5 Essentials of a Successful Business Model

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”. - Benjamin Franklin

Entrepreneurship Program
An Entrepreneur starts his journey with an idea which he believes in. Then he converts the idea into a successful business. The strategies and policies which he formulates, decide his fate as an Entrepreneur.

To start your own Business is a wonderful thought, if it is executed in the right manner. There are many different things which have to be taken into account. You have to take each step carefully. Your one mistake can cost you a lot. We read success stories of many Entrepreneurs and wonder the secret behind their success. Everyone does hard work, then why is it that few succeed and others fail? The success of a Business is determined by the efficiency of its business model.

What is a Business Model?

A Business Model is the detailed plan of the business functions, the target audience, the sources of revenues and profits, products/services offered details of finance sources, policies and marketing strategies.

The essentials of a Successful Business Model:

Your business goals and objectives
The goals and objectives of the Business should be understood in a detailed manner. Entrepreneurship is about leadership. If you will not be clear about the goals and objectives, then how would you convey it to your employees? Success will come only when you have a defined vision and are motivated to reach a particular goal/ target.

Product/ services offered
The Business model should have complete knowledge of all the specifications and features of the products and services offered by the company. To develop new businesses, innovation is required. It helps you to understand the strengths and areas of improvement in the business.

Customer base/ Target Audience
Each Business operates on a different tangent. Having same target audience is common, but the way of reaching them makes the difference. The Business should be focused and dedicated towards its customers. Having a clear idea of who is your target audience is an essential component of reaching business success.

  Marketing strategies
     Marketing is the soul of any business. It plays the role of representing your company and its products/ services in front of all stakeholders. The strategies of marketing include advertising ways, ATL & BTL activities and Digital marketing etc.

  Channels of distribution
The product of a Business Company will be of no use unless it reaches the consumers on time. Choosing the correct channel of distribution means transporting the products to the right target audience through the right channel (mode of transport) on right time. The channel of Distribution should be time and cost effective. To run a new business, adopting the most appropriate and suitable channel of distribution is important.
