2011 Challenges: Economic Uncertainty, Sales Growth
The Growth Coach "Business Barometer" Survey Polls Nation's Small Business Owners; Sheds Light on Internal and External Challenges Expected in 2011
CINCINNATI, OH, February 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the first quarter of 2011 shifts into full gear, business owners must analyze the top challenges they expect to face in the coming year and how it will impact their business. According to a survey conducted by The Growth Coach, a national franchise of business coaches with a presence in more than 140 markets, the economy remains on the top of small business ownersEUR minds, along with generating sales growth.
Based on survey responses from The Growth Coach franchise system, 57 percent of business coaches reported that their small business clientsEUR view the economy as the greatest external factor that can pose challenges for their business in 2011. Although a recent article by Bloomberg News stated that AmericanEUR s confidence in the economy has increased, small business owners remain skeptical of an economy characterized by an unemployment rate above nine percent and income fluctuations.
Also examining internal aspects affecting the outlook for small business owners in 2011, the survey reported that 76 percent of owners view the ability to generate sales growth as the top internal challenge facing their business.
EURIt is crucial for business owners across the country to constantly be evaluating their businesses and looking ahead so that they can determine the greatest challenges that can impact their businesses,EUR said Greg Scheingold, President and Co-Founder of The Growth Coach.
