What are the common problems faced by small business owners?
Your business is not making enough profit and you have hit a wall:
You may think you know what to do, but do you really? If your business is not making enough profit, you might want to consider getting outside help to take a look at why your business is not achieving its full potential. A Business Coach can teach you effective methods to move your business to a healthier position.
You are not getting results from your marketing campaigns:
You can have a great product on offer, but perhaps the marketing dollars you’re spending or the direction your are targeting just don’t seem to be getting the results you need. A Business Coach can take a look at what you’re doing and help identify new ideas and methods to give your product or service higher visibility in the market. Business coaching can help you see how best to present your product and/or service and how to successfully target the right market segment.
You are unsure what is needed to take your business to the next level:
Sometimes business stall for what seems no apparent reason. It could be that the market has changed or a new competitor has come into the arena. A coach can take an objective look at what happening both inside and outside your business and guide you through the plateau and onto bigger and better results.
You’ve got new opportunities on offer, but you’re not sure what to do:
Opportunities are everywhere and it’s important that you focus on the right ones without being distracted by bright, shiny objects. Too often business owners listen to their well meaning friends or note how others have succeeded and try and apply that to their own business. A savvy and experienced Business Coach can help you evaluate the best opportunities for your business and help you work out which are the best business opportunities that come your way – and what to do with them.
You don’t know if you have the right people in your company or who else you need to hire or align yourself with:
People are the biggest asset a business has so it’s important that you hire the right ones. or if you are not in a position to hire, who to best delegate to or form an alliance with, until your business can support your own staff. As a new start-up or even growing a larger business, your aim will no doubt be to develop it into a bigger, better business and, to do that you need the right people. As an experienced manager, extended DISC consultant and trainer, I can help you decide who you need and even help you hire and train them.
