Common questions answered.
What is the 'Partner Programme'?'?
We take this seriously. Our mission is to help. We work with you, not at you. When both parties make a solid commitment and work as 'partners,' it bonds them and achieves greater success. As opposed to a 'scale-up' delivery approach where you might feel you're simply another customer and lost in their volume, our approach is to take on fewer clients and work more closely with each 'Partner.'
What do you mean by ‘Shared Risk’?
Essentially at the beginning of the programme when you come on board with us as a ‘Partner’ there is a massive amount of ‘set up’ work to be done…hundreds of hours in fact… and we simply cannot charge for all of those hours or it would be too expensive for you. Thus, we commit to the programme and invest those hours with no charge to you in order to get your ‘machine’ rolling.
How long does the arrangement last for?
Ironically, we don't put into place lengthy contracts, and we don't make you stay with us! Our hope is simply that when we both commit to getting it working, and thus when your business is finally easier to run and more consistent with enquiries, sales, and growth, you won't want to turn off what we have built and move away. You are always free to leave, which makes us work hard at making it so good that you stay!
How does the ‘CRM SYSTEM’ work?
CRM or 'Customer Relationship Management' systems have been around a long time now. They are an electronic 'little black book' where all names, numbers, and important data are stored. This is your business 'hub.' Our team helps your business by building this 'hub' for you and customizing it with you so that it makes every business process - especially lead management and customer nurturing - easier. You will be guided, coached, and for our 'partners,' there are weekly coaching calls and ongoing support.
What Coaching do I get?
Professional business coaches, especially the better, more experienced ones, charge a fee often of several thousand each month. This, however, is very often money well spent as the coach guides the business to growth. As a partner with 'YourBusinessMarketingTeam,' you are automatically a part of our ongoing coaching and support program. This in itself is worth literally thousands!
What type of business is this programme best suited for?
In truth, almost all businesses need a constant flow of new enquiries and all businesses benefit from a more systemized approach; however, every application is taken on its own merit. Not every business that approaches us is accepted. Both parties have to feel that it is going to work before making a commitment, and if sometimes that doesn't feel right, it doesn't go any further.
Does the size of business matter?
The only thing of real relevance is the desire of the business owner to make improvements. You might be a one-person business that is drowning under the load of all of those tasks, and yes, this would be perfect for you... or you might already have a team of 10 or more, and yes, this will arguably make an even bigger difference. Ask yourself how you feel about where you are at now and ask where you want to be and what that looks like. If what you have right now isn't working, then connect with us today, and we will try to help.
