Date: 25 May 2021
Where: Online
Cost: Free
May 25 & May 26 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
This is where your business goes from good to great. You’re off the ground and starting to fly, but now it’s time to really hone in on your specialisms, your markets, and solve those challenges which have been building up in the background.
They say that life is what happens whilst you’re making other plans, and that’s the same in business. Often, you’ll have spent so long working in the business that you won’t have worked on the business for a while. That’s what our Growth Day is all about.
This online Growth course is held over two mornings:
Tuesday 25th May, 10am-1pm
Wednesday 26th May, 10am-1pm
Over the course of a full day, you’ll tackle the 4 challenges which always strike after a successful start.
Mission, Vision, Value: Defining the purpose of your business is what’s going to make it resonate with your staff and your customers. It’s what keeps your passion alive, and it’s your passion that keeps the business going.
Accountable Goal Setting: Start planning further ahead than what’s for dinner tonight. During this highly practical workshop, you’ll develop SMART objectives for up to 5 years ahead, helping you steer your ship in the right direction at all times. Equipped in this way, you’ll be able to properly prioritise, motivate and lead.
Sell Me This Pen: After a year or two of trading, the elevator pitch from your early days might not cut the mustard any more. To get those bigger clients and customers, and attract investment into your business, you need a powerful pitch that does all the heavy lifting in sales conversations.
Growing Strategically: There’s more than one way to skin a cat, or in this case, grow your business. Whether it’s location, franchise, diversification, new markets, funding, or a combination of all; having a strategy in place for growth is vital. Whether you’re pursuing monumental growth, or scaling to meet the needs of a growing market, this workshop will help you develop a plan to get you there.
This is an online course, held on Zoom. Get ready by Downloading Zoom to your computer. You’ll get an email to register and then a link to join the meeting. This online course involves exciting discussion, interaction, and practical activities with others in your shoes.
