TOUKER SULEYMAN

THE CLOTHING KING


IN THE DRAGONS DEN

ALASTAIR COOK MBE

THE ENGLAND
CRICKET CAPTAIN

HOW HE BOUGHT HAWES & CURTIS FOR 1 AND


TURNED IT INTO A MULTI-MILLION POUND BUSINESS
In 2000, Touker Suleyman bought the luxury menswear
brand Hawes & Curtis for 1. Today, the brand is free
of debt, boasts a 21m turnover, and has stores across
Britain. Now a star of the BBCs Dragons Den, Toukers
story is one of determination to achieve his goals no
matter what challenge stands in his way.
After arriving in the UK, when
Touker wasnt in school he was
spending his time working in the
family restaurant where, through
the inspiration he gained from
his fathers work ethic, he learned
many of the values he maintains to
this day: hard work, determination
and always making time for family.
Toukers interest in retail and
manufacturing developed early
in life when he purchased his
grandmothers clothes to sell onto
her friends. This soon become a
business and in 1976 Kingsland
Models, a clothing manufacturer,

was born, eventually supplying the


likes of C&A and Topshop.
As a young businessman driven
by a burning ambition to quickly
grow, Toukers rawness and naivety
would see him descend to the
depths of desperation. Following the liquidation of one of his
companies, Touker was forced to
sell off his home in order to repay
debts.
Toukers extraordinary resolve saw
him bounce back with the ladies
wholesale business, Low Profile,
and later he purchased the British
menswear brand Hawes & Curtis,
transforming the ailing business
fortunes.
In 2008, Touker added British
womenswear label `Ghost, and
alongside his active portfolio of
investments and media career, the
Touker Suleyman story truly is one
to inspire.

As Englands all-time record Test run scorer and


a multiple record breaker, Alastair Cook has
become one of English sports most celebrated
figures, and as captain of the side since 2012,
he has led teams in some of the most hostile
environments the game can offer.
Through a combination of outstanding ability and a talent to
lead his team through the most pressure-filled situations across
the globe, Alastair has earned a reputation as being one of the
games most distinguished and resolute captains.
But with the great honour of captaining
your country comes unique pressure;
Alastairs role is rarely out of the public
eye. His position is perpetually the
subject of great interest and scrutiny
from the media and public alike,
whether its for his playing,
captaining or selection of the side.

Building The Ultimate Sales And


Marketing Machine
Too many businesses hit an income ceiling, and
never make the kind of money (or the kind of
impact) that they are capable of. They get stuck at
one of the three plateaus: survival, stability or even
success. And this is not because of inadequate
information about what the really successful
companies out there are doing! It is because of an
inability to identify the simple actions and core strategies that need to be implemented to create
an ultimate sales and marketing machine in
the business

With results like that, its little wonder


that Shweta Jhajharia has been the
recipient of such a consistent and
high level of recognition on so many
occasions; and now is your chance to
benefit from her expertise. Included
amongst her achievements are the
prestigious awards for Global Best
Client Results in 2012, and Fastest
Growing Coaching Business in 2010,
finishing above over 1,000 coaches

Before starting her ActionCOACH

Networking is a fantastic business


tool but only if youre talking to
the right people!

The Dragons Investment Show is a brand new


concept which allows audience members to
vote on the pitchers and their presentation
before and after Dragons in/out declaration!
If you wish to receive investment offers from
our multi-millionaire Dragon Investors, come
and pitch in the Dragons Investment Show.
Moreover, by attending or by joining London

business advice, mentoring, and marketing tips
from our already successful multi-millionaire
Dragon Investors. After all, who can provide
better business tips and advice than those
who already have created a successful and
profitable business?!

Talking to every person who comes your way


is inefficient because you never know if that
person is the target you need to connect with.
Moreover, you can talk to a maximum of 10
to 20 people then give up and leave, whether
youve found the right connection or not!
Therefore we have a solution: we offer a real
speed networking opportunity, where you can
get a microphone on the stage and in one
minute say the most important things needed
for efficient and productive networking!
Simply say your name, what you are looking
for and what you offer; this way only the right
people approach you!
Dont forget about our wall-of-fame, where
you can put your details if you are looking for
investment OR put notes for finding projects to
invest if you are an investor.

hopefuls pitching for investment

Anti-Pitch is a brand new concept for the

given the opportunity to have their business
interrogated by a panel of experts, where
their concept, marketing and financials are
explored, and if any weaknesses are found,
they will be brought to light.
The winner, as decided by the crowd and

FUNDING CLINCS:
1-2-1 BUSINESS &
FUNDING ADVICE

Join us in the Angels Den theatre,


throughout both days for 1-2-1
advice on your business and the
funding process.

