Recognizing weaknesses involves a critical look at the areas where your business is lacking or underperforming. Consider these questions:
1. Where Do We Lose Customers? Analyze the stages in the customer journey where you lose customers. High churn rates or negative feedback can highlight weak points.
2. What Are Competitors Doing Better? Conduct a competitive analysis to understand what competitors are excelling at that you are not. This can reveal gaps in your offerings or strategies.
3. What Are Our Operational Inefficiencies? Examine your internal processes to identify inefficiencies. Look for areas with high costs, slow turnaround times, or frequent errors.
