what will you learn
Throughout eight sessions, micro and small business owners will expand their reach and boost their sales by using key digital resources, implementing e-commerce tools, developing operational and marketing strategies and assessing their financials.
By the end of the program, business owners will complete a framework that accelerates their growth reaching new customers and increasing interactions with existing ones.
Strategy doesn’t have to be so intimidating. Leverage your strengths to mitigate risks, all by taking a strong assessment of where you are, and where you want to be. This session touches on your mindset as an entrepreneur, and helps set the path for you, personally, to succeed.
With a small amount of resources, you need to focus your energy where it is going to make the biggest impact. Before we dive into fixing your website, let’s make sure that we’re fixing it for the right audience, telling the right story, and not guessing at what they want.
Modern tools save you countless time and dollars – and, we promise it only seems daunting from a distance! We’ll break down the must-have areas of technology, to help you stop doing the hundred different things that you shouldn’t (or don’t have to) do. Let’s start to multiply yourself.
Today, the website can be the most important place where you interact with your clients. Let’s make sure that it tells the right story, looks the part, and functions the way your customers need it to.
You’ve been running your marketing on standby for too long! Get into your customer’s head and get your brand/web content ready for campaigns that are able to be found. Let's get your digital marketing process running on purpose.
Now that we have the right systems in place, we can actively start to bring new prospects in. This second-part marketing session dives into the different levers you can pull to achieve the growth you’ve planned all along – even some growth that you didn’t expect!
Every business owner needs to know enough about their numbers to drive their business forward. This introductory accounting session simplifies the financial system, and shines a light into critical metrics of your business.
As business owners, we’ll do whatever it takes – even if it’s working a hundred hours, and sacrificing all other areas of our life! That might be the problem? We conclude this course with a session that focuses on you, and your wellbeing.
