See full version: 7 strategies for growing sales in cafes; independent retailers
For each of the 7 strategies above there must be careful evaluation of the potential gains and how those gains can be most effectively delivered. Understanding the cost of generating additional sales is critical to building an effective sales development plan.
I'll use a relatively simple cafe business as the example here because whether you've operated one or not, you probably are a customer of at least one if not a few.
1. Existing customers buying more of the existing product / services
The best way to ensure your business grows exponentially is to ensure you retain your existing customers and encourage them to buy more of your existing product. There are two key ways to achieve this:- here
3. What's your profitability by customer? Many SME owners don't yet know their profit at the end of the year never mind by customer, but this is key to focusing your efforts in the right direction. It's highly likely you'll find close to 20% of your current customers provide you with 80% of your current gross margin. So, taking into account the lifetime value of a customer, you can start to evaluate those existing customers who actually make your business profitable and then you know what your most profitable customers "look like". That makes it much easier to know who you wish to retain most and if you're going out looking for more customers, what they "look like". more
a. Increase the (average) spend of an existing customer on a single visit
encourage customers to buy an additional product when they purchase. This might be a muffin with their coffee or it might be a second coffee. It could be you suggest they stay and try the lunch menu when they had visited for a late morning coffee. Mostly requires you / staff to be proactive in selling. here
An effective sales development plan focused on customer retention and attracting new profitable target market customers can see exponential growth in profits from 50-250% within 6 months.
I'm at level 128 and only have level two trawlers, to get the level 3 trawlers I need to be at level 130. So will have to plant lots more sunflowers.Does anyone have a list of the levels required for each boat. Looking backwards, lev 2 trawlers require you to be at 125.
@Artmaker (GB1) I've been playing BF for almost 3 1/2 yrs. now. I understand your frustration with the instructions for the deep sea fishing. A few yrs, ago, IMO Larino's website was the best and still has a lot of great info about the game in it. She is pursuing her career and did not have time to keep the site up anymore, but the great info is still there. Now Nina has a fantastic web site all about the game, with lots of photos, details, suggestions, etc I cannot say enough about how much I like her website. I also like that so many players have contributed to it too - so go to crazybigfarm.tk and bookmark it fast, put it on your favorites bar for easy access! You will find the dockyard info on the last side under the flower farm. Then read every section at the top of it.
http://crazybigfarm.tk/farm/dockyard/dockyard.htm is the complete address for the dockyard page. This info combined with Griffith's guide should make it much easier for you. It's all up to you how much you want to put into it studying about the game. I know Nina-will be making some additions to it too.
In your example, you sent out your boat to catch lobsters and came back with I think it was a shrimp and a clam -- you were not fishing in a lobster pool, and no equipment is needed. So we are all learning.
I would be happy to help, just send me a PM. Also doc's fishing calculator is a great help, he will be making another revision too--after I e-mail him with another suggestion for it, I'm sure. :-)
Here is an example of what you can learned by studying the fishing a bit and using the tools I have mentioned.
For a Level 6 Motorboat, 5 Large Freezers, 2 Roy, and 1 Lisa, will give you 60 fish and 1 empty space, which I use for protection and have better results with it than without it, depending on which hole I am using. Protection only costs $5,000 and depending on which fish I am fishing for, IMO it is good. I still have much styuding and learning to do too!
Level 6 Runabout - 6 Large Freezers, 2 Roy, 1 Russel, 1 empty space = 70 Fish
Wherry Level 2 - 3 Thermic Boxes - 3 James, 1 Victor, no empty spaces = 64 Fish
Wherry Level 3 - 3 Thermic Boxes, , 3 James, 1 Vistor, 1 empty space = 69 Fish
Skipjack Level 1 - 1 Freezer, 5 Nancy, 1 empty space = 67 Fish
I still have found ABSOLUTELY no benefit to using any chum when fishing. It does not change anything with my catch, time, etc. NOTHING AT ALL! Has anyone found any benefit to it when deep sea fishing? If so, please give a clear example. I have done some testing and nothing at all changes.

btw guys/girls, after many tests I'm 100% sure now, "extra" fish/per hour rate, that if multiplied by fishing time then can bypass your capacity limit, or, if it bypass the total amount of fish remaining in the pool, then it can decrease "fishing time", regardless of whether you even use Travel speed crew or not, it will directly affect and decrease your "fishing time".

Trawler - Having survived Borneo, Amazonia, and the Congo, the indefatigable Redmond O’Hanlon sets off on his next adventure: his own perfect storm, in the wild waters off the northern tip of Scotland. Equipped with a fancy Nikon, an excessive supply of socks, and no seamanship whatsoever, O’Hanlon joins the commercial fishing crew of the Norlantean, a deep-sea trawler, to stock a bottomless hull with their catch, even as a hurricane roars around them. Rich in oceanography, marine biology, and uproarious humor, Trawler is Redmond O’Hanlon at his finest. here
