Business Growth and flexibility
Taking your business to the next level can be exciting if you have the right strategy to follow through the growth phase. It is a balancing act that needs you to focus on the growth trajectory, without taking your eye off the ball on keeping your current level of business stable.

Whether it is extending new services, expanding your business to new locations, targeting a new client base or simply growing your business by increasing volume, we ensure you not only have the strategy but also stay with you on the journey till you implement it and get the results. Growth is not just a game of numbers; what appears to be the right level of growth for a competitor may not be the right level for you. Growth is key but should not come at the cost of losing the flexibility of doing what you like doing best, serving your clients and giving them the personal attention and care you pride yourself on. More importantly, it should not come at the cost of your personal time. A key to managing both is having a system in place that is replicable but not rigid. Growing your business is about multiplying the results and dividing the efforts. What are you multiplying in your business to grow it and what responsibilities are being divided up to maintain flexibility? Get in touch with us to discuss putting a growth strategy in place that focuses on more than just numbers.

Marketing, Lead generation, Client retention and repeat business
It costs 5-7 times more to attract a new customer, than to retain an existing one – Bain & Co research.
We encourage clients to ‘Think lifetime Value, not onetime value’ to attract and retain clients.

Establishing a client retention and repeat business strategy is core to any business that is focussed on revenue growth. We help our clients move away from point in time solutions. For some businesses, the biggest challenge is generating leads – for others, it is about servicing leads. Yet another challenge is ensuring that the clients that you have served remain loyal to you and not only give you repeat business but also recommend your business. All three need to go hand in hand, if your business aspires to grow beyond its current level. Do you have a marketing strategy in place to address the marketing and lead generation aspects? You might be doing a great job as a technician, but so is your competitor. How do you ensure consistent ‘stand-out’ results each time, so the clients not only remain loyal but rave about your service? Get in touch with us to discuss putting a growth strategy in place that focuses on more than just numbers.

Focus on Business Plan, Goals and Vision
The most common answer than businesses have is either ‘No business plan’, ‘We did one to tick the box for getting our finance’ or ‘Yes, we did that at the beginning but things have changed, so we never actually implemented it.’

Planning and high performance go hand-in-hand. And all it takes is three simple steps – Set your goals, set the strategy to achieve these goals and implement the strategy. Simple as it sounds, it is often the most neglected of all the business aspects. Some of us are really good at goal setting, but it stops at that. Others struggle with the idea of looking too far into the future when we don’t quite know what tomorrow holds. However, what we focus on is what we get! It is crucial to set the vision right, have an action plan and then actually take action. We help you crystallise your vision, create a robust strategy and most importantly, help you focus on implementing it. We see you through the journey, to make sure you get to the destination.

Recruiting Staff Vs Doing it yourself
You are the entrepreneur-manager-technician, so more than likely there is no one senior enough to delegate to. Even if there is an assistant, you do not think they can shoulder responsibilities as your 2IC.

We also help you understand what skills would complement and match your requirements and how to on-board and motivate your staff, not just by pay rises, rather through accountability and responsibility.
