I opened a store, but my business is not good, and I can't transfer it, so I'm losing money. What should I do? I suggest that in this case, you'd better give up your store as soon as possible. You are wasting not only your money cost, but also your time cost.
Your situation is very similar to my first business trip. I started my own business trip after I resigned from Jiangsu. Because I didn't know how to choose a location for my first business trip, I found a storefront downstairs in the living area of Foxconn employees. When I looked at the location, I saw that there was a lot of people at the door, so I thought I would have a good understanding after opening. From the next storefront to the decoration, from the decoration to the preparation of tables, chairs and tableware in the store, these things probably went through the same process. Business was good a few days before the opening, because the store was doing opening activities, and after the opening activities, the business in the store dropped sharply. Sometimes it didn't earn a few dollars a day, and sometimes the rent was not enough for one day.
At that time, I thought this situation should be improved, because Foxconn has a peak season every year, usually in July, August and September. I just sit in the store with a lucky attitude and wait for the peak season to arrive every day. During this period, I also posted the transfer information. If someone takes over this store, the cost I invested should be earned back. This wait is three months. I have been losing money every day for these three months. What I didn't expect was that Foxconn's peak season came. The business in my store really improved a little, but the daily income was just enough to pay the rent, and the store didn't transfer it out. When I wanted to renew the rent for another few months, my sister advised me that I couldn't go on like this even if I couldn't transfer it out. I was still very reluctant at that time, but I listened to my sister's advice and bought all the things in the store.
However, after transferring this store out, I feel relaxed. I don't have to worry about the transfer of the store, and I don't have to worry about whether the money I earn every day is enough to pay the rent. Now I think that the decision at that time was correct. Although the things in the store were sold at a loss, it also made me end my life of continuing to lose money and gave me more time to find another opportunity.
sometimes we must give up what we should give up in time, or we will be left with more burdens.
this situation is very similar to my time! I started a clothing stall, so did I in 2116. One or two months ago, my business was completely out of money. I was reluctant to go out and hoped to sell it in the first half of the New Year. During that time, I did make money, but the Chinese New Year was coming soon. I didn't open for half a month in the middle, and I paid half a month's rent for nothing. It was still a loss! I really couldn't do it anymore. When I came back after the New Year, I immediately found an intermediary to release it. One of them couldn't release 4 5 intermediaries, but no one took over. Later, I could only release the price several thousand lower than myself, and no one cared. The rent is due at the beginning of the month, and I'm going to run away. I don't want the deposit. Fortunately, someone came to ask and rented out the stall before paying the rent. Because my contract hasn't expired yet, the original price is not rented, so I can only make up thousands of dollars for the new stall owner every month, so there is still a little money left after the deposit is deducted, so I won't lose money. I'm still too big-hearted. I turned out the stall two months ago and saved two months' rent. Compared with the money I finally returned, it was a loss! So sometimes it is wise to stop loss in time. You can't expect to make a profit tomorrow. It's useless to stick to it in the wrong direction. Don't throw your cash back. Keep the remaining funds and find a better project and come back next time. In this case, you should quickly get rid of the products in your hand cheaply, and sell them out before the next rent payment, and don't need the deposit. Second, hurry up and find more intermediaries to sell, even if the price is lower than your own, you should rent it out. It's a little easy to get the deposit back. < P > It's easy to make an idea, but it's difficult to do business. Find out the reason and change the situation. If you can't continue to operate, then close down! There is so much money lost there, and if the small business continues to lose money, even the family will have no food to eat, and no one will do the business at a loss.
close the door! Go out and work for a few more years, so that you can have some money on hand and absorb more experience before opening a shop again!
my friend invested 211,111 yuan to open a special roast goose shop. In the past few years, the business was ok, and he earned more than 111,111 yuan every year. Last year, when the epidemic broke out, the business plummeted, making ends meet, and no one took over the transfer. It was really a dilemma.
In order to survive, I used to be a top-notch boss, regardless of the daily affairs of the store. Now, in order to save money, I dismiss all waiters and chefs, buy ingredients by myself, cook and cut vegetables and stir-fry, and my wife is responsible for serving dishes, cashier and cleaning. It is a typical couple's shop.
