Give Impressive Presentations
Do you quail at the thought of speaking before a group? Do you need to polish your existing skills? Then this course will definitely help you.
Just as you can’t learn to drive a car by just by listening to a lecture, the only way to improve your presentation skills is to get up there and do it, with a highly experienced presenter there to coach you. We limit workshops to around 12 people so that everyone has the opportunity to receive individual coaching. The course usually runs over three half-day sessions.
In the first session you learn the basic skills and give a 2-minute presentation. In the second, you learn more skills and techniques and give a prepared 5 -10 minute presentation. You will receive individual expert coaching, feedback from the other delegates and a video of your talk. In the third session you will re-present your last talk, putting the coaching you have received into effect and you will also receive a video tape of this talk. We have found, from experience, that it is in this third session that improvements become really apparent, and that time is needed between talks in order to work on the content and presentations. That is why we present this course in three half-day sessions. We recommend a gap of a week or so between each session.
Manage Challenging Behaviour
How do you deal with an irate, impatient, frustrated, shy, apathetic or rude person? It's never easy, but you will have to do it from time to time especially if you run a business. This seminar gives you proven tools and strategies for handling difficult situations and people. We show you how to discover the main causes of such problems and effective methods for de-fusing tensions and dealing with aggression. This is one of our most popular and successful courses.
Market Your Business & Get Results
To get orders, people need to know about what you have to sell, why they should buy it and how they can get it. That’s the purpose of marketing. This seminar poses some tough questions about your business, shows you how to identify your unique selling points, and how to build a customer profile. Having identified your prospective customers and their needs, learn how to focus your marketing strategy in order to reach them.
Design Electronic Forms That Really Work
Every organisation uses forms, and having them designed and printed for you can be expensive. This seminar takes you through the processes and principles that will help you design practical forms. The session includes the design of electronic forms for on-screen input. This course is very useful whether you are a small business or a large organisation. Ideal for organisations embarking on ISO9000 or Investors in People.
Harness the Power of Mind Maps
Most business owners know what mind maps are, but relatively few know just how useful they can be in business. Did you know that you can develop your ideas using a mind map and convert it into a Word document outline at the click of a button?
Did you know that your mind map can become a dynamic slideshow just easily, enabling you to get your thoughts across to an audience clearly and easily? You can use them to develop work flow diagrams, administrative procedures, manufacturing processes and much more. Well worth investing a couple of hours of your time and a small attendance fee.

Set Profitable Selling Prices
Do you really know what the costs are in your business? Do you know what the gross margins are on all your products, or do you just look at the annual accounts, which show the gross margin of the business as a whole, and apply that as a rule of thumb across the board? Rules of thumb are dangerous, but it is amazing how many companies use them, and then wonder why they lose money.
When you tender for a new contract or set the price for a new product or service, have you really considered the actual costs involved? We will show you a logical, practical and well-proven method of calculating realistic selling prices for products and services. This method works for most businesses and will show you how to work out the price you should charge for your products in order to make the profit that you want.
We will give you simple calculators (on spreadsheets) that anyone can use to rapidly work out costs and selling prices that take account of real-world issues and situations.
Be Assertive
Do Build up your self-confidence, and get other people to take notice of what you say and do. Study other people’s behaviour, and develop your own responses. Establish your own leadership in a group. Learn how being in control of yourself establishes control of interpersonal situations.
Drive Up Your Sales
The expression "A good product will sell itself." simply isn't true. Deal with objections, silences, and nerves. Learn how to give a good sales presentation, how to present the right image and ethical closing techniques for turning "No" into "Yes".
Care for Your Customers
Many businesses take their customers for granted or unwittingly treat them very poorly. You need to build excellent customer relations if you are to keep your customers. Look at your business through the eyes of customers and you are bound to find room for improvement.
How do you deal with complaints? How does your receptionist deal with angry, anxious, or upset customers? This one-day seminar can be invaluable by raising your awareness and giving you practical tools to develop and improve your relationship with your customers.
Grow Your Business
Growth can be very good for your business, but only if handled properly. It needs to be meticulously planned and organised, taking all the implications into account.
Growth may involve relocation or put pressure on your finances. In this workshop we help you to determine whether growth is a good option for you at this time and the various growth options that may be open to you. We look at the financial implications and what the benefits and penalties might be. We can also work with you to prepare your own growth plan.
Prepare Convincing Business Plans
This workshop will help you to prepare a professional business plan with the aid of several templates and working examples to get you started. You will benefit from the experience of our consultants and have the opportunity to raise questions and issues that concern you.
Your business plan presents a picture of your organisation to people who may never have met you nor visited your business - so it’s crucially important to get it right.
