Edge Business Consulting & Coaching Small Businesses

Right now, more than ever, we need to support local business first. The easiest way to do that is develop a platform, where the only thing you'll see, are locally owned businesses. Nothing else! And that's exactly what Sunshine Coast Business Now and the Local Business Now directories are all about. www.sunshinecoastbusinessnow.com.au Businesses want growth, not just a job. Businesses need skills, strategies and support to grow. It's about eliminating overwhelm and uncomplicating the process. A lot of it really simple, based around awareness and simple strategies to attract and keep customers. Business fundamentals are the new innovation! Its not always about just having a great product or service. Businesses need to get everything right in order to standout, attract more customers, have them all coming back more often and referring others! That often takes a basic skill set that not everyone has, or is even aware of. Even the worlds best athletes need ongoing trainers, coaches and strategists to stay at the top. So too do business owners, their teams, leaders and managers. With over 33 years of experience in small to medium sized business, the most recent 22 years as franchisee principal of Bartercard Brisbane West and following that, two years consulting to Bartercard Australia in supporting their company owned franchises all over Australia. Managing sales and customer service teams and working with thousands of SMEs with their marketing, image, branding and general business growth strategies, I can see what they don't do, what stops them from getting the results they want and what they should do about it, to grow. Its easy to see where small business goes wrong, by missing some of the business basics like image, sales, service, marketing, staff and planning and why more than 90% of businesses fail. Small, medium, franchised and even large sized businesses need to focus attention also on the things, other than just the core product or service, to ensure they standout from their competitors. Business training delivered with what these businesses actually need and actually implemented, is the difference between success and failure in most cases. Sunshine Coast Business Now, Local Business Now, Mybusinessnow and the Business360 program are all about getting customers, stand out better, keeping them, encouraging them to spend more and then referring others to do the same! Its achieved by business training and strategies that shows how attention to image, sales skills, customer experience, great marketing and staff engagement make a huge difference!
