Considering the potential for many changes in most organisations, branch business planning and strategic and operational goals, it is imperative that managers have an understanding of the successful and effective management of change. It’s time to ensure that everyone in your organisation shares the “new” vision in order that the organisation’s aspirations can be achieved, and that everyone is on the same page. Learn how not to be intimidated by change, and seek the opportunities offered.

Points covered:-

• Effective communications
• How do your customers benefit from the change?
• Marketing the new vision
• Creating a collective entity
• Maximising your resources
• Coping with change
• Strategies to manage change

Points covered:-

• To understand the challenges of your team in organising their time and prioritising tasks.
• To give participants a better understanding of individual time management techniques.
• To give added value to the work-life balance by taking these strategies out of the workplace and into their personal lives, thus in turn increasing the levels of satisfaction. This translates to WIIFM (what’s in it for me?).

Having problems “closing the sale”?

EVERYONE’S A “SALESPERSON”

Everybody is a “salesperson”, whether you are a receptionist, town planner or engineer. Customers see the person they are dealing with face-to-face, on the phone or by email as the representative of that organisation. You become the XYZ Company in their eyes. How well do you “sell” the organisation? Do you do all the lead up work and then fail to deliver? Do you provide a favourable impression of the organisation you represent? Learn how to become a more efficient “salesperson” and watch the reputation of your organisation grow.

Points covered:-

• Sales techniques
• “Getting the message across”
• Answering objections
• Follow up

Is a lack of a cohesive team vision hampering your company’s decision?

UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE AND SHARING THE VISION:

THE EXECUTIVE RETREAT

And is it clearly displayed in your places of business? The importance of sharing the Vision cannot be overstated. Less than 20% of businesses or organisations have one, yet approximately 95% of successful businesses or organisations do. It’s time to ensure everyone in your organisation shares the vision in order that the organisation’s aspirations can be achieved, and that everyone is on the same page.

Points covered:-

• Establishing a corporate vision
• How will your customers benefit?
• Does it encapsulate what you do?
• How to put the mission into words
• Marketing the vision
• Creating a collective entity
• Maximising your resources
• Coping with change
• Managing change

Points covered:-

• Personality types
• Selecting your team
• Sharing the team vision
• Determining strengths and weaknesses (SWOT analysis)
• Strategic planning
• Establishing responsibilities
• Team communications
