 MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS & COMPETATIVE POSITONING (LESLEY)

In Ireland this is the least understood of the business xxxxxx. Without smart effective marketing sales doesn't have the guidance to sell correctly and the customer doesn't know what s/he is buying or why they should buy it! While you can delegate the function, you can't really delegate the passion and the vision, making it necessary for you, as the owner, to take command of the process and keep your eyes on it all along. We'll assess your products/service and help reposition your business to be more effective in branding, communications, market recognition

 SALES & CUSTOMERS

There's a sign that I keep on the wall of my office. It says simply, "Nothing happens until somebody sells something." In other words, sales are where your business begins. It's time to return to the basics and get back to selling and selling smart! Sales' are a critical in building a successful business. There's no more important component. It's the life blood of your company and creates positive cash flow. During the Celtic Tiger years generating sales was (for the most part) pretty easy. But now the customer is clutching that wallet tightly therefore we must re-train and re-energize our team and sell our products and services using those familiar tried but true sales techniques. Perhaps the sales team may need a refresher course, or maybe they need to go on sales calls with the business owner and hear his/her language of passion and commitment. It may be that the field sales people must have better communication streams with the in-house team. These are some of the categories within the sales arena that we'll address.

The customer is important!

• Highest customer loyalty companies grow at twice the rate of their competition
• Satisfying Customers without creating an emotional connection with them has no real value.
• Raising customer retention rates just by 5% could increase customer value by 25% to 100%?
• 5% Improvement in Customer retention translates into a doubling of margins (increase profits)?
• Loyal customers always return & become a dependable lifetime sales stream?
• Loyal customers brag about your service/product creating Word of Mouth advertising, the most effective advertising?

If you've good customers within your sphere of influence, we'll find a way to encourage them to buy more products or create new things to sell to them. Their loyalty should be recognized in a way that they 'feel' good about your business. It's as simple as that. Happy customers buy more stuff!

 IT, BACK OFFICE, SOFTWARE (BRIAN + RUAIRI)

Key to the successful and efficient running of any business is for owners and managers to have a clear understanding of their core business processes.

 WEBSITE DESIGN & INTERNET MARKETING (RUAIRI)

A modern website is essential to marketing your business effectively. Have you ever tried Googling a company and not found their website? Or worse yet, found the website and it's outdated, old or dysfunctional? You must make an impression with potential customers when they try to find you on the web. When they're not looking for you, you have to market and push your business to them, be it through Google and pay-per-click advertising or through other online campaigns. Rather than having yourself or your staff waste hours on the phone providing information to customers, why not provide that information online, freeing you to get on with more important matters? If you have an existing web presence we will assess its effectiveness and help you ensure that it is working efficiently for you. If you are not yet online, we will design and create the site to meet your needs and ensure you don't miss out on this huge market!

Our team members are excellent at building both excellent web designs but also correct online marketing of your website. Good web design, perhaps even more than other type of design, is about information, usability clarity and constancy. One of the biggest tools in your sales and marketing arsenal, when navigating a good design, the user should be led around the screen by the designer. Consistency means making everything match. Heading sizes, font choices, colouring, button styles, spacing, design elements, illustration styles, photo choices, etc. Everything should be themed to make your design coherent between pages and on the same page.

Keeping your design consistent is about being professional. Inconsistencies in a design are like spelling mistakes in an essay. They just lower the perception of quality. Whatever your design looks like, keeping it consistent will always bring it up a notch. Even a poor design will be improved significantly by making it consistent throughout your site.

Meta keyword Tags or Meta description Tags from your web page even though these Are not the main factors that search engines employ when ranking your site. The Meta description tag supplies a brief as well as concise summary of the contents of your web page while the Meta keyword tag supplies a summary list of the words on your web page that Are of much importance

 MANUFACTURING (BRIAN)

The Irish economy will not recover without a strong and vibrant manufacturing sector. The strength of our manufacturing sector is dependent on the efficiency and effectiveness of each of the manufacturing business operating within that sector. Operating in the high wage economy we now find ourselves in the only option for manufacturing businesses is to ensure they place Productivity Improvement Programmes and the centre of their business activities and make cost reduction part of every employees daily activity.

We'll conduct a detailed assessment of your manufacturing operations and set you on a route to achieve double digit productivity improvements in the shortest possible timeframe.
