Seminar being hosted by Rebecca Weaver of Gumshoe UK

Customer service is vital towards the building of any business

With businesses constantly competing for new custom, it can be difficult to keep an eye on your quality of service. It can also be easy to forget about your existing clients. This is one of the biggest mistakes businesses make, as it costs more to obtain new clients than it does to retain your existing customers.
By increasing your service quality you will build customer loyalty, grow your reputation for good quality, and of course, increase your profits.

This seminar will teach you the importance of delivering high class customer service and how to perform basic benchmarking tasks to help build customer loyalty whilst increasing your profits, all at the same time.

GumshoeUK is an independent consultancy offering hospitality management advice for the hospitality industry and licensed trade. They have the knowledge and resources to assist in your business.

Their consultants have a successful track record in both business and hospitality and are committed to providing service and market analysis to our industry.

They realise that each business will differ from one another, from a large chain restaurant to a small guest house. If you need advice they can help.

Driven by the desire for excellence and a passion for the industry, GumshoeUK can offer you easy management solutions made understandable, workable and most of all realistic.

What people are saying about GumshoeUK

"I am writing to you following the recent “mystery call” project that was so successfully carried out on behalf of the Buckerell Lodge Hotel, Exeter by GumshoeUK.

My original expectation was that we would ascertain how well or badly we were handling calls regarding our Christmas arrangements but the report we received far exceeded these expectations. Both the content and presentation of your findings were of a very high standard.

I would particularly comment on the professionalism that was shown throughout and the summary and recommendations that were given gave us an excellent training tool which we have already used. We have been able to identify training needs as well as give some “pat on the backs” where appropriate.

As a result of the training that was identified, we have already converted some enquiries that would probably have disappeared and the team feels much more confident.

Jonathan Alder of Alder and Alder

Build to deliver: Questions and answers

Our workshop is for any business that is experiencing, or anticipating, 'change' within their business or their sector. Through an interactive session, businesses will learn how to make the most of the opportunity that change brings, by using their brand more effectively.

Some examples of 'change' a business may be experiencing are:
• Launch of a new product or service
• Change in focus of existing service or product
• Acquisition of another business
• Change of target market
• Arrival of new competitors
• Change in customer behaviour

But we are really interested to know what the changes are in your business and the challenges that you're facing. What do you want your brand to do for you? We've started a discussion on the Business Network SW group page on LinkedIn, to give you the chance to tell us what you want to hear. So go on online and ask a question. We'll bring the answer!

In the seminar we'll run a series of short, interactive exercises to help you find those answers. Well help you to understand what your brand is and what it can do for your business. You will learn how your brand can:
• Attract new customers
• Increase your market share
• Help you to retain existing customers
• Sell to your target market

Attendees will leave the seminar with a list of activities that will help them to unlock the value of their brand, and make the most of the opportunities that 2010 has to offer.

Unravelling the complexity of health and safety

Health and safety is something that every business in the UK needs to take very seriously – for their own good. But it’s no secret that for most people, health and safety is complicated, boring, stressful, overwhelming – or all of the above. In fact, the government recently identified this as a problem right around the UK.

And for good reason. There are literally hundreds of rules and guidelines to follow, so it can be confusing or overwhelming working out what needs to be done. But what you must not do is ignore this area of your business or get it wrong.

The good news is that, there’s a solution, or series of solutions, available for you right now. And if that’s music to your ears, you’ve landed on the right website.

The very reason that SURETEAM exists is to completely remove the stress of health and safety compliance from our clients.

After working with us you’ll have everything that you need to have your business up to scratch in areas which really matter, without the stress and tedious complication of having to do it yourself. And our guarantee to you is that we won’t make it complicated.

If you’re thinking generally about health and safety and how to get your business compliant then there’s no better place to start than here. Just ask and we can put together a special report for you, revealing the latest trends in health and safety as well as helpful tips on how you can work smarter towards being compliant.

Hosted by Inge Dowden of Polyglot Coaching

Polyglot Coaching was founded in 2008 by Inge Dowden. A polyglot is someone who speaks a lot of languages, and Inge is fluent in 6! She has a degree in International Business and spent 15 years working as an Export Manager, mainly in engineering.

After a divorce and a redundancy she took 2 years out, went to Italy to learn Italian, visited friends and family in Europe, travelled through Thailand for a month and ended up teaching English in Mexico. Her love for people, her interest in other cultures and her eternal optimism were a source of inspiration for many and once she returned to the UK, she knew that she wanted to help other people to be as happy and fulfilled as she was. She decided to become a life and career coach.

She qualified with distinction from the Coaching Academy, the UK’s number One coach training facility. She trained in Personal, Corporate & Executive and Small Business Coaching and as a protégé student she continues her personal development all the time. She is also a qualified NLP practitioner, which gives her the tools to facilitate effective change where required.

Specialist subjects:

change of career
taking time off (GAP or GUG – grown up gap – year)
work/life balance
confidence & motivation
financial coaching

Her open and honest personality make her the ideal coach: able to listen to and focus on the client, whilst being professional and empathic to ensure the client immediately feels at ease and in good hands.

"I would not hesitate to recommend her as a coach to others, as I feel she has a relaxed, friendly and professional style and makes you feel comfortable to explore often tricky issues, knowing she is guiding you through the process."

"I am deeply grateful to have been able to work with Inge. Inge was great in walking me through a period of great confusion in my life."

Inge works with other coaches to ensure that she is always able to offer a close match to what the client needs. So whether it is parent coaching or unhappy solicitor coaching you’re after, contact Polyglot Coaching and we’ll find the right coach for you!

Seminar Slot Available
The seminar/workshop/business briefing ideally is between an hour and maximum1.5 hours long. The room and coffee is provided by Business Network as is any equipment that you may require laptop, projector, and flip chart. (Lasers, dancing people etc would be at your own expense!)
Business Network will market the seminar to members and potential visitors and handle all the bookings. It will be added to the Business Network (SW) website along with your company logo/photo and a link to your website.
As a seminar host you have the opportunity of inviting customers/clients and potential customers and clients along. All they have to do is book (and pay for) their place with me and they will benefit from your seminar, networking with decision makers and lunch.
Feedback tells us that these are a great opportunity to showcase your expertise and also is a great way for fellow decision makers to understand more about your business and how it can benefit them.