Angels Den is an angel-led crowdfunding


platform where angel investors and
experienced business people invest in
pre-vetted SMEs. Investors often play an
active role in the business, providing the
initial funding, expertise and contacts to
drive growth. Once a lead investor is on
board, Angels Den opens the funding to
other angels and the crowd, who have
the security of investing alongside an
experienced lead investor who ensures a
fair deal for all.
Since Angels Den was founded in 2007,
they have changed the rules on angel
investing and led the way in making
investment truly accessible to great

businesses with strong growth


potential and provided a fast-track
to business funding.
Angels Den has now successfully raised
finance for over 170 businesses through
their pitching events and online equity
platform. Angels Den understands
that having an active angel investor on
board increases the chance of success
and, as a result, over 90% of their
funded deals are still trading. They
have an established network of over
12,000 angel investors, between
them offering a wealth of experience
and a proven track record of getting
great businesses funded.

Too many businesses hit an income ceiling, and never


make the kind of money (or the kind of impact) that they
are capable of. They get stuck at one of the 3 plateaus:
Survival, Stability or even Success.And this is not because
of inadequate information about what the really successful
companies out there are doing! It is because of an inability
to identify the simple actions and core strategies that need to
be implemented to create an Ultimate Sales and Marketing
Machine in the business.

MBE for services to business and entrepreneurship, Shaa
Wasmund inspires positive action with her no-nonsense,

Too many businesses hit an income ceiling, and never

are capable of. They get stuck at one of the 3 plateaus:
Survival, Stability or even Success.And this is not because
of inadequate information about what the really successful

to identify the simple actions and core strategies that need to
be implemented to create an Ultimate Sales and Marketing
Machine in the business

DATA BREACHES CAN


HAPPEN TO ANY BUSINESS
All companies rely on critical business data in order to succeed.
Organisations may face overwhelming financial liabilities if they lose
sensitive data and they need knowledge to protect and recover lost
data, otherwise data breaches will continue to cause problems.
How much does a data
breach cost a business?
Organisations may face insurmountable
financial liabilities if they lose sensitive data.
Data breaches can result in direct costs such
as reimbursement to customers and data
recovery costs but even worse is the damage
to reputation, as most customers would stop
dealing with an organisation in the event of a
security breach.
There are five reasons as to why an
organisation, including SMBs, may be on the
brink of a data breach.
1. Employee negligence
Employees are a companys biggest asset, but
they are also a weakness. The top reasons
for SMB data loss were employees opening
attachments or clicking links, leaving systems
unattended, not changing passwords and
visiting restricted sites. This negligence puts
business critical data at risk from cybercriminals
and malicious insiders.
2. SMBs arent protected adequately
The majority of SMBs cant do enough to
protect their data using the measures and
technologies they currently implement.
Most SMBs believe that they do not have
enough protection in place especially as data
breaches are normally detected accidentally.
Not only are organisations at risk of hacking
and compromises, but in fact in more danger
of employee maliciousness or negligence.
Around 60% of organisations believe they need
to re-architect their security infrastructure by
focusing on outside in and inside out protection
as they do not encrypt or safeguard sensitive
business data.
3. Employee mobility
may cause a disaster
Mobile devices enable employees to access
data from virtually anywhere at any time, which
allows greater flexibility and freedom to the
workforce. The bring your own device (BYOD)
age is here to stay. As more and more business
data is being accessed by mobile devices not
controlled by IT administrators, the likelihood of
data loss incidents will continue to rise.
4. SMBs fail to routinely backup data
Over 60% of SMBs routinely fail to backup
data. Combined with BYOD and employee
behaviour, lack of security protection and
threats to data are putting organisations at

great risk of a breach. Without automated


backups and recovery strategies in
place, businesses are at great risk
should a disaster strike. Around a third
of businesses do not have backup and
disaster recovery strategies in place.
Due to lack of resource and budget,
they would not be confident of avoiding
substantial downtime.
5. No enforcement of
security policies by SMBs
SMBs should ensure that data
protection policies are put in place and
communicated to everyone. Managing
and monitoring end-user privileges and
entitlements is an extremely important
security measure. Creating policies around
social media usage and using personal
email would be a huge benefit for
organisations, as most attacks occur after
falling for a social engineering lure.

