by Fabiola Stein, Sage’s Global Head of Marketing for Sage One. It’s a hectic Tuesday morning — you’re scheduling meetings with investors, emailing the new marketing assistant, and trying to figure out how to improve the way you run your business. Being an entrepreneur means you’re on top of everything your startup needs—even though at times it may not feel like it—but are you taking the time to learn new things so you can recharge and grow, too?

You have set up all your social channels and even spent money to advertise and build a fan base. But now what? Nobody is responding to your posts? There is barely and interaction and you feel that all the efforts were in vain? Well, the only consolation here is that you are not alone. Many businesses and Startups face the same scenario. It’s a bit easier to set up and have engagement when you run a personal Facebook page, and maybe that can already give you a clue as to why that happens.

It follows that the average investor will make average returns. In the world of startups and venture capital all the money is concentrated in a small number of winners and average returns are probably below zero. Certainly they aren’t sufficient to compensate for the high risk and long lock up inherent in startup investing. The venture industry is highly secretive and I don’t have good stats, but I do know that only a very small percentage of VC funds make carry and that investors in

Starting a business is exciting, scary and—let’s be honest—very, very confusing. If you’re like most small business owners, you might not be fluent in “business legalese,” or have an MBA or formal business training. This can make navigating the process a little tricky; d eciding what kind of business structure to form is a frequent trouble spot. A sole proprietorship, a partnership, an LLC, a C corp (and what about an S corp or a B corp?

You have a landing page and plenty of traffic, but no one is clicking the submit button on your lead gen form. What gives? If you’re like most people, your first instinct is to remove form fields to reduce friction. Sounds simple and, well, pretty obvious, right? If you want more people to complete your form, ask less of them. A best practice was born.

A/B testing is highly useful, no question here. But a lot of businesses should not be doing it. They’re not ready yet. Roughly speaking, if you have less than 1000 transactions (purchases, signups, leads etc) per month – you’re gonna be better off putting your effort in other stuff. A lot of microbusinesses, startups and small businesses just don’t have that transaction volume (yet).

The next time you meet with a fellow entrepreneur and discuss your businesses, ask him/her this question: How profitable is your business? For some reason that question never gets asked, yet it is the only one that matters. I don’t care how much revenue your company generates. I don’t care how many employees you have. What impresses me is how profitable your company is.

I was on a panel in Denver last week that was hosted by North Highland (those guys rock, btw!), and I was asked the question, “What is one of the worst mobile app experiences today?” I didn’t have to think long before the answer came out, Waze! I know, I know, everyone loves Waze. And I still love the promise of Waze, but can we all be honest, the user experience is terrible.