Reform the menu. In the past, it featured spicy goose, which was suitable for young people's tastes. Now, it adds light old goose soup, which is suitable for people of all ages for holiday parties, and the business has greatly improved. He also retails stewed goose feet, goose meat, goose neck, etc. Customers can have a drink in the store or buy them back to enjoy with their families.
from Monday to Thursday, business is quiet, and preferential activities are held. Anyone who comes to the store for consumption is given a 8.8% discount, and one bottle of beer is given away, which makes small profits but quick turnover and gathers popularity. There is really no business, so I can't be cold. I invite friends and relatives to taste new dishes. I feel that the store is full every day, attracting many passers-by.
I didn't expect that after all the expenses are removed every month, there will be more than 11,111 profits. I am full of joy and very gratified. He said that although he didn't make a lot of money, he turned losses into profits, which made him full of confidence and hope. It was worthwhile to suffer and be tired again, at least the family's daily living expenses were no problem.
the author thinks that all walks of life, especially the catering industry, are affected by the epidemic, and the competition is extremely fierce, and business is not good. As in the past, the days of being a top boss and lying down to make big money are gone. If a small shop invites several service industries and chefs, it will be grateful to be able to cope with the rent, water and electricity and the salary of employees.
At present, many small shops are mom-and-pop shops, sister shops and brother shops. They invest by themselves and do it by themselves, and they don't invite any outsiders, so they may be able to do business. If they invite people, they will probably do it for nothing. It is not shameful to work for yourself, to get up early in the morning in the dark, to work hard, and to earn money to support the family.
Nong Erdai, as the family says, don't spray it if you don't like it. Thank you!
I have opened a store, but my business is not good, and I can't transfer it. I have been losing money. What should I do? Because Tianjin embroidered mother has the experience of transferring stores when she is not doing business well. Let me answer your question first, and then share my experience with my friends to see if I can help you:
First. When business is bad, you already have the idea of transferring this store, and you are transferring it, and you are still losing money. My suggestion is to lower the transfer fee a little bit, or even get rid of it immediately if someone pays. In fact, on the surface, you are losing money. If you don't, you may lose more than the transfer fee after working for a few months, and you will continue to bear utilities, staff salaries and other expenses. I don't know what you do If you make clothes, the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be to handle when the clothes are over. If the catering business, the equipment and store decoration are aging, the less it will improve. If it continues to operate, the lost wages, coal, water and electricity will increase. In my personal experience, the closer to the expiration of the rent, the lower the transfer fee may be. I don't recommend sticking to your present situation. Because it is possible that you didn't do well in the initial stage of opening a store, such as social adjustment, project establishment, site selection and business model. Because direction is more important than hard work.
second, when opening a shop to do business, entrepreneurs should not only make money, but also have the ability to learn to turn losses and stop losses. When we can't turn losses into profits when opening a shop, what we do is to stop losses as soon as possible. Keep our losses to a minimum. The story of selling a company for one dollar is circulated in America. Through this story, it is not difficult to see the importance of stopping losses as soon as possible in business.
I have a friend who is also engaged in catering. In 2111, a 311-square-meter hotel was transferred and we were entrusted to find a new one. At that time, someone offered 1.2 million yuan, and my friend insisted on 1.5 million yuan. Not transferred out. This is getting closer and closer to the expiration of the house lease contract, and the transfer fee is falling, so there is no way to clinch a deal with the last 51 thousand yuan. Because there was no business at all in the next few months, there was no income, but instead, I paid a few more months' rent. Fortunately, he used this 51 thousand yuan and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan. He rented a few acres of land in the suburbs of Tianjin, built a factory building and started his own cable tray business. Now he's a big boss.
I have also experienced the experience of transferring stores when business is not good. It is also a restaurant transfer, and my husband and I have learned the experience and lessons of my friends. The transfer fee was pulled to the lowest point and soon transferred out at one time. I used this transfer fee to find a new location and facade, and made a small restaurant much smaller than before, which was successful.
I think people's life is dynamic and flows like water. Opportunity and success can only be realized in dynamics. Don't be bound by something, you must know how to be fickle in business, constantly adjust yourself, and minimize the loss of grandchildren.
I'm Xiuniang from Tianjin. I hope you can learn from my answer. Can be helpful to you.
my experience is the same as yours. my advice is to stop the loss in time, don't worry about the transfer fee, and deal with the goods in the store at a low price if it can be handled at a low price.
a few years ago, I started my first business, selling red wine. Originally, it was sold at home through connections and through Wechat business. At that time, business was quite good. Later, I didn't know what was wrong, so I thought about opening a shop and making more money.
Let's start. I took a fancy to a store with a transfer, which was remote, but close to home, so I asked the price. The transfer fee for an empty store was 22,111, but I didn't think it was very expensive. Now, let alone 22,111, I don't want it.
