If the Internet allows you to bring more people into your existing sales processes, it also allows you to create new ones to diversify your sources of income. This can be done in two ways:

Because we are in 2018, the majority of companies want a website, which at first sight seems like a great idea. However, the problem lies in the way business managers approach this subject, that is, they want to have a website because they consider it an obligation. Having a website only for a website is an expensive expense that does not have the potential to impact your business results, which translates into a bad return on investment.

This last advice is counterintuitive and very difficult to swallow for managers from business schools who have always taught them the opposite, especially for those who are perfectionists at the base. However, if you take the time to think about it, what is the purpose of launching a new product? It’s finding a new source of long-term growth for the company.
