What do the modules cover?

The course has been designed to solve the main problems faced by professional services firms and individuals alike - particularly with the advent of Covid-19.

If your business is affected by any of these five common issues, there is a module for you:

  1. Lack of stand out from the competition

  2. No strategy to differentiate on anything other than price

  3. Cannot easily get in front of potential new clients

  4. Over-reliance on referrals to generate new profitable business leads

  5. Lacking the skill and confidence to close meetings into billable work on a consistent basis. Closing ratio of less than 1 in 2 opportunities.
