Why Small Business trumps Big Business

Why Small Business trumps Big Business

Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot that small moving companies can learn from big moving companies, and ironically it can work in both ways. As you grow your small business, realize that big business isnt always the best way to go and that your small moving company can have big business practices in place and still trump big companies.

One of the things that small moving companies can learn from the big ones is how to work in a truly professional way. Most small moving companies do not have enough accountability, which can stem from the owner or family members that run the business. Small businesses tend to rely heavily on certain employees, which is not enough strategic planning. If an essential employee quits or needs to be let go, where does that leave you? Take a lesson out of the big moving company book and plan for the worst, just in case the worst happens.

However, small moving companies are able to compete well with big business because they have a much quicker decision making process, big business owners can take a lesson out of the quick decision making process. Small moving business owners need to use this advantage to get into a market segment quickly, drive profit from the segment as quickly as they can, and get ready for the day that big moving business moves into town. Hopefully if or when this happens, your small business has enough big business practices in place, a large enough marketing and a good clientel list, that it wont even be a threat.
