Save9 and its consortium of management consultants offer a unique business growth and coaching service to empower prestart, startup and established businesses based in Yorkshire and the North East.
Save9's philosophy is to help each client seek out new commercial opportunities and develop new or improved ways of doing things by integrating research, established management models/frameworks and the exploitation of technology to help meet agreed strategic objectives; whilst providing an understanding for each client on how they might act on the resources, knowledge and experience offered to them.
Our consultants will provide practical help, support, inspiration and guidance in the following areas:
- Business Plans & Proposals
- Sales and Marketing assistance
- Forecasting future sales and profits
- Pricing advice and guidance
- Identifying gaps in the supply chain
- Identifying opportunities to fill the gaps in supply chains
- Developing contract opportunities
- Developing and supporting local business networks
- Digital development packages
- Access to finance and business angel investors
The kind of coaching we also offer does more than influence behaviour; our team of management consultants supplement every client’s learning process; providing knowledge, opinions, and judgment in critical areas. From the outset we recognise that each client must increase their competency and become self-reliant in a relatively short period of time. Our coaching-based service is driven by an agreed agenda, essentially task related with a focus on transforming each business based on SMART principles...
SIMPLE – Keep the goals clear and easy in the beginning. By nature, your goals will become more challenging and difficult in time.
MEASURABLE - Start with the end in mind. What exactly do you want to accomplish? How will you know when you have accomplished it?
ACTION - Once you have identified your simple and measurable goals take steps to action them - so you can start ticking them off your “To Do List”.
REALISTIC – Make sure your goals are practical, sensible and achievable; both in the objective you are trying to accomplish and the deadline you assign to it.
TIMELY - All goals, even short-term ones, should have some sort of deadline attached to them. Very rarely is a goal met without consideration for time.
Our team of consultants help to identify areas for potential business growth and sustainability. The following list shows specific areas for discussion – so that each client is able to devise a clear model for achieving success in or out of their respective markets:
- Base retention
- Gross share gain
- Market positioning
- Adjacent markets
- New lines of business
End-customers of Save9 include start-ups, SMEs, Multi-nationals, Local Authorities, Enterprise Agencies and Public Corporations so the breadth and scale of our experience is substantial. All of the consultants on our team are commercially aware – many with a proven track record in running their own successful businesses and/or business support services.
Most of the consortium are formally trained in business management disciplines and coaching techniques with a high proportion already MBA (Master of Business Administration) qualified. The team will not recommend or undertake any action without solid qualitative or quantitative research that would allow for plausible outcomes – all of which will be audited within a risk mitigation matrix (appreciating that risk avoidance is the antithesis to entrepreneurialism).
In summary, we are here to help clients move beyond the limits that are imposed on them – whether they are attitudes, beliefs, resources, capabilities, processes or strategies. Through proven business development techniques we can revolutionise how a business operates in its marketplace; providing a clear path to overall economic success.
