ARGHHHH ....Working with an 'Outsider' isn't so scary
It isn't daunting, intimidating or anything you should be worried about
There is a stigma around engaging with a specialist from outside your business so I'm here to give you the confidence that it will be the best thing you can do for you and your business.
I begin with a chat:
Please don't feel you have to be 'dressed for work in a suit'. I wear smart casual clothes as I want my clients to feel at ease.
Please don't feel you will be out of your depth. I speak in plain speech, a non-technical language and my purpose is to make sure you understand everything we are talking about.
Please don't think I talk 'businessy'. I speak as if we were sat in a cafe over a coffee putting the world to rights.......in fact that is where we are sometimes, I often feel it beneficial to take you away from the hub so that you are relaxed and not uptight.
Please don't feel you're on your own. Recently a client said that it was brilliant having someone for them, like having a business partner.
Please believe there are solutions to your challenges. You may feel you've got as far as you can in the business or that you've hit a barrier .....you haven't. With my experience, contacts and background there is so much more for your business out there. You have been in your own industry little bubble, there is a whole new world of opportunities for you just waiting.
My first port of call after our chat ...(if we like each other), is my Fact Finding Day. This is where we deep dive into your business and identify 'what' to do.
I have no hard sell, I hope you want me to stick around but absolutely no pressure for me to stay at that point. It is up to you if you want to take away the information from the FFD and work through 'how' to do the things that need to be done without my help and support. Or, we set a plan, sign an agreement and start setting out the steps to identify and where you are now and exactly where you need to be, but more importantly educate and support 'how' you get there in the way you feel the most comfortable, with the biggest benefits to you and the business.
No one can talk and tell me more about your business than you. I love seeing the light in people's eyes when they tell me how and where they began. I also see it when that light is flickering and you're tired. That gives me a fuzzy feeling as I know we can get you back in love with your business.
No one is more passionate than you, so don't think you have to continue muddling/struggling/wading your way through the challenges business throws at you.
I want you to be comfortable with me, I speak calmly, relaxed and put a different perspective on things. I don't speak techy...unless you want me to, I enjoy sharing those 'lottery winning nuggets'.
I listen to what you have to say about you and I am extremely interested. I'm a bit of a nerd with how things work and ask the nuts and bolts of a business. I feel your passion, I understand it, I've been in your shoes experiencing so much of what you are experiencing. I've been up the mountain and back down again so I also feel your fear.
You will regularly see
me on a zoom call with a puppy asleep on my lap, or hay stuck in my hair. What you get with me is the completely authentic, genuine deal. I've worn the masks and pretended to be something I'm not and I just can't be false. It's important we fit with one another and the experience is enjoyable rather than a chore. I'm there to get the 'stuff' done without creating you any more 'stuff'.
I've taken businesses to levels they hadn't even known were possible, shared opportunities that they thought were beyond their wildest dreams and helped business owners decide (in one afternoon to their surprise on one occasion) what their exit strategy was.
I support you with your beginning, middle and end. After all that's how the story books are written and this should be your story with a happy ending.
If we identify an area of the business that needs a specialist I have a fabulous support network who I now consider my very goodfriends that I can trust with my clients.
You can be confident you and your business are getting the very best care and attention. My passion is seeing businesses succeed and grow. I love being part of the team and regard myself a critical friend that brings value to the business.
Don't think that engaging with an 'outsider' of your team isn't for you.
I call myself an Improvement Specialist as who can say there isn't room for improvement.
