What is Organic Growth in Business?

Organic growth is a method of business expansion using internal investment — finances brought up through sales — and a complex blend of resources, expertise, marketing, relationships & capabilities. 

 

The marketing activities that drive organic growth are both sustainable & cost-effective compared to inorganic growth strategies. 

 

Think of organic business growth similar to compounding investments that secure long-term results. 

 

The organic growth strategies are elusive & counterintuitive.

Slide 1: Present State of the Firm

Well-before entertaining the thought of growing organically, the senior administration must be well-aware of the present-day state of the firm.

 

Only if the revenue numbers are rising in recent years, the company may consider organic growth.

 

We depict this same through this slide that the firm growth has been commendable in the last three years, along with net profits & net margin — also climbing in the right direction.

Slide 2: Firm’s Market Share

At its essence, market share is the percentage of the market possessed by a particular company within a specific industry.

 

In simple words, the company's sales concerning total industry sales. Let's take an example, the industry market capacity is one hundred toothpaste, and a particular company sells sixty pieces of toothpaste. So, this means the company's market share is sixty percent. The formula for market share equates to a company's sales divided by total industry sales.

 

Coming to this slide, the firm's market share is 15% defined through a visually appealing pie graph. A note section on the right corner explains the market share graph's key takeaways to avoid any confusion.

Slide 3: Business Priorities Crucial for Organic Growth

Organic growth is not an overnight affair, and it takes months of planning and execution to attain growth organically. In this slide, we display the priorities for different factors in tabular form.

 

We define the priorities with the help of the number of dots, with one dot meaning least priority and nine dots suggest the factor is of paramount importance. The factor of least priority is “Grow Sales,” and the highest priority factor is “Reduce Expenses & Increase Sales.” What action needs to be taken for each factor is also mentioned to guide your firm to plan a long-term strategy.

 

Each factor in the priority list has to be evaluated and enforced at its core to lay down a robust foundation of organic growth.

Slide 4 : Selecting Suitable Organic Growth Profiles

As said earlier, organic growth is derived from internal resources, and the company can either opt for a single or multi-dimensional profile. The three organic growth profiles are:-

 

Investor

 

Investing in existing products/services along with commercial activities.

 

Performer

 

Performing well on the core capabilities, such as sales, marketing, and pricing. 

 

Creator

 

Creating new products/services and taking advantage of company revenue gains to expand its operation. 

 

We mention the strategy for each organic profile in the table. The company has to invest time and resources to decide which is the right organic profile to proceed with or opt for a combination.

Slide 5: Market Penetration

The most preferred and least risky approach for driving organic growth is selling more existing products/services. And, what would be strategies to accomplish this goal? “Targeting the Market Share of Your Market, Rivals,” “Increasing Brand Loyalty,” and “To Increase Product Consumption.”

 

For each strategy, we define the actions to be taken. For instance, “To Increase Product Consumption,” the prices have to be reduced & promotional offers.

The agenda of this slide is to shed light on the various marketing campaigns being invested by the firm to bring more sales and boost the bottom line.

For example, the Goal of the campaign is to increase market share by customer gain. The Market Initiatives include social media, webinars, etc. The Target Audience would be customers already using your company’s other offerings. The Duration includes June-July devoted to campaign preparation, and so on. And, coming to Estimate Costs, it would be around $20,000.

Slide 7: Altering Existing Products Price To Boost Sales

“The Moment You Make a Mistake in Pricing, You’re Eating Into Your Reputation or Your Profits.” said Katharine Paine — the founder and CEO of KDPaine & Partners

 

To boost sales, your company has to take a significant initiative, and that initiative could be to lower the product's price — only those that your team and customers feel are overpriced. Doing so increases the odds of scaling up sales of these products. However, your marketing team first has to put in a lot of effort to narrow down such products. Once done, a table will be drafted, as shown in this slide, to explain the entire strategy.

 

The table has five columns, first is the "Price Per Unit," "Over List Price," the third column is for the "Revised Price," and followed by the "Reason for Proposed Change," and "Forecasted Growth in the" last column.

 

We have added dummy data in the table for your reference. Edit and add numbers provided by your marketing department.

Slide 11: Selling Through New Channels

Adding new channels such as online shops, drug stores, beauty chain stores, and more could be a powerful way to promote your existing/new products to a vast audience base.

By doing so, your revenue will proliferate, increase in cash flow, and ultimately translate into organic growth.

 

The table in this slide divided channels into two segments, one is the online mode, and the other is the offline mode.

 

The online mode includes department stores, supermarkets, drugstores, etc.

 

The offline mode encapsulates online shops and eCommerce websites.

 

For each product, we mention whether the company is selling through that same channel or not.

Slide 12: Product Repackaging to Serve New Customer Segments

Product packaging could be the main reason that the particular product is selling at a modest pace. For instance, you are a cosmetic brand manufacturing hair fall prevention shampoo in bottles, but the demand of your target market is small sachets. 

 

So, this slide presents an overview of how the company is tweaking its packaging strategy to open new possibilities for each product. 

 

And, this slide provides details of each product’s existing and new available packaging designs.

For example, the marketing department currently has fifty employees, and the target is to increase it to fifty-five. So, five new marketers have to be hired.

Slide 14: Skill Level Analysis For Each Employee

First, each department will conduct an internal skill analysis. The objective is to determine the need for upskilling the present workforce to improve employee efficiency & productivity.

 

The table of this slide is divided into parts, one is for employees, and the other is the skills required.

The skill level analysis for each employee is presented, in which skill they need more improvement, less improvement, and improvement required.

 

For example, employee one needs to improve customer orientation skills and less technical skills, data analysis basics, role modeling, and effective communication.
