Mentoring and Coaching |
Being the MD of a small company can
be a very lonely role. |
| |
| Business Mentoring |
A business mentor can be an ally and
increase the likelihood of success by:- |
| |
- Bring an independent and honest appraisal
of the situation.
- Offer a broad range of knowledge and
experience.
- Act as a sounding board for ideas
and plans.
- Provide a focus on where the business
is going and how it’s going to get there.
- Give reassurance that you are doing
the right things.

“Your help & guidance has been fantastic. I shall
now plan more confidently for the future using my full potential
whilst knowing my limitations and what to delegate.”

“I was first introduced to Graham by Sussex Enterprise
three years ago.
Since that time we have worked on many aspects of the business
at Kittiwake, and my role within it, during a time of considerable
growth
and expansion.
Graham's broad commercial experience, depth of expertise and
provoking ideas have provided an excellent fit with the needs
of both the business & my own personal development. I
continue to find our work of great value as there has not
been a session where Graham has failed to identify opportunity,
stimulate change or raise a debate. He has an uncanny knack
for identifying matters that I'm not dealing with effectively.
This coupled with a plain talking style delivered exactly
what I was looking for.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to any individual
or company as either a coach, mentor or consultant.”

“Graham has worked with Sussex Transport for the
last 4 years and provided regular advice, support and mentoring.
His contribution has helped us to more than double our sales
and increase our net profit by 1000%. Graham’s breadth
and depth of experience has proved an invaluable resource
along our journey to build a stronger business and I would
wholeheartedly recommend his services to others who are keen
to grow and improve their business.”

| “Over a 3 year period Graham has provided
a wealth of support and advice to help me focus on improving
the business. He is a great coach, mentor & sounding board;
providing a good balance of critique and praise. Implementing
his ideas and suggestions has allowed us to overcome barriers
& achieve objectives. He has my full recommendation.”

| Business Coaching |
Do you suffer from any of these problems? |
| |
- You are too busy fire fighting to
take time out to improve things.
- There are days when your staff appear
to create more problems than they fix.
- You try to do most things yourself
but keep thinking there must be a better way.
- Your people don’t communicate
effectively and this leads to mistakes.
- If only your staff gave the same
level of customer service as you do.
- Your business is run by people and
not systems, so when one leaves you have big problems.
- You have no idea if your marketing
works or whether there might be a better way to do it.
- You do not have a good handle on profit
by customer or product.
- Break even and balance sheet ratios
are a bit of a mystery.
- Prices are always under pressure and
your margins get squeezed.
- You don’t know how many leads
you get each month and how many are converted into sales.
- Your customers won’t pay on-time.
