Based on your experience, what advice would you offer to entrepreneurs who want to start and grow a business?
While Sciensus has been helping patients get the most out of their medications for over 30 years, we have continued to innovate our services to become more digitally enabled to put patients at the center of everything we do, while doing the basic correctly.
For entrepreneurs looking to start their own business, the following will not change whether you are an established company or a growing new company:
Do the basics brilliantly: If you can't get the basics right for your customers and stakeholders, your business won't have the foundation it needs to succeed or grow.
Know your value game: Make sure your stakeholders feel like they are getting enough value from you. If they don't, they won't engage with your brand and your business proposition will suffer.
Build your business for future growth: If your operating platform is not designed for growth and your digital capabilities are limited, this can restrict your ability to innovate and be agile enough to be able to pivot and take advantage of new growth opportunities.
Be passionate about your business and your brand; This may seem cliché, but if you don't believe strongly in your business and what your brand stands for, no one else will believe in it either.
