Recipe for Success Workshops
The Recipe for Success series of workshops will focus on what you can do in your business to cope with a change in sales:. That could be due to the loss of a major contract, a fall in sales in general due to the recession or it could also be that business is booming. Rather than focus on selling, Survival Solutions will be looking at the back office functions or operational side of your business.
The workshops which will focus on utilising the resources in your business to their optimum, looking at cost reduction and analysis of sales and at improving cash flow by increasing efficiency in your business.

Workshop 2
Weighing up Costs v Sales
Have you considered who you sell to and what you sell? What about the margins on those sales—does the effort you put in to obtaining the product generate the necessary returns?
This workshop will provide you with ideas on areas to consider for cost-cutting. We’ll look at invoicing, collecting debts and improving cash flow.
It’s about making sure your costs are in line with your income and that you have access to the right financial and management information when you need it.
Workshop 3
Declutter Your Business Processes
Businesses change over time : clients change, technology changes and the product you sell changes.
Over time the processes you have in your business gather workarounds and additions, but often there is no time to stop and review them.
This workshop will explain process mapping, show you how to do it and help you generate quick and quantifiable savings.
It’s a faster way of doing business and you’ll not only reap the benefits financially but you’ll reduce stress levels and improve morale within the team.
