Our fees are normally based on an hourly rate or a monthly retainer. However we can also offer a reduced hourly rate with a performance related bonus. This can reduce the cash flow requirements until key business milestones have been reached.
Our services are tailored to each client’s needs. In order for us to gain a better understanding of your needs we offer a free consultation which includes a free business assessment to ensure that you receive the best consulting package for your budget.
Our approach will be tailored to your needs, but in essence will follow this structure:
We strongly believe in long term partnership. That's why even after our assignment we will stay in touch with you on a regular basis to follow up on your progress and further coach you with any relevant issues at no charge.
Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance: It's an old saying but the key to long term growth and profitability lies in the preparation & planning stage. It is imperative you define where you are going and how you are going to get there. After you know that, you should measure the results to see how you are doing against your projections. A plan should be reviewed regularly and adjusted, where necessary, to ensure it is still relevant to your goals.
Initial Assessment: during this stage, we will have a meeting to understand the key drivers of the business and your objectives. The output from this will be a 1-3 page summary of the key issues of the business and a high level action plan. See sample
Developing the Plan & Setting the Budget: during this stage, we will partner with you to prepare a plan and determine the best cost structure to get your business objectives realised in the most efficient way.
Execution of the Plan: You can have a good plan, but unless you do something with it, it remains just that - a plan. Through regular management meetings we will help you track and monitor your progress against the plan, make amendments and reassess priorities...
You can't manage what you don't measure: Key performance indicators & benchmarks will be developed and visualised in the form of graphs, where possible, to help you see at a glance how your business is doing. This allows you to influence your business in all areas.
Optimising the productivity of your sales force: We can also help you implement Customer Relationship Management (CRM), maximising the business opportunities with existing and future customers.
Managing Performance: From time to time, it is important that you take a step back from day-to-day operations and review both where you against the plan and your own performance and leadership in achieving your goals & profitability.
Thought Leadership & Coaching: We provide thought leadership and coaching throughout the entire length of our involvement, typically by holding offsite meetings with the key stakeholders. During these meetings, we will assess together how well every aspect of the business is progressing including the behaviours that drove positive outcomes and those that did not. Also, we will review how well the objectives are being met and what adjustments are necessary, if any.
Company Brand & Positioning: What makes you different from your competitors? How you answer this should be embedded in everything you do and dictate your culture. We can help make your brand unique through competition analysis, customer needs analysis and anticipating market trends to establish the product or service postioning accordingly.
