Over the past 10 years, the "growth at all costs" mindset has been the norm. Build, build more, build better, build at all costs. Just get growing.
Today, business growth looks dramatically different. With a variety of factors at play, from a tumultuous global economy to businesses shifting how and where they work, the growth over all else mindset is officially over. In its place is a more strategic, calculated shift to growth, where businesses are doubling down on sustainable paths to growth, such as long-term customer loyalty, and profitability.
In our annual Growth Report, Twilio Segment surveyed leaders from across industries about what this shift means for the future of doing business. Here are our top takeaways about what growing as a business means today.
Key findings
Buckle up. With volatility in the global economy, companies have realized that a growth-at-all-costs mindset is neither efficient nor scalable, and have refocused their workforce, budgets, and business strategy around efficiency.
Say goodbye to the bells and whistles of the growth era. Companies are now leaning into their bottom line by focusing on what works today to support any volatility tomorrow.
As business budgets decline, marketing departments will need to be thoughtful and creative about what technology they use and how they maximize existing budgets for new campaigns.
Is this product really delivering ROI? Can we maximize success with technology that delivers on multiple business goals? As businesses begin to streamline their technology adoption, these are the hard questions companies are asking themselves.
While some experimentation is still happening, most businesses are leaning into tried and true channels like email to grow revenue.
So how can businesses continue to grow amid a turbulent market? By leaning into technology that helps them understand buyer behavior, improve marketing performance, and deliver hyper-personalized experiences.
As customer engagement continues to be paramount to business success, investing in technology that both collects and analyzes customer data will be essential in helping businesses continue to grow.
