The old puzzle: “I need more sales,  I can’t afford to advertise but I can’t watch my business die!”

Major stress! One symptom is difficulty in creating ways to improve things. So let’s simplify that task – we’ll get systematic and identify lots of small, cheap and quick things you can do.

We will start from the customer’s experience of buying products or services like yours, and feed that information back into your Customer-Attracting Pathway to improve it.

Every Step On Your Customer-Attracting Pathway Must Work Hard

Most businesses already have 12 steps in their Pathway – from Advertising to Client Retention. Let’s work through these steps so everyone attending finds missing steps, steps they need to improve and ways to redesign each step to lead customers on to the next step more effectively.

With next-to-no-money to spend, we’ll put the steps into priority order for fixing, work out what you can do for free and plan which steps you could spend on when you’ve got some spare funds.

Time is a fluid commodity but how we used it, how much we value it and how we spend it can make a break not just our own life but our business too! So this course will look at three important areas: how effectively or not we mage time and what can we can correct or improve what we are doing understanding the four key aspects of time in business. We will also look at how you spend your time suggesting practical ways to improve our productivity and efficiency in our business activities. Finally we will look at how you value your time when it comes for instance to give it a price and how your time is reflected in the costings, both internal and external, of your business. This course is provided by Alex Tana Coaching.
