Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

A Startup’s Adaptability Can Benefit Growth

For obvious reasons, startups are considered the more challenging small enterprises to run. Not only do you have a shoestring budget and perhaps are learning the full ropes of your business for the first time, but you also need to know how to convey who you are to arouse interest. 

Attempting to convince strangers to trust you with a first purchase or service use is an uphill task. Reducing the risk for startups often means slashing rates and other measures to gain that first client.

Luckily, this process is achievable, and planning upfront can work in your favor, allowing you to be flexible and adaptable. In practice, this means that your flexibility, ability to address issues more quickly and without several layers of bureaucracy, and use of absolutely everything as a learning tool can help you grow in competency (and maybe even size) faster than you think. 

For example, consider how plants of varying sizes and even enormous trees grow from just a seed. Planting in the most optimal space and paying attention to growth details allow for a flourishing landscape. Keeping that fun imagery in mind, our collaborative blog offers insights into how a startup’s adaptability can benefit growth.

The Chance to Rebrand

As a startup, you have the luxury of flexibility when handling your image. It’s not uncommon for small firms to change their entire persona as they grow into mid-level companies. Moreover, unlike established companies with years of brand recognition, you can quickly pivot your brand identity. This isn’t to insult your brand, but if no one knows who you are, they won’t suffer the confusion of a re-introduction. 

Rebranding allows you to quickly adapt to market trends, customer feedback, or a change in direction if needed or if you learn a new visual profile that suits you better. It can also breathe new life into your startup, which many companies commit to doing.

Quick Promotions & Signage

A startup is, by definition, a lean operation, meaning you can quickly roll out promotional campaigns or update your signage without navigating through layers of approvals and tiring vetting that isn’t needed. This “agility” enables you to capitalize on opportunities (like retrofitting your production for a large client with a huge order). 

Additionally, all the conventional methods of managing your promotional effort can work well, such as yard sign printing, which is inexpensive but quality. Just because your company may be small doesn’t mean you can’t proudly show your presence.

Limited Overheads & Simple Planning

As a startup, you likely have lower overhead costs than giant corporations. Doing so translates to assigning and using resources more efficiently and simplifying your planning processes. With fewer complexities and fewer stakeholders to consider, you can make decisions faster and adapt your plans according to changing measures in the market. But what does that mean in practice? 

While business itself may have dwindled during the COVID-19 pandemic, flexible startups working from rented offices or hosting on laptops were much less exposed to risk than restaurants that had physical locations that suffered a lack of foot traffic. Understanding this keeps you agile and helps you better assess risk where it comes.

In Conclusion: A Startup’s Adaptability Can Benefit Growth

Our mindset matters most as it replays either negative or positive thoughts. Getting a startup off the ground for ongoing growth can be more challenging than we originally envisioned. But with fortitude and perseverance every day, there will be a time when you surprise yourself by asking, how did that happen?! The key is never to give up and strive each day to make a small advancement that ultimately can lead to more significant success than you initially envision.

Elinor Stutz broke through barriers long before doing so was popular. Against all the odds, she defied the theme “women can’t sell” to become the top producer at every company she ever worked for, ignoring attempts to get her to quit.

Eleven years later, I lay motionless on a stretcher with an irreparably broken neck. Two visions appearing before me, and a brilliant gold light encasing my entire body, gave me a reason to believe I would recover. I wholeheartedly knew I was about to empower audiences far and wide. At the moment, I negotiated a full recovery with the promise to be of service. The surgeon and hospital staff anointed me with the title “The Walking Miracle.”

As the CEO of Smooth Sale, Stutz adapted the motto, “Believe, Become, Empower.” Believe in yourself; Become the person you envision; Empower your audience to do the same. Stutz is on the Social Media Committee for Inclusion Allies Coalition devoted to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
