Here is part one of How To Grow Your Business - 1

Introduction

You can only develop products and services that are very effective if you pay attention to the needs of your customers and prospects. One way to understand exactly what your customers want is through research and surveys.

8. Create a sales funnel

The first way to grow your business faster is by creating a sales funnel. If you do not have a sales funnel, you are making a big mistake. Sales funnels can help automate your business.

It helps you grow and grow quickly and easily. Sure, there are some front-end functions involved. Is natural. But, once those processes are suspended, they will travel easily from there.

9. Use a customer management system

Manually tracking transactions is difficult. No one wants to do that. It becomes a burden as the business grows. If you want to scale quickly, use a customer management system.

10. Competition research

When going to the market, and you are really looking to get your offer out to the public, you need to research the competition. Frasier says he uses two platforms to do his own research. The first is the same web.

11. Create a customer loyalty program

Loyalty programs are the best way to increase sales. It costs three times more to acquire new customers than to sell something to an existing customer.

Other resources pin this number anywhere from four to 10 times more. However, whichever way you cut it, getting new customers is expensive.

12. Identify new opportunities

Analyze new opportunities in your business by better understanding your demographics. Understand everything from distribution channels to your direct competitors, and also analyze overseas markets and other potential industries.

With the right amount of potential analysis, you are likely to immediately pursue dozens of new opportunities.

13. Create an email list

One of the best and most effective ways to grow a business quickly is to create an email list. Clearly, that means you need to have a lead magnet.

14. Think of the franchise model.

If you have a successful business, and you are trying to grow really fast, consider franchising it. Although franchise costs are high and moving towards a franchise model is complex and it takes a lot in marketing, how can it all make a difference if you are looking for really fast growth.

Livewire is a very awesome thing that I have ever seen, the old school developers are still using the jquery and ajax concept to not refresh the page. But forget the jquery and ajax stuff. If you are good at PHP then you can do the same with Laravel Livewire.

Wait what?

Load dynamic data on the page without using ajax? Yes, it is possible with Laravel Livewire. So that is all about laravel livewire, and in this tutorial, we will see how to build laravel pagination with laravel livewire.

Let's start and I hope you have already set up the livewire. Let's say you already have created a component named UsersListing Now in the users listing, we want to paginate all users and we will list 10 records per page.

How to use pagination with Laravel Livewire

Livewire provides a trait called WithPagination and you have to add it into your component UsersListing. Check out the following code:

use Livewire\WithPagination; 
use Livewire\Component; 
class UsersListing extends Component 
{ 
   use WithPagination;

   public function render() 
     { 
       return view('livewire.users.index', [ 'users' => User::paginate(10), ]); 
     } 
} 

And to load pagination you have to add the following code:

@foreach ($users as $user) ... 

@endforeach {{ $users->links() }} 

That's it, and your laravel pagination now works like charm without page refresh. There is much more about pagination like how to use it with a custom view, how to use it with a custom theme. We will see it in our next tutorial, until then enjoy the code

Introduction

Increasing customer loyalty is a requirement of any organization. If a recurring project is found, the organization develops. Do not require to generate new leads. The cycle of the company runs from the existing customer and scales the company.

1. Keep in touch

Keep in touch with each client every few months to make sure everything goes smoothly. During a class or meeting, ask about your client's challenges. Issues you can resolve. They are more likely to turn to you when they need you.

2. Create high-quality software

One of the best ways to keep customers coming back is to always develop high-quality software. You can do this by meeting the expectations of your customers and also by making sure that they are satisfied with your work. Help your customers save money and get rid of waste, ultimately deliver huge profits for them, and possibly do more business for you.

3. Listen carefully when your customers are speaking to you

Try to give your customers your undivided attention. Multi-tasking is often. When customers are in front of you, make eye contact.

4. Collaborate with clients

To ensure quality in the software you develop and keep your customers happy, you should encourage collaboration with your clients. Meet with them and ask questions so you can fully understand use cases for the software you are developing. Bring new ideas to make suggestions on how to make improvements.

5. Demonstrate time management skills

Tracking time is also key to the success of a project, you should be able to provide detailed reports to your clients for the time spent on their particular projects. They’ll be more likely to hire you again if they see you’re organized and working efficiently.

6. Keep your promises to your customers

When you tell your customer you are going to do something, follow-up as quickly as possible. Given the time frames and honor them.

7. Don’t waste your customers’ time

Everyone is busy. Complicated voice mail systems, making customers repeat their service requests more than once and un-knowledgeable employees are some major time-wasters. A customer’s time is as important as your time!

