Setting Goals to Accelerate – Visioning: NatWest Business Builder Workshop

Join the NatWest Business Builder team to explore your vision for your business and turn it into manageable goals. We all have goals, certain things we strive for; a certain level of turnover, multiple product streams, etc. Goals are usually personal and so when something like COVID-19 comes along, a lot of the goals and plans we put in place must be shelved, leaving us feeling deflated and demotivated. Join the Business Builder team as we look at creating long term visions to keep you inspired and motivated and keep your business moving forward. We’ll break those visions down into milestones that feel manageable and allow you to feel regular progress whilst keeping the needs of yourself and the business at the heart of every decision you make.

The Power of Mindset – NatWest Business Builder Workshop

Understand your own mindset, where it may be holding you back, and the tools and techniques you need to take the next uncomfortable step. Our mindset shapes everything we think and everything we do. From the brand of pasta or loo-roll we buy to the top priority business decisions we make. Often these decisions are made for us by our unconscious and could often be holding us back because these decisions are uncertain or uncomfortable – especially just now. Join the NatWest Business Builder team and take a deep dive into The Power of Mindset. We’ll be looking at how our mindset is formed and influenced to understand why different situations feel comfortable or not. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of your own mindset, where it may be holding you back, and the tools and techniques you need to take the next uncomfortable step.

Finding the Sweet Spot

Join John Pomeroy to look at finding the sweet spot for your business, helping you maximise your profits and minimise your efforts. Finding the Sweet Spot for your business is important in helping you maximise your profitability and minimise your effort. Understanding where you have differentiation will help you focus on the customers most likely to buy what you have and who value what you do. Failure to identify your sweet spot will leave you competing by price alone! About John Having spent the last 30 years building and growing organisations across Europe, I have effectively spent my entire working life constantly challenging the best way to penetrate and grow revenues and build strong and sustainable organisations to support that growth. I have experience in both direct & indirect sales models, have worked extensively with sales partners and distributors as independent organisations and as joint-venture organisations. Along this journey I have been involved in both the sale of companies and acquisition and subsequent assimilation of companies, so also have an in depth understanding of what constitutes value and the issues involved on both sides of the merger & acquisition process. For several years now I have been working with owners
