 Looking After Your Customers- 12 June, 5:30 to 7:00pm
 
Successful businesses are in touch with their customers and understand what they're really buying.

Customer service is the most easily overlooked and often neglected strategy in business. Most businesses have what they think is a customer service strategy, but in reality the strategy created is to meet the minimum expectations of the customer. A customer service strategy should and can do much more than that, for both the customer and the business.  

When looking at the future success of you business, consider:

  • What products and services you offer
  • What customers you target
  • What your organisational structure needs to look like
  • What type of people to employ
  • What information systems you need to use to monitor what's going on in the business
  • What finance is required? Where will it come from? How much profit will be made?
  • What systems you need to employ to monitor and respond to change

If you want to:

  • Attract more customers
  • Get them to come back more often
  • Get them to spend more each time they make a purchase
  • Get them to recommend you to their friends and associates

Then this is the right presentation for you! Register below or call us for more information.

Looking After Your Team- 14 August, 5:30 - 7:00pm

According to a recent Australian study:

        - 20% of the Australian workforce in engaged - personally committed to the success of their employer
        - 60% are diengaged - this is alarming.
        - 20% are actively disengaged - proactively undermining their employer

Come to this briefing if you want to:

        - Give your business the 'people perspective' and get the most out of your employees. 
        - Learn new strategies to inspire, support and invest in the people who work for you and let them do the same for you
        - Develop new strategies to measure results, KPI's and reward systems.
        - Make your business a happier and more productive place to work - for everyone!

Getting Your Internal Systems Right-9 October, 5:30 - 7:00pm

Make your business run more smoothly by taking a close and critical look at internal systems and processes. Learn how to:

        - Calculate the net value of a process. Not all systems add value to a business and many businesses 
           waste effort and costs with unnecessary processes.
        - Can specific processes be redesigned to lower the cost of production?
        - What additional processes can be introduced to improve the way products and services are sold and give
           you a competitive edge?

Good systems:

        - Mean you don't have to be there all the time,
        - Make it easier to sell your business by improving the sale value by up to 87% compared to a non-
          systemised business,
        - Free your time to work 'on' your business rather than 'in' it.