8. Ask your customers what they want

Constantly ask your customers what you can do for them and how you can do it better. They want extended hours, academic classes, or the ability to talk to the manager. After you ask, try to give them what they want and keep them informed of the process along the way.

We will see more points in our next tutorial.

Recently in one of our client's projects, we want to load the count of relation in laravel. But we do not want to retrieve original records.

For example,

We have the following Models,

1. Category
2. Products
3. Orders

For that, we have categories, products, orders, order_items table. Where in the order_items table, we got the following fields

• order_id
• product_id
• quantity

So the requirement was, In the Products table, we want to display the total number of orders placed with that item regardless of the quantity in each order. All we need is a number of orders where the product is purchased.

1st way: Query via Relationship

$products = Product::all(); 
$productsArr = $products->map(function (Product $product) 
{     
     $productObj = $product->toArray();     
     $productObj['orders_count'] = $product->orders()->count();     
     return $productObj; 
   }
);

But the problem with this approach was, we are firing queries to the database for every single product. so if I'm retrieving 100 Products from the database then it will fire 100 additional queries to the database. Imagine if we have thousands of products.

2nd way: Eager Load Relationship and Calculate Count

$products = Product::with('orders')->get(); 
$productsArr = $products->map(function (Product $product) 
{
     $productObj = $product->toArray();
     $productObj['orders_count'] = $product->orders->count();
     return $productObj; 
   }
);

so this way, we are only firing two queries to the database. But the problem here is, we are loading all the Orders of each product which we don't need at all. so it will consume lots of memory since we are loading lots of orders. so imaging if we retrieve 100 products, and each product has 10 orders, then we are loading 1000 Orders into memory without any need.

3rd way: Use withCount function

The third powerful approach of using withCount function in Laravel. so we refactored our code like,

$products = Product::withCount('orders')->get();
$productsArr = $products->map(function (Product $product) 
{     
    $productObj = $product->toArray();
    $productObj['orders_count'] = $product ->getAttribute('orders_count');     
    return $productObj; 
    }
);

In this approach, we are firing two queries but no Order models are loaded into memory.

4th Bonus: Using in a nested relationship while multiple eager loading

You can even use it with nested relationships. Imagine a case, where you want to retrieve categories along with its products with orders count.

    $categories = Category::with(['products' => function ($query)
    {
        $query->withCount('orders');
    },
        'someOtherEagerLoading1',
        'someOtherEagerLoading2'
    ])->get();
    $categoriesArr = $categories->map(function (Category $category)
    {
        $categoryObj = $category->toArray();
        $categoryObj['products'] = $category->products->map(function (Product $product)
        {
            $productObj = $product->toArray();
            $productObj['orders_count'] = $product ->getAttribute('orders_count');
            return $productObj;
        });
        return $categoryObj;
    });

Hope this will help you to retrieve the count of relationship data without retrieving actual relation data.

Recently, we were working on a laravel app where we have a status column in multiple models. We have multiple processes going on for which we have different jobs.

Initially job status will be "Pending", then each job will take one record, change the status to "Running" and process that record, and update the status to either "Completed" or "Failed".

We have constants for each status. Something like below,

static $STATUS_PENDING = 0; 
static $STATUS_RUNNING = 1; 
static $STATUS_COMPLETED = 2; 
static $STATUS_FAILED = 3;

And the problem is, we need to go and define the status in every model that we have (around 10+ models).

Then we have functions to update status and check the status in each model like,

public function markRunning($saveRecord = true) 
{     
    $this->status = static::$STATUS_RUNNING;
    if ($saveRecord) {
        $this->save();
    }
}

public function isRunning()
{
    return $this->status === static::$STATUS_RUNNING;
}

And above functions existed for each 4 status. So what we did is, we created a common StatusTrait which can be used across multiple models.

Here is the code of StatusTrait that you can find for that.

Then in each model, we use this trait. For e.g.,

class SavePdf extends Model 
{     
    use StatusTrait;
    .....
}

And then can use any method of trait in all the models,

... 
$savePdf = new SavePdf(); 
$savePdf->markRunning(); 
...

Or we can check if the status of the model is running or not. For e.g.,

... 
if ($savePdf->isRunning()) 
{     
    // logic here 
} 
...

This is how we have saved tons of writing code and optimized the code. Another advantage is, we can just update the value of any status from one single place.

You can also check this kind of pattern and do something like this.
