This quote pushes each business owner to have resilience, adaptability, and optimism. 💪 It suggests that rather than being discouraged by obstacles and setbacks, individuals should view them as opportunities for growth and advancement. By reframing challenges as stepping stones and setbacks as setups for success, individuals can adopt a positive mindset, overcome obstacles with determination, and ultimately achieve their goals. The quote encourages perseverance, creativity, and the ability to find opportunities even in the face of adversity.

Numerous business owners find themselves in a predicament where their entire budget is exhausted in product development, leaving little to invest in marketing during the crucial launch phase. 😥 Conversely, some dedicate so much time to perfecting their product that marketing becomes an afterthought. Consider the following guidelines for effectively marketing your new venture: 🚀 Establish an Online Presence: Whether your business operates from a physical location or not, a website is indispensable. Ensure your website includes essential information such as your business's location, operating hours, & offerings. Also, consider incorporating features for e-commerce if applicable. 🚀 SEO: After setting up your website or e-commerce platform, prioritise optimising it for search engines. This involves tailoring your content to match the keywords that potential customers might use when searching for your products or services. While SEO yields long-term benefits, don't anticipate immediate traffic, even if you've implemented the right strategies. 🚀Curate Relevant Content: Offer high-quality digital content on your website to address customer queries effectively. Consider incorporating various content formats such as videos, testimonials, blog posts & demos. Consistently generating valuable content should be a top priority. 🚀Utilise Online Directories: These serve as a primary resource for customers seeking specific goods or services. Ensure your business is listed in relevant directories & explore specialised directories tailored to your industry. 🚀Develop a Social Media Strategy: Recognise the significance of social media in your marketing endeavors. Engage with your audience by sharing content that resonates with them & directs traffic back to your website. While it's unnecessary (& difficult) to maintain a presence on every social media platform, prioritise platforms like Facebook & Instagram, leveraging their e-commerce functionalities. Here at Launchpad we can help you with ALL of the above - make sure you get registered with us & find out the various ways that we can support you! 💪💛 #marketing #help #launchpad #barnsleybusinesssupport
We are excited to run this really informative session for the first time! 🙌 Our workshop 'How To Sell To Another Business' will help you discover all you need to know to successfully sell your product or service to another business, using the 'consultative sale'. We will take you step by step through the best way to maximise a face-to-face selling opportunity, from initial greeting to closing the sale using the tried and tested SPIN model. You'll learn how & why businesses buy, how the buying process works, what buying signals are, how to handle objections, and when and how to close. 🤝 You'll gain an understanding of the different roles within an organisation i.e Decision Maker, Key Influencer, Information Gatherer etc and how to navigate your way through them to the sale. 💪 There will also be ample time to ask questions, and receive advice on any current sales/enquiries you have in the pipeline, that you're struggling to close.

Business finances can be one of the most daunting elements when starting up a business! 😲 Important considerations include: 🏦 Establishing a business bank account It's crucial to maintain separation between your business and personal finances, so research the best business bank accounts that align with your requirements. This account will handle business transactions such as supplier payments and customer invoicing. Additionally, consider obtaining a business credit card to assist with monthly cash flow. 💻 Accounting software Evaluate whether you'll require the services of an accountant or if suitable software is available. There are various software options available, most of which track expenditure and income, generate invoices, produce reports, and calculate tax liabilities. 👍 Insurance Insurance coverage is typically necessary for your business, even if it's home-based and lacks employees. Consult with an independent insurance broker to determine which insurances are applicable to your business and the appropriate levels of coverage for your specific needs. Don't worry if this has given you even more questions... Launchpad are here to help you get to grips with all of this. Our team of trained business advisors can help you step by step with a tailored plan for you, and many of our workshops focus on this part of business to give you the best chance of success! Get in touch today and see how we can help! 🚀 #barnsleybusinesssupport #launchpad #launchpadbarnsley #barnsleyisbrill #barnsleybusiness #socialmediasupport #growth #businessgrowth #businessadvisor #startupbusiness #hellobarnsley #BusinessFinance #MoneyMatters

This quote from American Businesswoman Marissa Mayer suggests that great opportunities often lie beyond our comfort zones. When faced with fear or uncertainty, pushing through those emotions and taking risks can lead to remarkable outcomes. It emphasises the idea that growth and success often require stepping outside of one's comfort zone and embracing challenges. By overcoming fear and taking bold actions, one opens the door to unexpected and extraordinary possibilities. 🚀 Ready to open that door? 🚪 Get in touch with Launchpad 👇 https://enterprisingbarnsley.co.uk/programmes/launchpad #barnsleybusinesssupport #launchpad #launchpadbarnsley #barnsleyisbrill #barnsleybusiness #socialmediasupport #growth #businessgrowth #businessadvisor #startupbusiness #hellobarnsley #startup
