Learn the Habits of Highly Successful Businesses

Accounting Professionals has worked with businesses both big and small for over 10 years now. In that time we have helped many businesses overcome the typical challenges faced at each stage of the business life-cycle from start-up, developing and growing, even exit strategies.

The topics, carefully chosen from the lessons we’ve learned over the years working with business owners, focus on the habits of highly effective businesses and are designed to help small business owners who are interested in growing their business to meet ever-changing market challenges and customer expectations.

The business success series identifies the Pricing, People, Technology, Marketing, Finance and Management Strategies the best performing businesses use and how to use these strategies to drive the best outcomes in participating businesses.  Participants will learn:

  • What Pricing and Revenue models are businesses using to increase sales by more than 20%?
  • How are businesses using new technology to manage customers, stock, services and teams better?
  • What are the latest online marketing trends and how effective are they?
  • What are the 7 habits of highly effective businesses, why do they work and how do you put them in place?
  • How do the best performing businesses create positive and inspiring work places?
  • How do the best performing businesses maximise their exit price when selling the business?

These one hour workshops, held on site at our Shellharbour City Office, will commence on September 20 and run each fortnight until mid-December. Pricing is $100 per session or $500 to attend all 7 workshops.

If your small business is in the running, growth or exit stage of its live cycle, these events are for you.