From then on, business was not good, because red wine was not a necessity, and it basically lost money every day, and it lasted for almost two years. Later, I didn't want to insist, so I was ready to transfer. Unexpectedly, there were many people asking, and the price was almost vomiting blood, ranging from 11111 to 5111.
later, I didn't want to transfer the 11111, but transferred the 6111. Why? Because I missed the opportunity. If you don't turn 6111, you may not get a cent, which means that you have no experience in doing business and lead to losses.
For those high-priced transfer fees, except for prime locations, only first-time business people will take the blame. As long-term business people know, transfer fees are a pit.
The subject's situation is very similar to mine. Get out quickly, and don't wait a day. It's nothing to lose face. Once you gain experience, there will be many opportunities in the future, and you will make a comeback.
in the era of shops blooming everywhere, e-commerce impact and economic downturn, this situation is not rare, and there are only three ways out.
first, change the door and reposition. Some friends are new to the industry, don't understand the rules and regulations of the industry, and start a business with enthusiasm, so there is a deviation in the location of the store. For example, near the Bell and Drum Tower in Xi 'an, people are crowded and land is precious, which is indeed the place to do business, but if you sell fresh products here, it will be a thousand miles away, and I am afraid it will be difficult for a few customers to patronize. This requires a change of course and repositioning, such as selling tourist souvenirs. The general law of site selection: Look at which industries around you are hot, and change and innovate on the basis of imitation.
second, improve management and wait for change. The era of "a good wine is not afraid of a deep alley" has long passed, and it is impossible to do anything overnight. It needs long-term accumulation, and many businesses, especially "old brands", are mostly made. It contains two meanings: one is to understand and re-recognize the industry and improve the management on this basis; The second is to cultivate and accumulate customers.
third, close the door and rest, and transfer at a loss. The above two points can't be done, only close the door and reduce losses. It is better to be able to transfer out at a loss during the period. If not, the contract can only be renewed after the expiration.
you started a business, and your business is not good, so you have been losing money? I believe many people will advise you to give up quickly and stop loss in time. What Wei Jun wants to say is, why not think more about how to live? The real reason for the loss
This seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult to self-examine. Business losses are just appearances, so why lose money? Is the product or service not good, or is the store remote and the surrounding residents have no spending power?
I remember such a true story not long ago.
The owner of a Taobao store usually doesn't care much about the store's affairs, and the store's affairs are all taken care of by a clerk. However, after half a year's audit, the business that had always felt good lost money. Finally, after careful investigation, it was found that the problem was the shop assistant. In order to please his girlfriend, the male shop assistant falsely reported the amount of various promotion expenses, merchant service fees, buyers' refunds, etc., and got 48,111 yuan from the boss ........ < P > In this case, the apparent reason for the "loss" of the store was that the shop assistant stole from the inside, but the essential reason was management problems.
why?
if the account amount falsely reported by the clerk at that time was not 48,111 yuan, but 28,111 yuan, 8,111 yuan or even 8,111 yuan, and the store's operating account could still maintain a surplus, would the boss of Ma Daha think of thoroughly examining the account?
Therefore, it is not the most terrible thing to lose money in business. The fear is that the real reason for failure has not been clarified, and it is simply attributed to bad luck or poor entrepreneurial environment.
once you find an excuse to be outspoken, you will hide the real reason for your failure. If you start a business again next time, your chances of failure are still high. The right medicine
If you can really find the crux of the problem, then the so-called right medicine is meaningful.
I don't know what kind of business you are talking about, but whether it's quality, service, price, competitive environment, marketing and promotion, everything will remain the same.
do you remember the story of Haier Zhang Ruimin smashing the refrigerator in the 1981s?
In those days, Haier was only an ordinary collective enterprise, and its reputation was not great. As the head of Haier, Zhang Ruimin once found a batch of refrigerators in stock had quality problems through user feedback, and ordered them to be smashed on the spot, and they would never flow to the market. This was undoubtedly a shock to ordinary people who still advocated thrift at that time.
Because of this story, many people remember Haier, leaving the impression that Haier refrigerator has strict quality requirements.
just think, at that time, domestic people liked imported refrigerators, but didn't approve of the quality and service of domestic refrigerators. If the quality problem is solved, are you still worried that customers will find it "expensive" and there will be no market? Strive for foreign aid
The so-called foreign aid refers to external aid. If you run a brand franchise store, I suggest you win the assistance of the manufacturer.