What can you do to help your


company against data breaches?
Andrew Starr of OpenIP Ltd, believes
following these steps can protect
your assets and data:
Install and use effective anti-malware
solutions.
Protect your network by creating policies
via a firewall, such as a SonicWALL.
Use secure mobile remote access with
mobile device management for workers
who use mobile devices, to ensure that
data is secure when accessed away from
the office network.
Create complex passwords and change
these regularly the harder the key, the
harder it is to get into the network.
Speak with a trusted IT advisor, such
as OpenIP, who can strengthen your
IT security to develop and implement
strategies.

Daniel Wagner

PASSIVE RECURRING
INCOME PARTNERING
WITH AMAZON
Expert Success, founded by
Daniel Wagner and James
Watson, are on a mission to
empower people to make the
income they really need to live
the life they actually want.
Arriving in the UK in 1995, Daniel worked
his way up from delivering pizzas in Slough
to founding and running Europes largest
Amazon Business training and mentoring
company. His businesses turn over millions
a year at industry-leading profit margins and
he has set out his vision for success in four
books, including the Amazon bestseller:
Wealth DNA.

Daniel and James own


Amazon Business, which
sells their own brand of
supplements using existing
high quality products,
already makes more than $1
million in its second year
Together with his business partner James
Watson and a team of 12 mentors, he has
delivered hundreds of events in the UK and
abroad showing over 20,000 people in the
last 18 months alone how to start and build
a successful Amazon Business. These events
range from short previews through two day

106

Momentum booster workshops to the


yearly Amazon Millionaire Summit. The
first Summit, held this year in London,
attracted over 1000 attendees from
13 countries. Daniels vision is to make
his teachings and knowledge available
worldwide using online training courses
and mentoring. In 2016 he is planning
to expand into the US market.
The Amazon opportunity is, in Daniels
own words, the greatest of my lifetime.
This is better than any job and better
than any business model Ive ever
seen. Daniel and James own Amazon
Business, which sells their own brand of
supplements using existing high quality
products, already makes more than $1
million in its second year.
Daniel is an engaging and entertaining
public speaker who currently holds the
Guinness World Record for the longest
team speech. Expert Success vision
to help others extends beyond their
members and together they have raised
over 150,000 this year for charity
through various projects.
Daniel says he wants to empower
people to make the income they really
need to live the life they actually want.
So far this has meant that hundreds of
students from all backgrounds,
teachers to tilers to stay-at-home
mums, have raked in tens of thousands
of pounds with their own Amazon
Businesses using his fool-proof step-bystep method.

Visions got to be big, right? So when


we sat together one late afternoon
and asked ourselves what would be
an outrageous success
for this business, we came up with
our 2020 vision.
By the year 2020 Expert
Success has helped create
20,000,000 6-figure Experts
people who are recognised
within their market
as authorities.
We dont expect to do this all by
ourselves. Many of the Experts
we are working with are running
training and coaching businesses
themselves, so itll be a joint effort!
What we love about our vision is
that it is ambitious but achievable
and that it will help millions of
people lead better lives, generating
financial independence and
wealth for millions.

INCREASE THE #!?% OUT OF


YOUR WEBSITE CONVERSIONS
WITH WEB VIDEO
One2create is a fresh thinking
company focusing on business
growth. With everything under
one roof, from web design and
content marketing strategies to
video and animation, weve
got it covered.
Were in an age where everyone is constantly
on the go, where people want to know what
things are and how to do them in a click of
a finger. We dont have time to be trawling
through bucket loads of text and even if we
do, we dont want to. If only there was an
easier way to explain services, products and
processes oh wait, there is! Websites with
video have an 86% higher conversion rate,
so with that, we say its time to give web
video and animation a big warm welcome,
open arms and all.
Now dont get us wrong, we love the
good old traditional text to explain our
services, but lets face it, people dont have
time to hang around. You see, us humans
are becoming lazy. Now before you get
offended, answer this would you rather
read a page of text to get to what you need,
or watch a web video? Web video, we hear
you say? Great, were on the right page.
Creating a video/animation is a
straightforward way to get a complicated
idea across to your customers. Yes your
copys tone can say a lot about you as a
company, but it doesnt come close to how a
web video can express your personality and
values. With web video, you can connect

stand out from your competitors, too.
Search engines absolutely love video
content, getting your website to where
it needs to be and it also improves
email marketing campaigns. Whats
not to like? You cant go wrong with
web video and animation. Its so much
more memorable and if youre on social
media (which you should be), your
followers will go crazy for them. Users
are far more likely to click on your post
and share it if it includes a visual.

