Let us start this blog with a one-off quiz. See if you can guess which company its founder is talking about here in this example. Here we go, as picked up verbatim from the company’s website:

 

XX (Company name) is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one. As part of that, we also said that you could expect us to make smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses.

We did a lot of things that seemed crazy at the time. Many of those crazy things now have over a billion users.

This 68-word excerpt is part of a longish company description on the website of…?

 

Well, let us keep it a secret till you see how can you write the best company description for yourself or your clients that hits home to the degree that the above example does.

 

In essence, a company description is an overview of the business you are in, expressed in a structured, memorable format. Apart from the mission and vision statement, it is your chance to create content that builds a brand with incredible recall.

 

A company description is your answer to, “What exactly do you do in your business?” This simple question, asked of many of us at social dos or in casual conversations is incredibly hard to answer well.

 

Yet, it pays to do it, to create it, with passion and intense brain-storming, as it gives you a connect with investors and starts the customer on their engagement journey. Your products and services, history and finances are the other major ingredients that make up an exceptional, stay-in-your-mind company description.

 

A company description is more about the intangibles and the many small ways in which you make a difference to customers’ lives. A business summary, on the other hand, is about the tangible things and how to get things done, and move the enterprise from point A to point B.

ARTICULATE WELL

 

Customers are like a jigsaw puzzle. With company descriptions, businesses have a chance to ignite curiosity and help them take the first step to know what you offer. This is not a small victory. Describe your company well with the clear showcasing of your commitment and why you do what you do.

 

On these lines, companies also need to be mindful to check why they do what they for introspection. If your staff is too uniform, then diversity and inclusion is the answer. Find a comprehensive course on diversity, inclusion, and equity here to add heterogeneity to your business. Click here to get the course, with training material included.

 

By the way, the answer to the question the blog started with is Google, which is technically 1 followed by a billion zeroes. Imagine that for a second!

FAQs on Company Descriptions

 

How to introduce your company?

 

This is both a science and an art. The introduction has to be simple, yet engaging to the customer, while also ensuring that investors don’t find it too flowery and without any business relevance. Here are two top tips to introduce your company:

 

A. Start with what you do, in an interesting way. For instance, Google may say: We sort out the world’s information
B. Include what your customer gets; for instance, answers to every question of yours (in the case of Google)

 

How do you write a company description; what should it include?

 

A company description has no formula to it, but it needs to be an overview of your business and why you do what you do. It is written with a structure, only to the extent of being understandable to customers.

 

For instance, start with what you make, then why you do it and so on. Technically, good company descriptions are all about showcasing how relevant you are to the customers in terms of product and service offerings. It is also an opportunity for you to exhibit how committed you are to your craft, and that’s why you make a difference to customers’ lives.

How can I write about my company?

 

Writing about your company will come from experience, and from the meaning you attach to your business. If it is only to make money, your company description will reek of that and will not be a successful one. To write an engaging company description, you need to be in touch with the customer pain point and the solutions you are providing to them (be it B2B or B2C). Your company description needs to be specific and geared to an end. Finally, remember that it is such an important part of your business profile that outsourcing it to professional could always be better and more cost-effective in the long run. Provide the third party your inputs and let them weave their magic.
