Frequently Asked Questions




"The Business Start Up course was the most comprehensive training I have ever received.

Having already wasted literally thousands of £'s on other course I was naturally sceptical. However, after the first hour I knew I was onto a winner!

The section that related to 'generating sustainable sales' was the best part. I never knew it was so easy to make a sale and I now have the right skills to take my business to the next level"

6 simple steps to help you grow your business during an economic downturn.

During a recession or economic downturn it can be a testing time for many businesses and entrepreneurs. However, by changing your mindset and applying a few simple strategies your business can grow significantly during difficult economic times:

1. It is imperative that you implement a 'multi step' follow up communication strand of between 7-30 contacts (email, mail, telephone etc) with everybody who comes into contact with your business as a potential customer. The majority of business owners will give up after just one or two contacts with a potential customer. If only they knew how much income they were missing out on!

2. Powerful guarantees are essential during an economic downturn. If the customer trusts you, they will buy from you.

3. Learn how to test the market - especially the internet, and become very good at Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC). PPC is very easy to test, yet most Search Engine advertising can't be bothered to test it, and will lose a fortune through wasted adverts.

4. The media are generally very good at scaring people - They only have to print the Headline 'RECESSION LOOMS' in their newspaper and the readers attitude to everything will change dramatically. Limit the amount of media coverage you intake.

It is important that you keep away from all negative media publishing as you need to be at your best during an economic downturn. If you are feeling negative, then this will come through in your business.

5. Implement an immediate upsell and cross sell programme into your business. It’s one of the easiest ways to give yourself an immediate profit boost – at no cost.

6. Double the amount of communications you send to your existing customers. They are 16 times easier to sell to than new customers.
