The Carnival Of Business Growth Strategies - Featuring Guest Tiffani Bova

Get smarter about building your company’s future. Shep Hyken sits down with Tiffani Bova, the global growth and innovation evangelist at Salesforce. They discussed her new book Growth IQ, what the carnival can teach you about business, and the 10 simple paths of business growth. TOP TAKEAWAYS: •While growing up in Hawaii, Tiffani worked in a roaming carnival. She learned many valuable lessons about business such as hiring, firing, employee motivation, and customer experience. •According to Tiffani, you can boil down business growth to ten paths. Successful companies are able to maximize at least one of these ten growth paths. •Growth comes down to three things: 1. The context of the market in which someone chose a particular path. 2. The combination of what they did around multiple growth paths. 3. The sequence of how they actually did those things. Context, combination, and sequence make or break the decisions companies make. •By making decisions that lean towards customer experience and radical hospitality, companies like Shake Shack are able to differentiate themselves from the competition. •Starbucks suffered a brand crisis when they overwhelmed their customers by expanding too fast and adding many items to their menu that weren’t congruent with their main offering. They brought back CEO Howard Schultz to course-correct by returning to the customer experience path. •Businesses play a huge role in society. They should choose to do well by doing good, putting  purpose over profit, and becoming better stewards of the people in the world.
