Money or Grow Your Existing Business
Do you know where your business is headed? Whether your
venture is just getting off the ground or you’ve
been successful for years, an effective business plan
is a key to future success for your business. A business
plan can help you raise startup capital, raise funds to
take your business in a new direction, or simply help
you plan out your goals and strategies for the next couple
of years.
This Entrepreneurial Consulting seminar helps business
people understand every aspect of developing their business
plan, including:
- Business viability analysis
- Mission and objective development
- Management team
- Market analysis, including competitive analysis
- Product & service description
- Operations & implementation
- Marketing plan development and sales strategizing
- Financial forecasting

Armed with the understanding of the value and components
to a business plan, attendees can begin the process towards
increased likelihood of success from their company.
10 Tips for Hiring Success
Most small businesses either hire staff on their own
or use recruiting firms. Hiring internally often falls
on the President or an office manager. The President should
be focusing on bigger picture tasks, and office managers
are often ill prepared for this important task. This practice
often leads to settling on less than ideal candidates.
Recruiting firms tend to be very costly for small firms,
up to 35% of the employee’s salary.
There is a better way to hire employees, and Entrepreneurial
Consulting can show you the way in this useful seminar.
We will take you through the 10 steps in our recruiting
process, including, but not limited to:
- Performing a thorough, needs analysis, and creating
an appropriate job description
- Crafting and placing ads in the appropriate locations
- Alternate channels to attract candidates
- Screening candidates before the interview process
- How to role play with candidates
- Tips on evaluating candidates
- Developing a compensation package and offer structure
- Creating orientation and staff training materials
