Business Growth Services

  • Deciphering

    Every business should operate in an efficient manner in order to compete and survive for the long haul. Being more efficient will help lower cost of goods and generate more profits. But where are you now and how do you get to a stage of efficiency across your operation?

  • Conceiving

    An idea for a business that includes basic information such as the service or product, the target demographic, and a unique selling proposition that gives a company an advantage over competitors. A business concept may involve a new product or simply a novel approach to marketing or delivering an existing product. Once a concept is developed, it is incorporated into a business plan.

  • Wireframing

    Starting a new project is in a lot of ways the hardest part. It’s the only stage of development that you’re turning nothing into something.

    Luckily, there are proven methods to reduce the “empty canvas” syndrome. We’ll talk about the best ways to handle the early stages of brainstorming and concepting and how it translates into wireframing to prototyping.

  • Designing

    Good quality design is an integral part of sustainable development. Design quality matters and that planning should drive up standards across all forms of development. As a core planning principle, plan-makers and decision takers should always seek to secure high quality design.

  • Developing

    Almost by definition, innovation relies on project management. Irrespective of whether the innovation concerns a new product, or a new process, or indeed a contribution to pure science, better project management, on the whole, will see a successful outcome reached more quickly, having consumed fewer resources.

  • Marketing

    For business owners market intelligence about their consumer base is an exceedingly important part of developing positive customer relationships, increasing leads, and creating a life-long customer base. Equally as important as watching your customers, though, is keeping an even closer eye on the actions of your competitors.

  • Mentoring

    A good mentor is available to answer any questions relevant to the job. Good mentor-mentee relationships are a two way street; consequently, if you want a good relationship with your mentor, become a good mentee. This requires a genuine interest in your mentor and a willingness to do what it takes to become successful.

What people who have worked with us have to say

Jess set up my mini eCommerce website to promote my new books and gave me advice on how to use social media and digital marketing to promote them. The new site looks well and has started to sell the books direct to customers. I recommend Jess if you want to get your business moving in the right direction.
