Business Development Accelerator Program
Our Business Development Accelerator Program, has been specifically designed to provide small business owners, with a supported training regime to help take their business to the next level!
Over the last 30 years our parent company, the Small Business Mentoring Service has worked with 1000’s of small business owners. During this time, we have identified three common issues as being the core reasons why many business fail .
- Lack of a clear direction or losing sight of their original objectives
- Lack of understanding as to what is happening in their business
- An inability to effectively communicate their offer to potential customers
It is from looking at HOW to help clients overcome these issues that the Business Development Accelerator Program was created.
This Program is specifically designed for small business owners who recognize they require help and who are willing to put in the time and effort to create change.
