  • How To Collect Data To Strategically Grow Your Business

    Do you want to collect data to strategically grow your business

    People often think that creating a longer or more complex survey will get better results.

    That is far from the truth and I’ll teach you in 4 Simple steps

    How To Collect Data To Grow Your Business, Even If You Can’t Afford A Data Analyst!

    1. Preview
    2. Briefly give the taker an overview of the survey, similar to a preview in a movie.

      1. Theme
      2. Each survey you create should only have one theme. The theme correlates to the kind of data you’re looking to collect in the survey. Once you’ve established your theme, you can begin to create questions around that theme.

        1. Simple
        2. Keep your survey short and simple. People only have an attention span of 7 seconds (less than a gold fish). The longer it is, the more likely the taker will drop off before they finish.

          1. Thank them
          2. Let them know you appreciate them taking time to fill out your survey.

            Use these 4 steps to collect data like a pro and grow your business like a boss.

          4. Don't Start Your Business Until You Know Who Your Customer Is

            In 2015, I never thought I would have owned my own sushi restaurant. It wasn't until I started asking people questions that I realized what kind of business I should start. It was because I asked questions that I figured out who my customers were and what they wanted to buy before I even started my business or had an idea of what kind of business to start.

            • Tip #2 - Get comfortable being uncomfortable

              • You’ll never be comfortable doing endurance activities. But once your mind can comprehend that it makes it easier.
              • Entrepreneurship is difficult. You’ll have to do a lot of things that make you uncomfortable and will push you out of your comfort zone.
              • Tip #3 - By small and simple things, are great things brought to pass. Nothing great ever happens all at once
