Introducing your local business coach, Jo Richings What kind of business needs a business coach? Most businesses would benefit from a Business Coach, someone to look at your business from an outside perspective. Quite often we can be so close to our own business that we can’t see the wood from the trees and we don’t see some of the really obvious things that can be improved in our business
I find that many people start a business because they are great at a particular trade or job ie a plumber may start a plumbing business. Unfortunately just because they are a great plumber that doesn’t automatically qualify them to be a great business person.
So times goes on, the business grows and before you know it you are expected to know and understand how to run a successful business –how to drive sales, increase profits, produce fantastic marketing, sort out the advertising, VAT , payroll, and the list goes on.
And because by then you are have been in business for a while – and you are expected to know all of this it can be quite difficult to find the right person to help you move the business to the next level. And that is where I come in!
What kind of things do you work on?
I work with local companies who want to improve any aspect of their business: from increasing sales and profits, improving cashflow, marketing, implementing systems that will enable the business to run smoothly without them and also helping them to create great teams that will work as hard as they do.
We examine your strengths and weaknesses and look for opportunity to increase sales, profits and most importantly improve cashflow.
We then clarify what you are looking to achieve , set both short term and long term goals and devise our first 90 day plan.
And your coaching sessions are there to ensure you stay on track and you achieve those goals. I hold you accountable to do the things that you know you should be doing but don’t and I make sure that you have the relevant skills, knowledge and resources needed to complete your goals. So I become a coach, trusted advisor, sales manager, marketing manager, trainer and mentor all rolled into one!
What industries do you work in?
Our system is generic so it works in every industry that supplies goods or services to customers! You are the expert at what you do and I am the expert at what I do – by working together we achieve great results and synergy.
My clients come many different industries such as:
Manufacturing & Engineering
Restaurants, pubs, cafes and bakeries.
Surveyors, Architects and Planners
Estate agents and financial advisors
Film production
Business consultants and Business Coaches
Recruitment agencies
Haulage firms
Building industry – loft conversions, safety netting, kitchens, bathrooms
IT, Personalized Print
But I am only a small business! Isn’t coaching for bigger companies
My clients range from small teams of 3 to big corporate companies with teams of 100’s. How open minded you are and how much you want to improve your business is far more important that the size of your business.
It’s a difficult economy out there and we are trying to cut costs not increase them. How do I know this will work for me?
I offer a double guarantee. Firstly I offer a money back guarantee for the first month of coaching so you can see how we will work together. After that Action Coach offer a 17 week “find our fee” guarantee where we guarantee to find our fee within 17 weeks or we will coach you for free until we do. You really have nothing to lose.
Sounds interesting! What next?
So – if this sounds like something that you could be interested in, the next step would be for us to have chat to over the phone to find out what your key challenges are and what you would like to improve about your business.
Once we have done that and if we can both see the benefits of moving to the next stage we will arrange to get together for an initial complementary session. This is where we can both decide whether there would be value in us working together.
