But, if corporate have these aspect, it means, they already in the right track.

So, what is that 7 business aspect? Let's find that out!

1. Targeted Consumer

Business is about selling. That is the one thing that we should know from the beginning (eventhought that is not the only principe). And to sell, what is the main thing to understood? Yes, a consumer.

If a corporate know who is their consumer, it will be much easier to sell. So, targeted consumer is one thing that a business must have.

2. The Best quality product creating from the newest technologies

Off course, the consumen isn't the only thing to sell. To sell frequently in various time, we must have quality product. Yap, if we only know how to sell our product to our consumer, without giving our product some consideration, it will make our consumer dissappointed. Off course, there is no worse thing in the world that an angry consumer. Believe me.

So, make sure your business organization have the best quality product on it's class!

3. Differentiation product from competitor

What the point of selling Burger, if your burger only same with Mc Donald Burger (both in taste and price)? Yes, no one will even remember about your brand. So, in order to make your brand awareness higher, your product must have some differentiation from your competitor.

That was easy, but a lot of company failed on this steps. Because different doesn't mean freak!

4. Product positioning and company as a market leader

5. High speed market penetration

What is market penetration? Market penetration is the way your brand known by target before get known before. Pretty confused isn't it?

6. Highest quality of human resource and ability in teamwork

Every company need an employee. And in order to be the greatest company in the world, they must have a good quality employee too. But, only good in individual grade will not helping company much. So, company must have some good quality employee with the great composure to working in team. Great ability and great teamwork!

7. Adaptative interest in different situation

If your company only targeting interest in one boom interest, by the time flew, your target will dissappear. So, your interest must be good enough, or, if you can't, your interest must be adaptative in different situation. That was hard, but not impossible.
