I have a small business in the IT sector. We are a Services company, no stock or selling hardware etc. We have a small but loyal Customer base. Most of the work we do is billable hours and fixed price projects for medium sized companies, we build software and in most cases are their "outsourced" IT provider. Most of the clients we have are long term ones that we have got through word of mouth.
I need to grow the business, it needs to up its turnover so that we can pay the staff more and make us more resilient to loss of Customers.
So I am looking for suggestions on how to do it. Initially I am thinking of joining a few networking/business leader groups. If anyone has any suggestions on which ones, or alternative/additional ways to grow a business I'd love to hear from you. I am basically looking to bring in more Customers. We are in business 20years and have an very good reputation, with excellent Customer references. Obviously I have my own ideas on how to proceed but I would very much welcome any input from people with who have tackled this challenge, or who have expertise in this area.
Thanks!