With web video, you can


connect with your target
market in a way that no
other media can
An engaging web video will communicate
your message across to your audience
quickly and concisely. Did you know
that brain of yours processes visuals over
60,000 times faster than text? Yep, you
read that correctly, 60,000! Thats less
time your customer spends reading and
more time to talk business with you.
Incorporating web video and animation
takes a unique approach to your business
and transforms how you communicate
with your audience. Not only is it easy
to implement, but its cost-effective too,
saving you money and time. You can
tailor it exactly to suit your company, so
it reflects your values, as well as your
personality, which is a big bonus for both
you and your audience.

Incorporating web video and animation


into your website will transform the way
others view your products and services.
Dedicate your time and money to a
creative web video that your customers
will love and watch the web

Business Advice
Marketing and Business Services
New Business Opportunities

tuart Griffiths, CEO of True


Telecom - the UKs fastest growing
broadband, mobile and telecoms
service provider - offers insider tips for
SMEs looking to save on their telecoms
bills.

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE


FOR ALL

It can be far more cost and time efficient to keep your broadband, mobile
and telecoms billing togethermake
sure your provider is offering telecoms
bundles, along with capped rates and
low recursive charges.

A UNIQUE AGREEMENT
FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Businesses should consider opting for a


provider who can construct a bespoke
agreement based on its unique
telecoms requirements, as this will
ensure that no unnecessary charges are
made and the business is getting the
most use out of its agreement, as one
size doesnt necessarily fit all.

FOCUS ON THE PERKS

Often, telecoms providers will offer hidden perks to their agreements, which,
if used correctly can save a significant
amount. For example, free calls to
frequently called numbers can be useful if your client base is concentrated,
whilst free calls between landline and
mobile numbers (if they are covered
in a telecoms bundle) can also save in
communicating with suppliers or field
sales staff.

A SPECIALIST SERVICE

With a range of telecoms providers to


choose from, ensure that any agree-

ment is tailored to your business size.


For example, as True Telecom specialises in telecoms solutions for SMEs, they
are well placed to offer advice based
on practical experience constructing
a cost-effective strategy to suit your
business type.

USE ALL YOUR TOOLS

When making short or internal calls,


look to harness all the communication
tools at your disposal, including instant
messaging, email or free chat to get
your information across. These alternative communication products will
ultimately save your business money.

STAY SENSITIVE TO
YOUR USAGE

Keeping a close eye on your business


telecoms usage can save you a considerable amount long term, as too many
active lines or unnecessary features in
your office can result in inflated bills
at the end of each month. A good
provider should allow you to downgrade your agreement to suit your
changing requirements.

ALWAYS LOOK FOR A


PRICE GUARANTEE

SMEs want to take out a telecoms


contract safe in the knowledge that
there will be no nasty surprises down
the line. Consider a provider that offers
a price guarantee or a robust price rise
policy, to protect your tariff for the
duration of the contract.

FUTURE-PROOFING YOUR
BUSINESS

Its important to ensure that your telecoms provider is consistently providing

innovative solutions to drive your business forward. From low cost IP solutions
to new technology or agreement types
to suit your business, look for a provider
with a proactive approach to upgrading
your systems to stay at the forefront of
changing telecoms technology.

THE REAL VALUE OF


INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS

In choosing a provider with a wide


product portfolio and ability to offer
integrated solutions, small business can
benefit from multiple discounts in one
place, including cost savings on mobile,
broadband and calling charges.

A SECRET WEAPON AGAINST


PREMIUM NUMBERS

As SMEs can waste a lot of money calling customers or suppliers on expensive numbers, it is important to make
savings where you can.
Visit saynoto0870.com to find alternative numbers to help cut your calling
costs dramatically (although as the site
is crowd sourced, tread carefully with
sensitive numbers).
The True Telecom team is here to offer
you advice on how to keep your costs
at a minimum.

and setting up Direct Debits.

7 KEYS TO SELL TO WOMEN


Business is about relationships
and men and women relate
verydifferently; some would
even suggest that they inhabit
different planets! Here are my
seven keys to selling women,
helping you to sell to women
like women not men!

