Why Market Diversification Matters

You always have three target markets, always because then if one comes under pressure, the hope is the other two are not under the same pressure. So it keeps the business afloat while the seas even out and you try to figure out what’s going on. So that’s why this any marketer out there, any salesperson, your one ideal client, and talk to me about your one ideal client. Tell me any successful corporation that’s focused on one target and and it’ll be a miracle, because that doesn’t happen. You have to have revenue diversification, and one of the best ways to get revenue diversification is through target market diversification.

Tracking Profit Indicators for Smart Decisions

The reason you track your key profit indicators is because you’re looking to make a decision between persist, pivot or pause. And so as market trends occur around your target markets, that’s when you decide, Okay, do I persist? Because, hey, there’s a good chance the courts are going to, like, nullify this, and it’s going to be okay. Do I pivot? Which is what you’re talking about doing right now, which is, I’ve got to go and direct resources towards other target markets that aren’t at risk or aren’t as risky right now. And the other one is to pause, which just goes, Okay, I’m going to pause resource allocation to this group to wait and see. So is it, is the dust going to settle? And if it does, great, I’m back in if it doesn’t, then in 90 days I reassess and go, Okay, am I permanently pausing, or am I going to continue to persist, or if I’m going to continue to pivot.

Stay Agile: Adapting to Market Changes

So that’s why you’re constantly needing to track what your business is doing every single month so that decisions can be made, especially when you’re looking at target markets. So as buyer behavior shifts, you have to be paying attention to it. You don’t get the end of 12 months ago, oops, I could have made a correction nine months ago, and then my revenue would have been safer.
