Strategy from the Outside In
Even in the worst business environment in memory, some companies have gained market share, grown revenues and profits, and created more value for customers. Indeed, some have managed consistent market share, profit, and customer value growth through the boom-and-bust business cycles of the last twenty years. These are not flash-in-the-pan companies. They are the likes of Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Fidelity, Cisco, Walmart, Amazon, Apple, IKEA, Philips, Texas Instruments, Becton Dickinson, and Tesco. We’ve spent years looking at these companies (and many less successful ones) searching for patterns and commonalities that explain their stellar results, and we’ve concluded that they offer these important lessons: * These companies approach strategy from the outside in. They begin with the market, not their own capabilities. While that may sound easy, it is incredibly difficult. In the vast majority of companies inside-out thinking dominates practice and inevitably leads to eroding customer value and company profits. * These companies invest in generating and deploying unique market insights to inform and guide their outside-in view. They don’t guess or fly blind. * These companies focus every part of the organization on achieving, sustaining and profiting from customer value. These actions are the major focus of our book because we find it’s what really distinguishes market leaders from other companies that are just muddling through over the long-run. Market …

Small Business Insurance Quotes
Small business insurance quotes, while provided aplenty on the Internet, may or may not provide all the protection a particular business may require. There is too much at risk when operating a small business to take any chances of operating without the protection of business insurance. It takes the help and guidance of a qualified insurance agent or broker to help small businesses understand the dynamics involved in obtaining coverage that is risk specific. A tire salesman, for example, has a much different exposure than the Chinese restaurant where he goes to lunch.
Commercial insurance policies are best written for each individual risk as opposed to being written for the individual. While it is possible to obtain multiple small business insurance quotes, it is also important to make sure that they compare across the lines of coverage that are being offered.
Policy limits may apply to the physical property as well as the general liability exposure. Liability is the all-important third party protection that not only extends to customers on the insured’s property, but also to the products and completed operations that the business performs.
All too often, the unforeseen exposure may only be discovered when a suit is filed, making the safety net of business insurance an invaluable part of the business arsenal when it comes to protection. Typically, a good agent will be in communication with an insurance company’s underwriter where they can both be instrumental in tailoring a package that not only covers the exposures sufficiently, but will also include the appropriate credits so that agreement on price can be made without unnecessarily limiting coverage. With business insurance, it is not advisable to manipulate the coverage to mitigate the price. There is far too much at risk.
As any small business owner recognizes, there is a lot of blood, sweat and tears that go into getting the business up and running. Since insurance rates are regulated by the U.S. Department of Insurance, it’s a safe bet that lines of coverage will compare rather well between small business insurance quotes. It is then left up to the competition between carriers where they will allow credits to bring the premiums down. Further, a good agent will work with an existing insured or potential client so that every effort is made to ensure the safest risk possible and therefore the highest level of credits available to further help reduce the premiums.
There are many efforts that can be made to provide a safe environment for customers, as well as employees. Slip and fall hazards can easily be avoided, yet often, these are the cases that are most often settled without dispute due to the costs they may incur. Installing safety railing or painting a step to make it more visible are just examples of some of the simple steps that can be taken in an effort to prevent needless accidents. A wholesome approach to running a business, as well as a wholesome approach to appreciating the requirements of a comprehensive general liability policy will allow a business owner to discern the best coverage for the best price among small business insurance quotes.
