Business Growth in a nutshell

1st May 2015

In the film Wall Street, Gordon Gekko famously said that breakfast was for whimps.

We would like you to help us prove him wrong by joining us for breakfast and having a conversation about growing your business. Now that is not for the fainted hearted! Business Sheffield and Winning Pitch have teamed up and put together a short, sharp session where we will use a few tried and tested simple techniques to allow you to: sit down with us to think about where your business is now; where you want to take it; and the kind of support available to help you get there. If you can join us, we will be kicking things off with a short presentation from Winning Pitch Founder, John Leach who will share his own experiences of leading a growing business and discuss why some irms grow and others don't. We will then dive straight into a practical round-table session to discuss the approach to growth with the Winning Pitch team, Business Sheffield's advisors and businesses which have experience of using the selected tools to support their growth. By 10:30am, you will hopefully leave with some immediate actions, plenty of thoughts about your 3-5 year plan and a lot of clarity about how we can help you to move forward. Health warning: we are not trying to sell you anything or get you to sign up to a programme that will commit you to anything. THERE IS NO CATCH! All we are keen for you to do is participate in the session and maybe, if you are persuaded, follow up with a meeting with Business Sheffield's free, impartial and commercially savvy Growth Advisor Team. Register by Friday 8th May, via the Eventbrite link below, and don't miss out on this opportunity for business growth support.
