Looking for a Business Consulting Specialist with experience working with creative people such as: Graphic Designers, Marketing Services, PR Services and Web Designers?
Well you have come to the right place!
We may not be the most visually creative people in the world. But we do understand your business model and the challenges that you face as creative people developing your business..
With years of experience working with companies in creative industries we often encounter problems such as;
- Not getting paid for all the work you do
- Not having enough time to market your business
- Not knowing how to market on a very tight budget
- Customers not paying on time
- Customers not seeing the value in what you do
- No clear goals
- Not enough profit
- Not enough time in the day
- Team not really helping out enough
- Poor conversion rate from meetings to paying customers
- Quality of customers are not ideal, their budgets are too small
More often than not the following advice from our team is
"The three areas Graphic Design Companies, Marketing Services, PR Services, Web Design Companies, Graphic Designers, Marketers, and Web Designers should focus on are:
- Business Development (marketing, internet marketing, lead generation, sales conversion)
- Business Strategy & Structure (the business model - financial and organisational, direction and action plans, goals and milestones, exit strategy), and
- Business Systemisation (time management, automation, processes and workflow, team delegation and leadership, reporting)."
Looking in more detail at the first area - Business Development: It is critical to the success of your creative business that you continually work to increase the number of prospects, leads, opportunities and sales. You have to keep filling up the funnel with either new opportunites or existing customers. If you stand still in your marketing someone else will take your place and your customer base will deminish over time.
With our help your can bring a fresh set of eyes to your sales and marketing process. Helping you to develop strategies and tactics that will differentiate you from the competition and fill up your sales pipeline.
Business Strategy & Structure is usually a grey area in a creative business. We understand that setting up an organisation structure with defined roles and responsibilities is not the most exciting thing to spend your time doing. It does however lead to improved results when people are able to be held accountable for tasks within the business. Figuring out who is taking care of the finances and who is looking after the sales pipeline, setting up some goals and then recording and reporting on this can have a massive positive effect on results.
The final area that we know we can help out with is Business Systemization. Automating certain aspects of your pride and joy (your business) can have a dramatic effect on the amount of time that you then have to be creative. Figuring out how to get you more automated, organized and having more time to design is what we do best!
