In order for any started enterprise to be successful, competent drawing up of a business plan is required. It is necessary to calculate not only the size of the investment, but also to analyze the market, determine the level of monthly costs and the expected profit. The more details and details there are, the more risks and errors associated with business promotion will be minimized. A plan may also be required to obtain a loan, without which it is difficult to organize the sale of large quantities of rolled metal.
To start an activity, it is not necessary to have the status of a legal entity, but you can limit yourself to the status of an individual entrepreneur. At the initial stage, you should decide on a warehouse, next to which it is desirable to arrange your office. If you have a warehouse, you can establish contacts with suppliers, turning your attention not to trade enterprises, but to manufacturers.
Advertising requires the closest attention. You can order a website and promote it to the first positions. No less effective are SMS mailing and posting ads on various electronic boards. It is also better to order the text from specialized advertising agencies with extensive experience in this industry. Although outdoor advertising has not become widespread, it should not be neglected either. It will not be superfluous to instruct the staff to call all potential customers, informing them about offers.
If you have regular customers, it is better if the head of the company makes calls on his own. Of course, if we are talking about only a few customers, then making a call is not at all difficult, and if there are hundreds, or even thousands of such customers, how long will it take to tell everyone the same thing. In this case, it will be convenient to sending SMS via the Internet , which allows you to deliver the specified information to any phone in a short time.
Once you have chosen transport companies for the delivery of rolled metal, you should not stop looking for others, since the competitive price is largely determined by the cost of delivery. The same is true for the staff. Personnel policy is very important, since each person must be unified and be able to occupy several positions. At the initial stages, you can limit yourself to the services of a logistician and a legal adviser from outside, but in the future you should provide for the presence of these positions in the staff of your company.
