Business Planning

ATTENTION ALL ENTREPRENEURS: Right now, at this very moment, Your business may not be capturing all the business AND profit that is out there in the market.

“The worst thing about missed business opportunities is that you don’t even know that you’ve missed them! What if you could tap into those missed opportunities? What if you could clearly see those opportunities and what they’d mean for your business?”

If you’re wondering about these issues then read on…

Hi, I’m Gail Geronimos

For the last 17 years I have been working with entrepreneurial and high growth companies to help them identify more opportunities for increased profit and revenue.

Many more businesses than you would think simply do not REALLY understand where their future opportunities are. I’ve been in this business a long time. And it still amazes me that people don’t see that they are missing opportunities to make more sales and generate good profit margins.

Do you know where your next market is?

A lot of businesses suffer from this syndrome. They have it in their heads that ‘it will come good if we just …..’. I’ve seen too many business people risk too much backing that scenario.

We’re talking about adding significantly to your annual turnover with good profit. The reality is that not everyone knows how to go about identifying where that extra revenue will come from.

Why does this happen?…

Well, part of the answer is that managers and entrepreneurs are very busy. Business is moving fast and you don’t have time to ponder issues in management ‘think tanks’. There is too much going on. Every day another problem pops up.

And you’re sick of hearing that you need to get away to work ON the business rather than IN the business. There is simply not enough time to do everything that needs to be done.

Another reason that opportunities aren’t identified is that many people don’t know where to start. It all sounds good in theory but what are the steps? What’s involved and how long does it take? Can I do it myself or do I need to get a consultant involved?

And then it gets put in the ‘too hard’ basket.

In the short term, it may not be a survival issue but long term, you are risking the very existence of your business. You haven’t worked this hard to see it all disappear because you were too busy working on the day-to-day problems.

You can’t afford NOT to focus on what you need to do to tap into new business opportunities. You see others achieving that success and wonder how they did it. Do they have some kind of magic wand? Were they just lucky? They don’t have a magic wand. And there is very little luck involved. And no, they don’t have a direct line to the God of Success!

The good news is … It’s not rocket science. It can be simple and you’d be surprised how much you can achieve with the right information and tools. You can make a start for yourself right now. Most business people know that they need to plan for their growth. What you want is a process that is faster, easier, more effective and easily implemented. You need:

• A planning process that is simple and easy to follow. You don’t have time to read endless pages and complex business models. You do want a process that works and is easy to follow.
• A way to document your plans so that they are actually implemented. You’re sick of having plans sit on the shelf. You and your team spend a lot of time on the process and you can’t afford to waste the time without getting good results.
• Techniques to track the progress of your planning decisions throughout the year. It’s very difficult to cross reference large complex plans. What you need to do is track the actions resulting from your planning process.
• To acquire the ‘smarts’ so that you can get the planning process underway right now. You want to have this strategic skill developed in your team. You want to be self reliant with your planning.

Welcome to Episodes 8 I have been working with high growth companies in just about every sector you could imagine to help these companies grow and increase their profits. The core of this work is a planning process called Episodes 8. As a result of following Episodes 8 you will: know which markets are the best… know how to deliver to those markets … be better prepared to trump your competitors… see opportunities to increase in your revenue… and, better still, you see how to get you monthly profit to head north.

Here are a some impressive results that a group of 23 companies achieved after just 2 years using the Episodes 8 approach to planning.

Each company increased revenue by $5.5 million (averaged)

Each company employed an additional 28 people (averaged) 8 raised over $18.6 million in equity capital With the Episodes 8 Planning Manual it is possible for you to achieve results like this.

You and your management team will know what it takes to succeed in your markets.

You’ll know who your best customers are, what they want and how to package your products and services to gain greater market share. And you’ll better understand which customers will value your products and services.

You will have a clearer idea of who your ‘A Class’ clients are. You will find that profits build and that your business has a stronger foundation for a sustainable and profitable future. You’ll know what to do … You’ll know how to do it … You’ll know why it works … You’ll be working towards achievable targets … And you’ll sleep better at night knowing that you have a clear path to profit.

I have been helping companies with these simple planning processes for 17 years. As clients move around the world they have contacted me to see how they can access the Episodes 8 Planning Process.

So, I have finally found some time to sit down and put this material together in a package so that others can use these tried and proven manuals, templates and tools to build their profit and revenue. These processes are universal. They work everywhere.

I first read about these business principles in ‘The Art of War’ by Sun Tzu. They are timeless strategies and they work for both small and large companies. And now you can build a strong future for your business with the help of the Episodes 8.
