Increase Your Profits With Management Accounting

Most small business owners, when they think about Accounting, think of Balance Sheets, Income Statements and Tax Returns. This is what is known as Financial Accounting. However, if you really want to improve your chances of having a successful business, it is critical that you understand Management Accounting. By understanding such topics as Cash Flow, Budgeting and Breakeven Analysis, you can greatly improve your profits. Financial Accounting only tells you where you have been, while Management Accounting can help you manage where you are going.

    The Art of Effective Networking
    Powerful Professional Networking for Small Business

    Workshop description

    "Over the years I have found that a large percentage of business is found through networking! Needless to say, effective networking is vital to your continued business success. Rarely does business just “fall into our laps.” Instead, successful business partnerships are created when we target potential customers, establish communication and cultivate long term relationships.

    "This workshop concentrates on how you can excel at the skill identified as the top reason for entrepreneurial success. Understand the importance of networking; why to network and how you network like a pro. Learn how easy it can be when you understand why networking is important, what you should be trying to achieve and how you can be a skilled and sparkling conversationalist.  You will learn how to carry on a conversation with people you’ve never met with ease. Understand and refine those all-important listening skills, eliminating the road blocks to good listening. Finally we will concentrate on what to do before, during and after the networking event.


    "The take home result of this workshop will be the ability to professionally network any event you attend and build the relationships that positively impact your bottom line."

    Who's Your Target Audience (Really) and How to Engage Them Effectively


    ===========================

    Keys to marketing that connects

    ===========================

    Talk to the right people about things they care about, in ways that are meaningful to them, and they’ll respond positively.  That’s obvious.

    But small businesses often break that basic formula for effective communication in their marketing and end up handicapping sales. Worse, sometimes owners can’t even figure out what’s wrong with their marketing, they just know something is. For some reason, their marketing just isn’t working well enough.

    If your marketing results aren’t what you think they should be, at least part of the problem (almost by definition) is probably that your message is to some extent:

    • Addressed to the wrong people;
    • Focused on issues they don’t really care about and/or;
    • Using language that doesn’t connect with them.

    In this highly practical workshop you’ll learn:

    • How to make sure you’re talking to the right people (and they might not be who you think!);
    • The keys to getting them to pay attention to you, and;
    • How to motivate your audience to respond (that is, buy something from you!).
