Essential E-commerce Processes For Growing Your Business

Every Shopify store owner struggles with juggling a million job descriptions everyday, from new customer acquisition, marketing, service / product delivery, accounting, human resource management and the rest. There is no “secret sauce” that will fix an entrepreneur’s need for knowing his business inside and out. One key, however, to every successful businesses are Processes (aka: To-Do’s, Procedures, Documentation, etc)

For those fortunate entrepreneurs who jumped into a business without any corporate or prior knowledge (first off: Congratulations), a “Process Document” is a written document that is used as a guide to ensure a level of quality is maintained within a product or service delivered to a customer. They can either be short or long, pure text-based or with images, can require previous skills or not previous skills, and they are a great point of reference to remove mistakes from any business.
