You put in the hours, and you give everything to your business, but do you get back what you want?
We know first-hand that, taking into account the hours they work, many small business owners earn less than the national minimum wage. If you’re one of them, or you simply didn’t generate the income you wanted to in 2019, you need to do something different.
You could just carry on as you are and hope that things will improve, but if you do, there’s every chance that in 12 months’ time you’ll be exactly where you are now. Except that you’ll be another year older and even more frustrated!
So what action can you take that will result in higher profits?
You have two choices. You can either focus on reducing your costs or on increasing your sales.
The first option is likely to work only for the short term. You may find areas in your overheads and cost of sales where you can tighten things up. But you won’t be able to do this year on year, it will restrict your potential for growth, and it could leave you in an even more vulnerable position. Crucially, cutting costs won’t address the underlying problem that your sales are not sufficient.
The second option makes a lot more sense. Looking at what you can do to increase the value of your sales is a practical strategy that’s sustainable – and certainly a lot more fun!
Market Your Way to More Revenue in 2020!
If you’re determined to grow your sales revenue, you’ll need an effective marketing plan to underpin everything you do – one that incorporates the incredible potential of social media*.
To help you, we’re kickstarting our 2020 workshop programme with How to Build a Winning Marketing Plan for 2020. Presented by ActionCOACH and marketing expert Andrew Garland, it’s designed to equip you with all the knowledge and confidence you need to implement a transformational marketing plan in your business.
What Will You Learn?
This workshop will take the mystery out of marketing. Andrew will explain:
- Why turnover is vanity and profit is sanity
- Why focusing on profit is critical if you want to be reimbursed properly
- How to create a structured, targeted, measurable marketing plan that will bring in the business required to give you the profit you want
You’ll leave the workshop clear about the leads you need to generate, where they’re going to come from and how you’re going to get them.
Like all our workshops, How to Build a Winning Marketing Plan for 2020 will be fun and friendly. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, and you’ll have the opportunity to network with other local business owners.
Who Is It For?
This workshop is for owners of micro or small businesses who want to increase their net profit by attracting more customers. You don’t need to have any previous experience of marketing, and you don’t have to worry about understanding marketing terminology. This workshop will be free of marketing-speak and accessible to everyone.
