The 4 Ways To Grow Your Business webinar

Date: 2010-08-26 Time: 01:00 – 02:00

It may sound a little simplistic, but there are really only 4 fundamental ways to successfully grow your business-in other words, make it more valuable:

  1. Increase the number of customers of the type you want to have
  2. Increase the number of times customers come back
  3. Increase the average value of each sale
  4. Increase the effectiveness of each process in the business

This topic looks at some of the key strategies within each of these 4 ways that you can use to make your business more valueable. It also looks at how they should be used synergistically in order to capture the greatest value and not miss out on opportunities to grow the business.

Building A Winning Team webinar

Date: 2010-08-19 Time: 03:00 – 04:00

What business owner at some time hasn’t despaired of ever freeing themselves from constantly having to think for their employees? Who hasn’t wished they had people who could work more cooperatively to sort out things for themselves and come up with effective solutions? Maybe to even be feeding ideas back into the business about how to improve things?

To get people operating this way you need to turn your group into a team. And to do that you need to know how to build a business culture that will encourage teamwork to happen. But that’s only part of the story – the leader has to know the skills that will maintain team morale.

This BGR covers how to build a team in a small business by looking at how to introduce structures to promote teamwork and discussing the leadership skills needed to keep a team together.

Managing Your Cash Flow Webinar

Date: 2010-07-29 Time: 01:00 – 02:00

Cash flow is a key indicator of a business’ financial health. Knowing how to maintain a healthy cash flow is essential to a successful business.

But managing cash flow is one the most difficult challenges facing owners of SMEs and an unplanned drop can put them out of business even as demand for their products or services is growing, or as they are about to turn the corner of a downturn.

Properly managing cash flow is a matter of both good overall planning and effective use of cash flow strategies. This BGR explains the importance of cash flow management, the need to develop cash flow forecasts that track the inflows and outflows of cash, and the reasons why it should be regularly updated.

The Business Plan – Roadmap to Success webinar

The Business Plan – Roadmap to Success Most business don’t plan to fail – they simply fail to plan

A well developed business plan helps an owner/manager to focus on future business success and assists them in harnessing all the necessary resources to achieve that success.

It is a well documented observation that most businesses do not plan to fail – they simply fail to plan.  Having the ‘hows and whys’ of their business documented provides a powerful focus to help them achieve success.  It also provides a monitoring tool to measure progress towards goals.

A further importance is that banks, governments and business partners are increasingly requiring business plans to support their decisions relating to lending and providing financial assistance.

Accountants and business advisers are not only the natural partners to assist business owners to create their plan but also the best people to work with them in ongoing implementation, the creating of financial forecasts and the monitoring/reporting of results.

Preceived Indifference Disease, Are Your Clients Suffering From It?

Date: 2010-1-27 Time: 11:15 am – 1:00pm

Location:  LeHigh Restaurant, 4835 W Henrietta Rd, Rochester

NAWBO Power Lunch Presenter, Vicki M James, Marketing Manager

Most business owners will say that their customers’ key concern is price – that customers will only buy if the price is right – and in fact actually inquire about price first before anything else. However research continually shows that the single most common reason a customer leaves a business for a competitor is Perceived Indifference. Which is when customers have the impression that you couldn’t care less if they buy from you or not. Almost 7 out of 10 of the customers you lose walk away because they feel you are indifferent towards them. They felt that you didn’t care enough, didn’t take time for them, and really didn’t make a difference. This topic looks at how much perceived indifference could be costing your business. It reviews the 19-point checklist of common areas where perceived indifference occurs and discusses ways these can be improved.

Free to NAWBO members, $5 for non-NAWBO members – separate checks available for your lunch
