GS Business Consultancy Programme

The GS Business Consultancy programme is tailored to your specific needs and circumstances - so it is impossible to say at this stage exactly what it will cover. Even so, some of the key areas that it could cover if they are important to you include:

• How to set and achieve your personal and business goals
• How to identify and tackle the major challenges facing your business
• How to develop the key systems you need to make your business successful
• How to sell your products and services for what they are really worth
• How to win more customers and earn more money from them
• How to develop sales systems that slash your advertising costs to zero
• How to make yours the most talked about customer service in your industry or area
• How to tap into the enormous hidden potential of your team so that you stay many steps ahead of your biggest and best competitors
• How to turn all the great ideas generated into action and results
• And, above all, how you can build a more profitable business that is worth much more when you come to sell or retire, turns your business goals and dreams into reality and gives you the time and money you need to enjoy all the other (non-business) things that are important to you.

Graphs

We provide graphical representations of data as a matter of course, often in colour, which help identify trends and an understanding of the figures. This is usually a summary of the last five years and a movement of funds but we have recently produced a linechart showing the last 21 years turnover and expenses for a client.

Five year summaries

At no extra cost, we provide five year trading summaries which highlight trends over the period. Some clients value this more highly than the current year's accounts!

We also include a Funds Flow Statement, highlighting cash movements.

Benchmarking

We can let you know how you compare to the "average" and also, using our internally developed software, we can also let you know how you compare locally, with regard to pricing, profit margins etc. This is totally
confidential and your individual data will not be disclosed to any one else. Our benchmarking product, Business Assessor, is now available to firms across the country through 2020 Innovation Group Ltd.

The "Meeting"

Our specially designed procedures ensure that a wide range of subjects are discussed with you at a meeting. We don't just look backwards, we look forwards as well - with a view to getting you to where you really want to be.

Our meeting rooms are available to clients for their own meetings free of charge.

Client Newsletters

We do not "buy in" newsletters and information sheets. We take the time and trouble to produce them ourselves to a high quality, with content that we consider useful and of interest. Over 5000 are mailed out twice a year. Are you on our mailing list? If not, complete the feedback form and we'll add you to the list.

Information Technology

We can provide IT workshops and "brainstorming" sessions on getting the most from your IT investment.

Access to Specialist Knowledge and Services

We have a special relationship with international accountants Ernst & Young, and are able to call upon their specialist knowledge and resources if and when required, as well as other professionals.

Publications

We produce a variety of fact sheets and booklets on a range of subjects. Click here for a full list.
