You\u2019ve developed the business plan. You can visualize what success might look like. This is your entrepreneurial moment of truth.<\/p>\n<p>Once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/blog\/2017\/11\/important-factors-startup-success\">a startup is launched<\/a> and has reached a certain point of growth, these will be the happy memories of the early days you reflect back upon. There is always a risk, however, that some things won\u2019t go as planned. Maybe you won\u2019t be able to raise enough money. Perhaps the business won\u2019t scale to become a profitable, viable entity. It\u2019s also possible that you will misjudge the demand for whatever products and services you\u2019re introducing to the market.<\/p>\n<p>Not every startup founder will experience these extremes, of course. For many, the reality might fall somewhere in the middle &#8212; a company that never becomes a household name but runs smoothly enough that it can provide a good livelihood and value to its customers. Even then, though, you\u2019re looking at a lot of time, energy and other resources that will go into making it.<\/p>\n<p>This is the point where you might want to stop and ask yourself: is it really worth it?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry if that seems too complex a question to answer right away. It might make better sense to think through some other questions instead &#8212; issues that will inevitably define the journey you take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/blog\/2016\/09\/turn-passion-into-start-up\">as an entrepreneur<\/a>, and which will test whether you have what it takes to overcome some of the obstacles that come up along the way. <\/p>\n<h2>1. What\u2019s my MVP? <\/h2>\n<p>The concept of a \u201cminimum viable product,\u201d or MVP, has become deeply entrenched in startup culture that it may lack a universally understood definition. To most experts, though, it probably refers to having an offering that\u2019s real enough you can test the waters with potential customers, investors and even other people you want to join your team. An MVP should not only teach you about whether your idea is any good, but whether you can turn the product or service into something you can mass-produce or offer to a large volume of customers. <\/p>\n<h2>2. Do I have product-market fit? <\/h2>\n<p>Some products can be well-designed, easy to use and still fail to find enough buyers willing to open their wallets. It might be a matter of pricing the product according to what the market can reasonably afford. Or, you might need to bundle the product with other things that will allow customers to be successful. Product-market fit might also be determined by how well what you\u2019re offering meets the specific pain points or challenges of customers of a certain size, within certain industries and so on.<\/p>\n<h2> 3. Should I do this on my own? <\/h2>\n<p>Lots of companies are launched not by a single entrepreneurs but by co-founders. One co-founder might be great at developing the product, for example, while the other has a good head for business development and operational kinds of tasks. Even if you\u2019re working with a partner, you might want to consider other resources, such as incubators and accelerator programs where you can learn from like-minded startups. <\/p>\n<h2>4. Can I sell this idea to investors? <\/h2>\n<p>Lots of organizations are interested in funding startups, from traditional financial institutions like banks to major programs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/company\/ventures\/\">Salesforce Ventures<\/a>, independent venture capitalists, and even angel investors. All of these groups might have different interests or requirements, so you\u2019ll want to do your research beforehand. <\/p>\n<h2>5. Do I have any advisors or mentors? <\/h2>\n<p>Many of the most successful entrepreneurs will cultivate an inner circle of more seasoned business professionals who will sit on their board, make introductions to other helpful people or even act as an informal sounding board as ideas are taken from conception to launch. It pays to have second, third or even fourth opinions based on hard-won expertise. <\/p>\n<h2>6. What\u2019s this startup\u2019s purpose? <\/h2>\n<p>Great businesses offer more than products or services that meet a need. They see themselves as addressing fundamental problems in industries or even society at large. You don\u2019t have to walk around saying your business will change the world, but having a deeper sense of purpose will help define your brand and even some of your decisions once you launch. <\/p>\n<h2>7. Is this a side hustle or a great leap? <\/h2>\n<p>You may have an idea good enough that you secure funding right away, allowing you to quit your full-time job and devote yourself entirely to making your startup work. Or, you might have to wait awhile, developing the business in your spare time while continuing to earn money to make ends meet. Many people have these \u201cside hustles,\u201d and even if you need to fall back on your day job, you\u2019ll learn a lot and feel fulfilled pursuing a passion project. <\/p>\n<h2>8. How would running this business look like in real life? <\/h2>\n<p>Always stay one step ahead by imagining your day-to-day life post-launch. You\u2019ll need to prospect for customers and grow your share of business within existing ones. You\u2019ll need to continually build your brand. Questions and complaints from customers will be non-stop. The technology is there to help you, but it might be best to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/products\/sales-cloud\">customer relationship management (CRM)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/products\/marketing-cloud\">marketing automation<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/products\/service-cloud\">customer service tools<\/a> sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n<h2>9. What\u2019s my ideal customer profile? <\/h2>\n<p>The concept of an ideal customer profile, or IDP, is designed to help think through the personas of the people who will buy your products and services. The better you can think about what they look like, sound like and even think like, the better you\u2019ll be able to create an experience they won\u2019t be able to resist. Investors and other key stakeholders may want to know about your IDP too.<\/p>\n<h2> 10. What\u2019s my exit strategy? <\/h2>\n<p>Do you see this startup growing and growing until it becomes a household name? Will you eventually want to sell it off to a rival, or hope to be acquired by a third party? This may seem premature to think about, but seasoned entrepreneurs will tell you it is all part of having an effective game plan.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be discouraged if you don\u2019t know how you\u2019d respond to all these questions right away. Start thinking about them now &#8212; and as you do, you\u2019ll be closer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/blog\/2016\/07\/5-steps-to-introduce-your-new-company\">launching a startup<\/a> that has a real chance of turning into an industry success story.<\/p>\n<p><a adhocenable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/form\/blog\/crm-grow-business.jsp?d=7010M000002MONe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/10\/sf-cta-crm-helps-business-grow.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"CRM success series: How a CRM helps your business grow.
