OK, so what's it all about then?  Well, in conjunction with Peter Thomson, the UK’s leading strategist on business and personal growth, PROBIZ EDGE™ has been created for you to give you the competitive edge in all your sales and marketing activities.

These techniques work.

Well, what is PROBIZ Edge™ then?  Good question!  Let me explain a little more... 

We've teamed up with Peter Thomson International plc to create a dynamic business growth system that will transform your business quickly to the next level.

You deserve the best!

Now, these innovative growth strategies are solutions not generally available in the open market.

Even large corporations with a team of financial and business advisers, accountants and lawyers would benefit from the PROBIZ Edge™.

And you would have to look really hard to find anything else around as rigorous and robust.

I'm not kidding. 

The facilitators for PROBIZ Edge™ will be myself, Rick Peet, and my colleague Mark P. Russell.  Both of us have wide-ranging experience of working in many different types of businesses and industry sectors. We were also involved in the pilot project completed at the end of 2005 focusing on leadership and management development of SME owner managers using Action Learning and sponsored by Skills for Business.

Mark Russell has participated in and coached Action Learning Sets and has a wide-ranging experience of working in many different types of businesses and industry sectors.

He believes that these experiences taught him the importance of proper planning and preparation and the extraordinary results that can be achieved through teamwork, co-operation and learning by doing. After completing his MBA in 2003, Mark set up Oakhill Consulting and then joined forces with Rick Peet to establish AVN Picktree Business Strategies.

I can't offer you a cast-iron guarantee.  But then nothing is certain in life (except death & taxes!).

But I will offer this...

Here's The Best Part - The Price of Your Investment!

When we work with private clients we charge a minimum £1,500 per day. The business owners were willing to pay these fees because the profits and tangible benefits they generate far outweighed the costs.

Now on PROBIZ Edge™ you get access to exactly the same facilitation knowledge and expertise for a fraction of the cost.

You'll be working with a small group of other business owner-managers like yourself.

And you'll be meeting for six half day workshops every six weeks or so with the sole aim of working on your business to take it to a whole new level of growth and profitability.

If you want to take your business to new levels of prosperity, this could be for you.

But be ready to get real and get serious. It is not for the faint of heart.

We'll do "hot seats" brainstorming, tough questions, hard choices and real hands-on, get-it-done work.

And the cost for just £997 plus VAT.

I’ve set it at this price so that joining is a no-brainer! If you’re serious about your business, the programme is essential for you.

Once again - that's a six session programme to create a dynamic business growth system that will transform your business quickly to the next level for just £997 plus VAT (six monthly payments).

The price includes the costs of the venue (including refreshments, access to learning resources and programme facilitation.

And remember I spoke about bonuses. Well, here they are...

SPECIAL BONUS ONE

Michael Gerber's best selling book and audio CD The E-Myth Revisited is required reading for anyone thinking about starting a business or for those who have already taken that fateful step. The title refers to the author's belief that entrepreneurs - typically brimming with good but distracting ideas - make poor businesspeople. He establishes an incredibly organised plan, so that daily details are scripted, freeing the entrepreneur's mind to build the long-term success or failure of the business. You don't need an MBA to understand or follow its directives; Gerber takes time to explain buzzwords and complex theories. Written in a clear and well-paced manner, The E-Myth Revisited is like receiving advice from an old friend.

SPECIAL BONUS TWO

Simple Stuff That Works (SSTW®) is a software programme that you can load onto your computer that is designed to help you grow your business, increase your profits, and make everything you do more successful.

 

Worth £195 + VAT, SSTW® supplies you with the ideas, experiences, skills, knowledge and expertise to grow your business. And you have the confidence to make these ideas yours because they are all proven, tried and tested by some of the UK's most prominent, forward thinking, owner-managed businesses.  We have then managed this information so it is not only applicable for the type of business the idea's originated from, but can also be adapted to any type - to your type - of business.

  • Increasing prices to attract MORE customers;

  • How to work with your ideal customers and lose the others;

  • Creating, chasing and converting more sales leads;

  • Reducing your customer defection rate so that you grow even faster;

  • Getting customers to spend more AND spend more often;

  • Discover your Unique Selling Points;

  • Educate your customer to buy your products/services. 

SPECIAL BONUS THREE

An opportunity to use The Inspirational Leadership: Insight to Action Tool to help you understand and get the most out of your natural leadership styles and strengths.

 

During 2004 the DTI, partnering with the Chartered Management Institute, conducted one of the largest ever studies of workers in the UK to ask them what inspired them to follow leaders. The Inspirational Leadership: Insight to Action Tool is based on these research findings and its purpose is to enable leaders to be clearer about their most natural leadership styles and strengths so that they can shape their roles and those of their team accordingly. The emphasis is to raise awareness of strengths in leadership.

What are the risks?  Is it too good to be true? 

Don't make that decision until you have spoken to me to find out more.

Well, what are you waiting for?
