Attracting new customers
COACHING SESSION | $225
In today’s global marketplace, small businesses face competition like never before. You’re no longer just competing with local or even interstate businesses – often, you’ll be battling against global brands with limitless resources.
But with challenge comes opportunity: if you can tap into just a fraction of your total available market, you can truly take your business to the next level.
Your ‘Attracting New Customers’ coaching session will focus on marketing and sales strategies, actions and tools that you can use right now to get the attention of more prospects and convert them into customers.
Keeping existing customers
COACHING SESSION | $225
First and foremost, you need to focus on keeping existing customers happy (especially those you most highly value) so they stay loyal and keep spending with you. It’s no use chasing new customers if you can’t retain the customers you already have.
Your ‘Keeping Existing Customers’ coaching session will provide practical and proven strategies, actions and tools across the sales, fulfilment and relationship management functions of your business. You can implement these insights straight away to keep current customers coming back and to increase purchase frequency and/or average sale size.
Improving cashflow and finances
COACHING SESSION | $225
COVID-19 has only reinforced that cashflow is the lifeblood of a small business. Offering exceptional goods or service is no use if you can’t pay staff, rent or your other obligations.
Regardless of your industry or situation, there are financial fundamentals that will help you plan and manage your income and expenses to help you not just survive, but thrive.
Your ‘Improving cashflow and finances’ coaching session will focus on the sales and operational functions of your business to help you manage your incomings and outgoings, get paid sooner, plan ahead for significant outlays, and build up a cash buffer to protect you from unexpected events. You’ll get strategies, actions and tools that you can use right now to generate greater cashflow in the short and long term.
Improving online strategy
COACHING SESSION | $225
Regardless of your product, service, industry or size, your business needs to have an online presence in the digital age. If potential customers can’t find, speak to or order from you in their preferred method, they’ll find someone who they can.
The good news? While it can feel overwhelming for busy business owners to develop an online presence, once you have a plan, some tools and a little education, it’s much easier (and cost-effective) than you think.
Your ‘Improving online strategy’ coaching session will provide practical strategies, actions and tools that you can use right now to help prospects find, engage and transact with you online.
