Whether you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in a junior position or you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re at the head of a company, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s potential risk around every corner. Knowing where it comes from is half the battle; knowing what to do about it can be a lot trickier to manage.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But above all else, if your company is at risk, you need to know about it. You need to watch the reports carefully and keep in touch with all of your departments, to really ensure you know where things are going wrong. Burying your head in the sand and ignoring an issue will always make it ten times worse, but you have a lot of people\/services you can rely on. Many hands make light work, after all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what are the warning signs you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking out for? We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve listed the most worrying below for your convenience; get a handle on them before it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too late.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Many Products Do You Carry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/steveandriole\/2016\/04\/01\/10-reasons-why-entrepreneurs-fail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"122\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/10-Reasons-Why-Entrepreneurs-Fail.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43011 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/122;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10 Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Fail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a one product company, as you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t had the time to innovate yet, this doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to be a worry for you. But if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a couple years deep and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve still only got one or two products on the line, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/product-diversification-strategy-40375.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">think about diversity<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the two products you carry offer something that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s both complementary yet different to the other, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clear you know your market! However, if your products are very similar, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to spot a difference from an outside point of view, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to head back to the drawing board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A company that has little product diversity is always at more risk than a company that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spent time pushing out multiple items to market. Sure, your flagship product is a big money maker, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a chance it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make money forever! Times change, and so does supply and demand, and you need to keep up with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Customer Service is Shoddy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/2018\/customer-service-mistakes-business-needs-stop-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Customer-Service-Mistakes-Your-Business-Needs-To-Stop-Making-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"832\" height=\"780\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 832px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 832\/780;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Customer Service Mistakes Your Business Needs To Stop Making<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know how well your customer service desk is managing? Do you even have a dedicated customer service at all? If not, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s high time you put one in place! After all, customer service is a crucial part of business and establishing a brand. You want loyalty from your customer base, and that just won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not taken care of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, without the right people in place to answer queries, compliments, and complaints, your reputation can drop to zero in a matter of days. You also need to generate frequent reports from your customer service desk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to know how things are working; what do the customers like, what do they respond to, who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doing a good job in closing service tickets, etc. Keep a strong eye over this department; you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll always want to know how your company is being perceived by the outside world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Physical Security is Suffering<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/2019\/common-security-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/giant-ransomware-bundle-threatens-to-make-malware-attacks-easier-for-crooks.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"839\" height=\"630\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 839px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 839\/630;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Common IT Security Issues<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The physical premises of your business are crucial to keep an eye over too. Of course, whether you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve rented or own the building you work out of, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be a preliminary layer of security attached to it. At the very least, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have an alarm set up each night to alert you to any issues that occur within the building when no one else is around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is not enough in the modern world. A lot of different things can set those alarms off; you need to be able to see what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on as well. You need to have something like a <a href=\"https:\/\/spectur.com.au\/utilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remote camera<\/a> system set up to keep you aware of what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on in and around your facilities.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to clearly signpost that cameras work in the area as well; even a simple sign alerting someone to the fact that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being filmed can act as a deterrent. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll certainly help to keep your security budget on the straight and narrow!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Much Do You Focus on the Competition?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/2021\/5-ways-to-set-your-small-business-apart-from-the-competition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/the-entrepreneurs-guide-to-building-a-personal-brand.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 960px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 960\/640;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>5 Ways to Set Your Small Business Apart from the Competition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a big question to ask, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an important one. You might not want to focus on your competition, and only keep an eye on how well you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re performing &#8211; it makes sense to see what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right in front of you. However, if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/guides\/201105\/10-tips-on-how-to-research-your-competition.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cast your eye a bit wider<\/a>, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll soon become impossible to compete for customers.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to know how businesses within your sector and niche are performing. You need to know what they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing right &#8211; how are they getting results, what are they doing better than you, etc. Most of all, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll want to keep up with how well they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re drawing customers in. Because every single time they make a sale, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a sale you could have made but didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t continue! So check out sales reports, and general sales activity from time to time. What points in a sales pitch are turning your customers away? How is your sales team personally performing?
