OUTWIT, OUTPLAY AND OUTLAST YOUR COMPETITION!

Get up and Grow presents “How to Survive the Concrete Jungle"

Why the workshop?

Preparing a strategy can take anything from 1 whole day day (8 hours) to 12.5 days (100 hours), depending on your industry! And because you're stuck on getting the next deal closed, you don't have time to plan. I know, I've been there too! And we all know TIME is MONEY!

You could also have considered hiring a consultant, like me, to help you prepare your strategy for you. A very junior consultant charges R450, and a really senior one, R1800 or even more per hour!  And remember, the consultant will still be taking up some of your time to pick your brain to get to know your business better, so you won't be saving ALL your time, by having them do it for you.

Potentially, you could be in for the following scenario: (average time spent) 44 hours X (average cost) R1475 per hour = R 66 288.00

That's where this workshop and I come in!

I can save you both time and money!

There should always be a ROI on your training. I've made it easy for you to calculate the VALUE of attending this course, purely from a time and money saving point of view below:

You can tap into my consulting skills, one on one

I keep my classes small so you can pick my brain and get personalised tips and advice while you create your strategy of about 20 - 30 mins. This alone is worth R300 to R450 in my consulting fees.

You also get cleverer

You'll have stuff to show your peers and / your boss that'll impress them and create bigger profits! Which, of course, we can can only measure down the line.

Summary of Outcomes

You’ll walk out with your very own competitive advantage framework for your business, based on MBA material, just by the way, so simplified that you can use, review and revise it at your will.

Course outline and structure

The course is interactive and based on a very simplistic planning template designed with your SMME in mind. It’s based on the steps identified in the framework above. All you need to do is fill in the blanks and review your plan once a month to know where your firm stands. It’ll guide you so you’ll have a better understanding of the environment you operate in and how you need to adapt to it.

2.       Know your company - Identify Strengths (Weaknesses) and Identify opportunities (Threats)

3.       Decide on the most effective / practical way your firm can do better than your competitors

4.       How you will most effectively maintain an advantage over your competitors

Jan - Jun 2012 workshop dates and times

We know that sometimes its hard to make time for a training course during the day, so we have courses running on a Monday evening. In some industries, a Wedenesday afternoon is the easiest to make time for training and let's face it, no client of yours sees you on a Friday afternoon, so why not take your graveyard shift and do something fun and productive instead?
