Doing Business in the New Age

The world is changing!  Global warming, suicide bombings and terrorism make it a frightening place.  On the other hand, longer life expectancy due to advances in medical technology, instant world-wide communication, the ability to travel to the Moon and other planets inspires and excites us.

 

How do these changes affect the way we do business? 

 

Our relationships with suppliers, clients and staff are shifting dramatically.  By understanding the nature of these changes we are in a better position to take advantage of them and ride the wave rather than be swamped by it.

Is Your Business Delivering?

Remember when you went into business?  Did you have a purpose in mind when you first began?  It may have been the promise of more income, the freedom to do be your own boss or to create a better lifestyle. Can you remember what it was?  If you can't remember why you went into business, then you may no longer have a business, but a job!

 

Laurence Harrould, business coach and corporate and personal astrologer, has created a unique presentation to discover whether your business is really delivering.

 

Is your business delivering in terms of your original purpose or goals and your lifestyle?

Is your business delivering the best bottom line?  Are you using the power of profit to its best advantage?

If you have staff, is your business delivering for them?   Are your people part of the solution or part of the problem? 

 

Regardless of whether you are a solopreneur, have a business or work for someone else, in this presentation you will learn how to re-connect with the purpose in your work and how to ensure your business delivers for you as well as your clients.

Powerful Communication

We all communicate.  However we often find that our message gets lost through confused language (verbal or body).  Have you ever come away from a confrontation thinking “that wasn’t what I intended” or “how did we get onto that”.

 

In his presentation Laurence will show you some very simple techniques that will help keep your conversations on track and ensure you achieve your objects whether they are business or personal.

 

#4

Sales Workshop

We all sell.  However, some people are more successful than others.  Often a salesperson will be concerned about the “close” before they have even found an “opening”.  Mal Emery has commented “People don’t buy from you because they understand.  They buy from you because they are understood.”

 

In this workshop you will:

• learn a number of simple techniques that will enable you to have more effective conversations,
• understand what motivates people to buy (whether it is an item or a service)
• be aware of your own “glass ceiling” – what is stopping you achieving your potential?

 

All workshop participants will receive a copy of the book “Secrets of Great Success Coaches Exposed!”

Low Budget Marketing Workshop

Does the question “What do you do?” make your knees tremble, your hands shake and your mind stop working?  If it does, you are not alone.  Many small business owners find they are “challenged” when it comes to getting their message across to others about what their business is.

 

Sales and marketing is an essential part of any business and yet we often find that people are hesitant about doing it.  And yet this can be a fun and exciting activity if understood and handled properly.

 

The other “challenge” is the idea that you need the marketing budget of a multinational corporation in order to make an impression.  This is definitely NOT the case.

 

In this workshop you will learn how to get your message across in a way that makes your audience sit up and pay attention and lets you have fun in the process.
