Without further ado, let’s get started.

1. Research and Planning, the most important step for Gustavo Mirabal Castro

Analyze your business to see the benefits that can bring you to enter the Internet and what is the appropriate strategy to enter the Internet. In our video on How to digitize my business and join e-commerce we show you the multiple strategies to enter the internet. We recommend you look at it before continuing.

Additionally, we must analyze the scope of your business (local, regional or global) and investigate your target audience. It is important to understand what will be the best digital media to reach your customers.

This stage is fundamental for the success of the incorporation of your business to the Internet. In this phase you also define what they will be:

• Your digital media to be on the internet: Marketplaces, websites, social networks, etc.
• How will be the management of customers in each medium
• The digital marketing strategy and how to measure it.

For Gustavo Mirabal Castro, the research and planning phase is the most important. This helps us choose the most appropriate strategy for us. In addition, it makes our investment in the strategy more effective according to our objectives.

Having this evaluated we can move on to implement the first phase of our planning as we will see below.

2. Online presence:

With a defined entry strategy, we will have to move on to establishing the online presence of our business. Some of the options we have are:

• Simple website: This allows our customers to find us on the internet. There, we can account for the products and services we offer, and offer means of contact for our customers (WhatsApp, phone number, and others).
• Marketplace: If we want to sell our products or services on the internet, we can choose to publish them in a Marketplace. These are platforms that will allow us to sell our products without having to create a website. We will not need to install or develop means of payment and attention. These platforms provide us with the technology to sell and serve our customers online. On the other hand, we lose part of the control of our business and marketplaces charge us commissions.
• Online store: We can set up our own online store. Here we have more control, but we require expertise or dedicated staff to manage our store.
• Social networks: They can be used to sell directly or to make us known according to what we want. They do not cost anything in most cases, but the processes are manual within the business.

It will also be convenient to acquire an internet domain associated with the name of our company or our products. A domain is brand identity. An example of this is that Gustavo Mirabal Castro has the gustavomirabal.es domain to reflect the identity of his business in Spain.

3. Customer Management according to Gustavo Mirabal Castro

A Venezuelan saying that Gustavo Mirabal Castro likes very much is “the one who has a store that attends it.” This means that it is not enough to have a website or an online store, you need to attend it personally or have people for it.

We must establish what our channels of attention will be and who will be the people who attend them. It is not enough to have everyone aware of social networks, phones or emails. We must have procedures and responsible for selling and serving in our digital channels. Another Venezuelan saying goes “If everyone is responsible, no one is responsible.” The responsibility must be individualized and for this we must assign tasks to specific people or attend them personally.

In this phase we must also try to have easy, safe and reliable means of payment for our customers. If people are interested and have good attention, but it is difficult to pay, you will lose the sale.

We must analyze the available means of payment, their cost, and their ease of use for customers. In this way we will be able to close the largest number of transactions.
