There aren’t any born leaders. Most of the leaders are self-made. They train themselves to become an effective leader. Becoming a leader is a challenging job. If you want to position yourself as a leader.

Listed below points can help to become a great leader:

Take the Responsibility: 

The first and the foremost step to become a leader is to lead yourself and take the initiative. It is important to learn how to take the responsibility for anything. Unless you take the responsibility, you would not be able to handle the projects. You should participate in the projects and take the responsibility also. Stay motivated and be open to new ways of doing things.

Keep Promises Always: 

One should not make false promises. If you’re not sure whether you can keep the promise, do not commit it. If you do so, you are likely to lose your credibility. Unfulfilled expectations can make the clients lose trust in your brand and company. So, never make promises that you can’t keep.

5 Tips to Prepare your Business Grow Globally

Leave a reply

Grow Business GloballyDo you want to grow your business globally?

Would you like to minimize the risks and maximize the chances of success?

Every entrepreneur wants their business to succeed globally. If you want to expand your business globally, you need to catch the attention of the potential users.

As a founder of Space-O Technologies, I’d like to share my experience of expanding my company to the USA.

Here are some tips that can help IT companies expand their business globally.

  1. Know your Company and Industry:
    It is important to understand your company and the target users. There will be constant updates and innovations in the industry. In order to know what’s going on around the corner, keep an eye on the industry trends and market. If you want to enhance the sales, identify the potential clients and build rapport with them. It is important to understand the users’ behavior and find new ways to attract them.
  2. Define Business Plan for Global Markets:
    The business owners should identify the company’s present status and think of a business plan. Build a strategy to develop the customers’ trust and loyalty. Rather than replacing the customers you lose, you should try to retain the old ones. The main focus should be to build long term relationships with the customers.
  3. Build your Business on the Basis of Customer Experience:
    You won’t be able to maintain a loyal customer base if you do not pay attention to the customer experience. Dialogue with your users and understand what they feel about your products or services.
  4. Be Transparent:
    If you’re making changes within the organization or business processes, you should keep the customers informed. They would feel that they’re getting attention and would become aware of the changes. You should also have them voice their feelings and feedbacks.
  5. Choose the Headquarters:
    There are several factors that should be kept in mind while selecting the headquarters of your company. Choose the HQ where talented skill set is available. While entering into the new market, you should do some research and find the right destination for HQ.

Expanding your business globally is not easy. For achieving success on an international level, you should focus on customer loyalty and retention. Look for new ways to grow your global reach.

Swell App

Purchase of Swell confirmed by Apple

Swell App

The deal between Apple and Swell has been confirmed now. Though the company did not comment on the purchase price, rumors are out that the deal was worth $ 30 million as Noted by appleinsider .

As Radio app Swell offers a fantastic mix of different podcasts and this app has definitely helped podcasting reach the point it required to be at. Congrats to the Swell folks.

The Wall Street Journal reporter Daisuke Wakabayashi has confirmed the purchase of Swell on Tuesday.

Apple confirms Swell deal w: we buy “smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.”

And, the Closing message displayed on the Swell’s Website

Thank you for using Swell over the past year. We wanted to let you know that the Swell service is no longer available. We’ve been inspired by the opportunity to create quality products that positively impact users’ lives, and we are grateful to all our listeners. Thank you everyone for your support!

The bad news for Swell users is that the app is probably going to shut down. It would be great if Apple builds it directly into their podcasts apps. But nothing is said about it. Swell was available for free download on iOS App Store, but Apple would remove the free download option. Wondering what made Apple make such a decision?

It is assumed that the simple and user friendly interface of Swell was the major reason to Apple’s acquisition of the product. The service goes beyond by analyzing the user’s listening habits and offers a personalized podcast stream. The users could simply hit the play and start hearing the songs that might be of the user’s interest.

It is presumed that Apple would be inviting Swell’s team to join the company. With Swell, Apple is also making some additions to its team to help the giant deal with the podcasts apps. If they cannot transform it into something completely new and innovative, they should at least be able to improve the podcasts app.

Not sure what’s the major goal of Apple Inc. behind it. Apple purchased Beats earlier this year and now, we hear about Swell, it seems Apple is building some music platform for the music lovers. Let’s wait to watch the clear-cut story!

This news has come soon after Apple bought BookLamp. Apple kept the news of purchase of Swell under the wraps until last week. Apple has completed 29 acquisitions since the last 9 months. Hope this deal proves to be worth buying!
