Review your business situation

This short, on-demand course consists of three main parts:

• Current situation review
• Target audience identification process
• Goal setting

Getting to know your business better and reviewing its situation as it is right now is the first step in the marketing planning process. Skipping research and jumping into outlining strategy and tactics may turn out to be disappointing, as you will have no previous data, no current information to base your decisions upon.

In order for your marketing to be the most effective, you need to know:

• Where your business is right now
• Where are your strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats
• Your business model
• Your business plans and goals (including personal that are connected to the business)
• Who do you want to work with, and where those potential clients may be located

Be fully aware of what is happening inside and outside of your business in order to make informed decisions for the future. 

Goals for this three-part bundle:

• Get to know your business better, spend some private time with your business and assess your situation.
• Prepare a SWOT analysis (handy business tool!) for your business.
• Know who your competitors are and what they’re doing and what can you do better.

Map out exactly what do you want to achieve in your business. Establish short- and long-term goals and learn how to evaluate them for smart and efficient business growth. Dream big!

• Define business goals – long term vision and short term goals
• Get to the bottom of why did you become a translator or interpreter and know your motivations
• Look at your profits, marketing, skills and set your expectations against your goals

Start building your customer-centric approach by identifying people you would like to work with. Customers are the foundation of your business – put your focus on the right people and develop your client strategy!

• Find out who your ideal clients are and how to define your ideal client avatar.
