Small Business Growth

Everyone wants to improve their business results but do you have any idea where you stand now?


1 - track your financial numbers - revenue and expenses
2 - track your marketing and sales numbers - how many incoming calls, how many closed deals, how many new business cards, how many call out.....track everything so you know what works and what does not work
3 - do the math
How many proposals / sales pitches do you need to do to get one client?
How many phone calls do you make to get one sales pitch opportunity?
How many voicemails do you leave to get talking to one live body?
How many new business cards / contacts do you need?
4 - your action plan goes backwards
Each day I need to make 15 outgoing phone calls.
I need 3 coffee meetings a week.
I need 2 sales pitches a week.
5 - block your time
If you need to make 15 calls and have a meeting every day plus do the work -- schedule your time.


To create a marketing action plan or a business plan for your business - call Cheryl Rankin (business consultant), Fit For Business at 647-287-0320.

help you increase your sales!

help you connect to your target market!

Sales tip - listen to your prospect.  What is their problem?  You will have a tough time selling them something if you are guessing what their problem is.  If you do not have children, I could be the best salesman in the world but I will have a really tough time selling you diapers. 

 

This workshop will help you get sales by teaching you how to help your client buy.  You do not sell anything and your results go up.

Marketing Plan

Most businesses owners jump into business without a business plan which is not a great idea. Even worse is the number of business owners with no marketing plan.

No clients = no business

How do you plan to get clients?
How much is a new client worth to you?
How long does it take to get a new client?
How do you find your potential clients?
How do you get the attention of potential clients?
How do your potential clients make decisions on the purchase of products and services?
How do you get clients to buy from you again?
How do you figure out what to charge clients?

If you can answer all of these questions, then you have most of your marketing plan done. Congratulations!

If you can not answer all of these questions then check out the next two Fit For Business workshops -
