As we have previously seen small businesses have advantages to big business, such as better access to market information, greater flexibility to adapt to changes, greater innovation capacity, etc.
So if we want to compete well with large companies, only a matter of reaping the benefits as small businesses has. Then look at some strategies or tips that will allow us to leverage our advantages, and be able to compete with big business:
Partnering with other companies
An effective way to compete with large companies is to partner or create alliances with other small businesses.
For example, we may partner with other small producers and ensure that each company deals with a part of the production, and thus be more efficient, or we can from all open a new plant without having to leave our businesses.
We also join with other companies and buy in quantity from suppliers, and obtain volume discounts, or can share marketing costs, for example, by throwing together some advertising campaign or organize an event or exhibition together.
Providing excellent customer service
Another effective way to compete with the big company is emphasizing customer service.
For example, we strive to offer a personalized service where a worker meets the same customer during the checkout process or we can try to advise customers on their purchase, first try to understand their needs and preferences, and according to them, provide the product or service referred to him, the one that best suits them.
Another way to get customer service is maintaining contact with the customer after the sale, for example, to call to see if satisfied with the product, or to send cards or greeting cards, or a small gift for being a frequent customer.
Here we present the 5 main reasons why companies often fail, and some tips on how we can meet each of these reasons:
1. Lack of experience
Creating and managing a business is not easy, is not something you learn from the overnight, but it is something you learn over time. Learn how to create and manage a business requires theory, but above all, a lot of practice.
The lack of experience often results in overly optimistic, unrealistic projections in hasty decisions in inefficient management, etc.
The experience acquired over time, simply by creating and managing businesses. If you do not have much experience, it is advisable to start small, beginning with a small business, taking some risk, and making decisions without fear of making mistakes or fail, knowing that mistakes and failure is where one learns more.
2. Lack of capital
Another reason why businesses fail is lack of capital. Problem that arises when one has not produced good budget expenses, do not get the expected sales or the company grows too quickly and there is not enough money to take supply.
To address this problem, before starting a company, the first thing to do is develop a good business plan that allows us to make a good projection of both the expenditure and revenue, which, in turn, allows us to calculate what the capital requirements necessary to implement the business and to operate during the first months of life.
Another way to address this problem of lack of capital, is to seek to minimize investment (for example, by comparing either the prices of inputs and equipment, choosing rather to suppliers, etc.), But without sacrificing quality.
3. Low sales
An obvious and common reason why businesses often fail is the low level of sales that come to get.
The reasons for low sales obtained may be several, perhaps picked a bad location, not properly segmented the market, it offers a quality product; it provides a good customer service.
The main ways to combat the problem of low sales are to provide a quality product, provide good customer service, perform sales promotion, and increase advertising.
Accepting the request of the customer and give credit, may be a way to increase our sales and create or maintain a business relationship with that customer. However, accepting the credit can be significant problems of liquidity, or the risk that the client does not pay on the agreed date or even not get us to pay.
In the case of large companies, they have a credit and collections department that allows them to efficiently manage credit and collections thereof. But in the case of small companies or businesses, the decision to give credit to a customer is not something we can leave it to intuition, but is a decision that we should assess it.
Let’s look at some tips you should take before deciding to give credit to a customer:
- First must assess whether we are able to extend credit. If, for example, recently we have started our company and we are short of cash, may not be very convenient to sell even to credit.
- The second is to assess the customer who requests a loan, which includes evaluating your time to market, his business experience, credit history, your ability to pay, etc. Information can be accessed through government agencies, credit bureaus, suppliers of the customer, and the same customer.
- Is necessary to assess either the client, however, the depth of the assessment will depend on the confidence we have in the client and the amount of credit. For example, for a single sale of a few bucks, not worth spending so much time and money investigating the customer.
- If after making our assessment we are still not very convinced of the client’s ability to pay, we must bear in mind that there is always the possibility of requesting some kind of warranty.
- Once we agree to give credit to a customer, you must specify clearly the conditions of the loan and, if possible, you should sign a contract that also includes debt and deadlines, including penalties for late payments.
- We avoid possible credit sales, and if at some point we do not have enough liquidity to extend credit to accept, we must be frank and kindly notify the customer that the problem you ask us.
Finally, a council relates to the granting of credit is to have a program or software that allows us to store information and customer history, and includes detailed records of customer behavior to credit, for example, how were slow pay, how often fell behind in payments, etc.
So that we can better manage our credit and collections, and, above all, we have information that will help us better assess our clients when we subsequently requested a new loan.
While it is true that lending rates, the rates charged by banks for loans to customers, has no major changes to the debtor, there are institutions that offer a lower rate, so the recommendation is that a restructuring of the debt if the difference between institutional and other larger than two percent, said program director BA in Economics from Institute Technological Autonomy De Mexico (Item), Germaine Vargas.
“If, for example, hired 25-year mortgage and the bank will charge you a rate of 16% per annum for the valuable you decide to pay off your debts and mortgages with other banks because the interest will fall down more than half a percentage point,” said the scholar.
Scotia bank HSBC, for example, is some entities that have lower interest rates mortgage loans, with the aim to gain a larger market share.
If you are thinking about starting a restructuring of your debt, it is best to pay the full debt you have in credit card and start the process of restructuring the mortgage debt, he said.
“If before it paid 8500 pesos per month for your home and going for 20 years at the time of the restructuring will give you freedom in your earning potential when 7.5 A00 reduce that monthly payment. It can also consider implementing other credit or finance a car,” Item said the teacher in it.
Another aspect to consider is that you consider what your financial future, i.e., you do not say goodbye to your job and you will have a solid economic future to handle the renegotiation of credit, said Rojas.
If you are looking for debt restructuring in this credit card options offered by banks to customers, according to data from the National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Financial Service Users (Conduce).

There are various IT service providers, with different profiles, the company has to consider several points before closing any contract. Here are five key points to consider:
1. Planning
Before meeting the service provider, the company needs to know, relieving their needs, taking into account the culture of the company. Some questions to be answered before setting out to find the service provider are, IT consulting is only to reduce costs? Or to improve the quality of service? It can perform an analysis of indicators IT? What is the expected outcome in the short and long term?
2. Initial rating
Knowing the needs, the company has to hire a provider to fill the profile being sought. Generally, smaller consultancies are not worked methodically and with very complex equipment, and for that reason, have a cost structure and lower prices.
