Effective Tips for “How to Dominate Your Market”

1. Have deep-rooted knowledge of your target audience.



Business follows people. The deeper your understanding of the people in your emerging market, the easier it becomes to serve them the right product.
For Boris Mordkovich, the founder of Evelo, an electric bike company, says, “Success in entering new markets and taking over comes when you spend heavily in getting to know your product’s target audience, and aggressively serving them your products based on the customer information you have on them."
From Mordkovich's perspective, startups can’t survive for long in new markets with aggressive competitors if they don’t have an edge over the competitors in customer information.
“Not everyone is your target customer," he added. Previously, we were heavily targeting the 20s and 30s for our electric bikes. But fortunately, due to our heavy investment in knowing our target audience and how to serve them, we accidentally discovered that our main customers were on the older side: 50 or 60, baby boomers, recent retirees, and that singlehandedly helped us build on the market."


2. Have a profound entry point strategy.



Creating your entry point strategy is where the magic happens. You need a concrete plan for your launch into a new market -- a unique entry into a niche sometimes spells doom to the company that doesn’t strategize well.
For Jack Vogt, CEO at Credit Zipper, says, “If we don’t have a concrete and astounding entry strategy into the new market, my team and I will put a hold on the launch. Your entry will become your culture. It’s the way you enter that spells how your audience will see and perceive you. And this is hard to change. Any mistake from your brand during that fragile brand build-up stage can thwart your business progress in that new market."
It’s a waste of resources to delve into a market you don’t have an entry point strategy for. A thorough business analysis will constrain your decisions and make you plan your entry point strategy better.


3. Make partnerships a solid strategy.


 Don't try to do it all yourself. If you have a weakness or need help, meet another brand with strength in that area and partner with them for a mutually benefiting business.
Rebecca Montrenes, CEO of Lanyards USA, says, “Partnerships are pretty awesome. We regularly partner with brands in new territories to reach far more than our capacity can reach as a company. Partnerships help us get deeper market penetrations which end up with the two companies making a profit as a result.”

4. Develop a strategy to own the market.




“We take over new markets by making sure we stretch ourselves to beat everyone in that market on products coverage or services coverage,” says James Bradly of Dealslands. “I have found out that when a company becomes that big, they automatically become the face of the new market. And this position helps your brand pick up the signals of new markets and new trends within the main market before others discover them. That way, your brand is always investing before others and buying out promising competitors before they even become real traits."

TRAIN YOUR MIND TO BE CALM IN EVERY SITUATION

Great leaders always seem to remain calm, during situations that make mere mortals fall to pieces. Conventional wisdom says that the ability to remain calm is a character trait that most of us lack. Neuroscience, however, has recently revealed that remaining calm under pressure is not an inborn trait, but a skill that anybody can learn. Here's how it's done  ⤵ ● [ Understand the biochemistry. ] The opposite of remaining calm is the state of "fight or flight," a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. The reaction starts when two segments of your brain called the amygdalae interpret a situation as a threat. This perception causes your brain to secrete hormones that tell your nervous system to prepare your body to take drastic action. Your breath gets short, your body floods your muscles with blood, your peripheral vision goes away, and so forth. Since neither fig

7 Things to Do Before Starting Any Project

Gauge the scope of the project The scope of the project is the first thing that has to be ascertained. What is the overall aim of the project? What are you looking to achieve? Once you know what the scope of the project will be, a plan can be devised. However, you should be aware that the scope can change throughout the project as different stakeholders ask for more to be included in the final deliverable, so the system must remain flexible. Set the success criteria How is the success of the project going to be defined? By the quality of the finished work? By the amount of money it costs? By the length of time taken to complete it?

Why We Say What We Won't Do (but Still Say It Anyway)- The Bigest problem of us.

Every day we say a lot about what we want and will do. “I want to pet a cat.” “I want to buy a house for my parents.” “I don’t want to be single anymore.” “I will love you no matter what.” “I will work harder in the future.” It’s easy to make plans for the future. And we make resolutions all the time. Consider that a full 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February.1 And that a vast majority of relationships (plus many marriages) end as well with break-ups or divorce. The best intentions and the best-laid plans generally speaking end in failure. No one intended to lie In general, people make these kinds of promises or resolutions with the best intentions. They don’t want to fail; if anything, they want desperately to be right, to improve themselves, and to make their friends and family happy. So even if a resolution doesn’t work out, when they utter them, it’s far from a lie. People often speak without thinking. They say what comes to mind, bu
