Successful Entrepreneurs - Know How to Grow Your Business, but Need a Push?

Successful Entrepreneurs - Know How to Grow Your Business, but Need a Push?

We tell business owners,

"There is no one more experienced than you are about operating your business. You know your industry, your products, your competitors and your company. You already know what you need to know about your business to make it succeed."

Then we ask this one key question:

"Are you doing what you know you need to do to maximize your opportunities?"

We frequently find that owners aren't doing what they need to do to move their company to the next level of growth ...

and they know it.

There are all kinds of reasons given, from not having the capital, to not having qualified staff or time to focus on new directions. All too often, two other factors are operating:

  • They are numbed by having so many options that the "right" decision is elusive.
  • They need a "push" from an objective third party outside the company.

These obstacles can be overcome with the subtle approaches, and we find that when we remove the blocks, the way is clear to get the business on track. When companies hire us to bring new vision, ideas, strategies and solutions to their businesses, we get results by asking questions that lead to the best answers; then, right steps can then be implemented. For instance:

  • We helped one business owner get a $250,000 line of credit from his existing bank who had turned him down many times.
  • During a recession, we implemented a marketing program that had customers lined up to buy.
  • Despite a declining market, we helped a business owner sell his business and walk away with over a million dollar profit.
  • We turned around a franchise company where only two franchises were making money; one year later 90% were making money. We did this by teaching the franchisees the key elements of sales and marketing to local prospects.
We often hear from our clients, "We should have been doing these things all along." Proving, of course, that most entrepreneurs already know the answers. They simply need a subtle push in the right direction from their valued advisors.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
