The Business
Seminar before lunch 

Hosted
by Colin Nicklas - Gameplans

"Goal
Setting and Motivation – Lessons from the Sahara"

It
covers;

  • The importance of setting goals
  • How to set usable goals
  • Understanding motivation
  • Dealing with challenges
  • Overcoming setbacks

At
the end of the session the delegates will understand all of the above, have
discussed the application of all the lessons in the toughest circumstances and
had an opportunity to question how they can apply those lessons in their own
business and personal lives.  They will be left with plenty to reflect on for
the future and a method of taking control of their own lives in a way that many
would not think possible.

Colin
is the founder and visionary leader of Gameplans. A Fellow of the Chartered
Management Institute, with a Diploma in Advanced Executive Coaching and 24
years’ experience of leadership as a Royal Navy officer, Colin is the
Development Director at Gameplans and heads up a team of experienced coaches. 
His Royal Navy career included front-line operations as a Weapon Engineer in HMS
Cumberland and HMS Sutherland and 3 training roles; as a sea-going
trainer/consultant for Flag Officer Sea Training. As the Deputy Head of
Leadership at the Britannia Royal Naval College and most recently as the
founding Commanding Officer of the Royal Navy Leadership Academy, responsible
for the life-long leadership development of all officers and ratings.
His final appointment was within the Ministry of Defence
in Whitehall where he worked as part of a small team developing strategic level
plans for the UK response to emerging events. During the “Arab Awakening” of
early 2011 he was responsible for developing evacuation plans for UK nationals
who have made their home in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as
providing advice to the the Prime Minister on the impact of the uprisings across
that region and on contingency plans for natural disasters and more widespread
unrest.

In recent years Colin has been  an active fund-raiser

The Business Seminar

Get your customers to spend more

Hosted by Karen
Dunne- Squire
- Managing Director of Sales Outsourcing Specialists

The seminar will be a really interactive session, each business owner
attending will leave with an outline sales process plan to run
their sales and customer service activity for the next quarter.

The session will include, 

  • understanding the customer journey, 
  • what activities you can use to influence their buying choices, 
  • how you can ensure the quality of these activities is high, 
  • what methods a business can put in place to ensure customer loyalty and
    referral business,  
  • how you can implement and measure your sales success. 

 People should come if they 

  • want to better understand how to response to their client's needs,
    i
  • increase the number of clients they have, 
  • increase the productivity of their sales force (whether that 'force' is
    them or someone else!), 
  • or generally make their business more sales savvy!  

“Karen is amazing, a true professional. She delivers + is a pleasure
to work with. I can't think of anyone I would rather have to recommend 
 V.P
Orchard St Business Ltd

I would say that it should be compulsory for anyone who is part of a
sales team (and that includes the managing director of course). You will come
away with an action plan that you can implement in your business straight away,
and that is guaranteed to make a big difference to your results.   I picked up a
new client a mere hour after finishing the course, using the techniques I had
just learned. Highly recommended!”  I.D Polyglot Coaching

29 February 2012 - The Castle - Taunton

Semianr Host - Milsted Langdon

“Running a Tight Ship – steering through choppy economic waters” which would
offer some practical ways to run your business better in these difficult times.

Milsted Langdon, originally established in 1989, now has offices in TauntonBristol and Yeovil. We act for, and with, owner managed businesses throughout the whole of the South West of England and beyond. This client base continues to grow steadily as a result of the quality of the compliance work we carry out, as well as our unique attitude, that focuses on the achievement of our clients’ goals.

With 16 partners and a team of approximately 170, spread across our three locations, we find ourselves large enough to deal with the needs of our most demanding clients yet small enough to care about our smallest. Our client base itself ranges from individuals and families in business to large commercial groups of companies. We understand that the needs of all our clients are of paramount importance, irrespective of the size of their businesses.

As a practice we are pleased to assist our clients through economic upturns and highs, as well as adverse trading situations. Maintaining a close working relationship during these economic fluctuations has rewarded us with long term loyalty from these clients and a bond seems to exist that is rarely experienced in a professional relationship.

As you would expect from a well established firm such as ours, the provision of an accurate and “value for money” compliance service forms the backbone of what we do, ensuring to the best of our ability that our clients conform to the requirements of current legislation. The same level of “attention to detail” is applied to the completion of an individual’s tax return, as is given to the audit of a listed company or to a family business with a turnover in excess of £200,000,000.

Whilst some of our clients still opt for us to carry out this compliance function only, more and more these days we are developing relationships where our focus is very much on the declared personal goals of the owners of the business. Whether these are to sell the business via the open market or management buy out, pass the business on to family members, take a back seat, or to simply “get through the current economic climate” in one piece – it makes no difference to our senior team members as these are all frequently occurring requirements.

Strategic planning, high quality tax advice, profit improvement planning, fund raising and monitoring progress during projects are all now part of the day to day life of the Milsted Langdon’s team members, who not only deal with the historical aspect of compliance with you but more importantly, help you realise your personal goals.
