Here are a few common questions from small business owners.
I work with local small business owners who want to fix problems, grow sales, improve marketing, increase profits, or get a clearer plan for moving forward.
I can help many types of local small businesses, including service businesses, trades, retail businesses, local professionals, family-owned companies, and owner-operated businesses.
I offer several types of payment plans. Each is customized to the business based on what level of service you want and how you want the consulting to be delivered. Generally speaking there is a small monthly retainer that starts at $250/mth. This all depends on what type of service you need & how you want the consulting to be delivered.
The focus is on practical action. I help identify the problem, create the plan, and guide the implementation process. I can be as involved in the implementation as you wish or I can just provide the plan. Whichever you prefer.
My experience includes over 18 years in franchising and small business ownership,
giving me a broad view of sales, systems, growth, operations, and business strategy.
Franchising is all about Systems & Processes and while you may not be a Franchise, I am able to use all of the information that I learned over those 18 years to help implement systems into your business that work.
