The new year brings lots of opportunities for setting goals not only in your personal life, but in the work place. Setting your goals and keeping them can be a challenge if you are not prepared or willing to go above and beyond. At Offer Launch Media, the Merchant Account Department has made many goals to help jump start 2012. Some being, gain more knowledge of new potential merchant account partners, build more compliant and consumer friendly websites, and increase chargeback win percentages. These goals can be simple but significant for your company. The point is to make the goal and achieve it.
A companies ultimate goal is to obtain experts in the industry. This may be difficult for those expanding their business in 2012. Finding partner that are well versed in the industry. According to Inc.com some of the top hardest jobs to fill in 2012 are in our industry; Web developers, Design experts, Marketers, etc. Inc.com says that hiring the best of the best is an absolute must if you are going to build a successful company in 2012. We have to become a bigger and better expert than the competitors.
We all know that the industry is changing and we need to change along with it to stay above the competition, but, like the hockey great Wayne Gretsky once said, “I don’t skate to where the puck is; I skate to where the puck will be.” That’s our goal at Offer Launch Media, to be ahead of the game and be where the industry is going to be. Companies will fail this year while others are expanding, make it a goal this year to drive up your business, expand your services, make goals to develop a greater experience for your customers. As long as you’re on top and making 2012 the best year it can be then your company will follow suit.
