This has created a flurry of activity for real estate agency business owners. While this level of activity can be good for business in the short term, business owners are aware that these conditions will eventually end. The savvy owner should be continuing to focus on business improvement, investing in self-development and development of the leaders of their business to drive long-term growth.
Some of the questions that business owners need to continue to ask include, should they be investing time and money into new systems? How can they improve business operations? How much should time should they spend on sales and marketing? How effective is our financial function at supporting our business decisions?
John has been running his own agency in Wembley Downs for five years and has worked hard to build up his brand. Over this time, he has built a team and the business is starting to generate good cashflow. Despite his success, John is not on top of the financial aspects of the business or his personal affairs, he feels like he is constantly paying taxes, his operations are overly manual, and his marketing and branding strategy has not evolved beyond the initial objective of building his personal brand.
This is a common challenge for small business owners that can cause the growth and potential of a business to stagnate. While John is a highly successful agent and has been able to grow the business on the back of his competency and personal drive, he lacks clarity as to what is now required to take the business to the next level.
We have worked closely with business leaders to understand these challenges and from this experience have developed a tailored program to address the needs of small business owners.
BDO’s 12-month Business Growth Program is designed for business leaders who want to optimise their business and achieve growth. The program delivers a successful framework for business growth. Participants are empowered to understand the financial impact of their business decisions. To achieve sustainable business growth, you must build on the foundations of business success and understand how to unlock the potential in all business functions.
Our program is hands-on and has immediate practical application for participants who not only learn the fundamentals but also apply them immediately to their business.
What makes this course different is the support that participants receive. We understand that business owners are juggling competing priorities and with so many balls in the air, it’s hard to stay focused. We connect you with a Financial Specialist who calls once a month to ensure you’re implementing what you’ve learnt.
