What does the service include?
Avaa/Sulje sisältöThe basic content of the service is the same for every service provider.
The service includes an initial assessment, a meeting, a development plan, and the opportunity to receive further consultation. The ways of implementing the service may differ from one service provider to another. Check out the service providers' presentations and find the way that is right for you.
1. Initial assessment
Once the service provider has received a service order, they will contact you and survey the situation at your enterprise. The survey can be carried out for example by means of advance assignments completed by you or by means of an interview. After the survey, you will agree on a meeting time together.
2. Meeting
The duration of the meeting is at least 1.5 hours. The aim of the meeting is to find the most suitable ways to develop your business and entrepreneurial competence. The emphasis is on developing sales and marketing skills.
At the meeting, the service provider will go through the following topics from the point of view of your business:
- Products and sales channels
- The market conditions
- The customer purchasing process
- Sales goals: plans and calculations, tracking results
- Profitability of sales and pricing
- Customer relationship management and acquisition of new customers
- Marketing plan
- Preconditions and opportunities for profitable growth
- Sales and marketing skills, the need for possible external resources
The service provider can also review with you other factors than the ones mentioned above that affect the profitability of your business operations.
3. Development plan
Based on the meeting, the service provider draws up a sales and marketing development plan for your company. The plan is a tool that considers your company's situation and that you can use, update, and supplement in the future as well. The plan includes a summary description of the current situation and areas for sales and marketing development. The main focus of the development plan is on concrete recommendations for action: how can development targets and challenges be solved with the resources of your company.
4. Possibility of further consultation
If you wish, you can arrange 1 to 4 additional free meetings. The duration of each follow-up counselling appointment is 1 to 2 hours. The aim of further counselling is to provide you with support for developing your sales and marketing skills and to make you able to further concrete development measures. The topics for further counselling are planned together before the start of further consultation.