Key One: Women have so much


more verbal capacity than men.
This is seen in business, when you keep
having the same women asking and
asking questions and reading as much as
they can about you and what you have to
offer and talking it through with you.
Key Two: ALL THE DETAILS!
The best way to illustrate this is through
storytelling. You know that stories bypass
the logical part of the brain and go
straight to the heart, and that buying is

an emotional decision? The thing is, is that


men just want you to get to the point, to
the bottom line, whilst women want ALL the
details! All the details is so much more than
what men want, even when a lady is busy
her skinny version, ofthe story has way too
much fluff for a man.
Key Three: SHE SHARES
INSTINCTIVELY (shes all about we,
we, we!)
So, how this shows up when you are selling to
women is that when you are selling to them,
just understand and appreciate that you are
selling not just to her but to her team, or
tribe of girlfriends, colleagues and family. As
she is rarely just thinking about herself, its
always in the back of her mind: This would be
so great for so and so, I must remember to tell
them about it!
Key Four: MORE TIME AT THE START.
Typically, women need much more time at the
start of a business relationship to go through
the details and the benefits of your product or
service. They need to know and understand
pretty much everything and need to know

Women prefer to have the facts and figures about your


business wrapped up in an emotional story, especially a
transformational one, whereas men typically prefer cold-hard
facts and figures with as little emotion as possible!

much more than men that the support is there


if and when required, how much and how
often, too!!!
Key Five: FACTS AND FEELINGS
WRAPPED UP IN AN EMOTIONAL
STORY.
Women prefer to have the facts and figures
about your business wrapped up in an
emotional story, especially a transformational
one, whereas men typically prefer cold-hard
facts and figures with as little emotion as
possible!
Key Six: BUSINESS IS PERSONAL
FOR WOMEN, i.e. relationship first,
business second.
This can be tricky for some to get. You see,
women typically talking with others about
their families, their animals, their diets, their
exercise plans are all her way of building
a relationship with you, to see if you are
someone she actually likes and trust and
wants to get to know, and do business with!
Key Seven: SHE VALUES THE CHANCE
TO GIVE YOU FEEDBACK
Women just love the chance typically to
give you suggestions and feedback on your
products and services. Maybe its quite simply
because when they start their long process of
getting to know you and like you and trust
you they talk about you to their tribe or team
and so out of those chats come up with little
bits of feedback, which for you and your
business are like gold dust!!

CREDIT ASSESSMENT:
WHY PERSONAL IS BETTER
Automated credit assessment tools are rapidly becoming commonplace
in personal and commercial finance. The two main benefits are response
speed just minutes to allocate a score and, by reducing staff numbers,
a reduced overhead. Why would a modern, innovative company forsake
technological progress?

The move to computer says no


assessment by the banking and
finance world is something that many
businesses wish had never happened.
Our borrowers have told us how much
they value the ability to talk directly to a
human being throughout the process.

Crowdlending is at the forefront of


modern financial technologies, bringing
borrowers together with crowds of
individual and institutional investors.
FundingKnights business loan platform
went live in 2012 and it is continually
updated by our in-house tech team.

Our method requires more involvement


at our end, and the borrower will need
to give some reasoned thought to their
position, but we believe the extra effort
is worth it.

Instead of automated assessment, we rely


on an experienced team of credit analysts
to evaluate each potential borrower. As
well as credit scores, they look at a variety
of factors including the experience, depth
and quality of the management, the way
the business is capitalised, the general
balance sheet structure and liquidity,
trading performance, cash generation and
cash management.
So why dont we just use automated
methods?
The data used to drive automated scoring
is almost always retrospective. Some of the
key constituent data can be really quite
old. As such, this methodology gives a
strong insight into where a business has
been, not where it is now. Even this can be
unreliable as there are many factors which
it does not take into account. A company
can easily appear much less creditworthy
than it really is or much more.
We dont think its surprising that a loan
provider should be more interested in
where a business currently is and where
its going than where it was a year or two
years ago. Its the future cash generation
that will see the loans repaid, after all. Our
approach is designed to identify companies

with a sound financial footing, the


ability to deliver consistently and a
strong management team.
To do this, our credit team makes
use of years of experience and a
whole range of tools. Some of these
are entirely human. For example, we
personally speak to every company; this
phone interview enables us to better
understand the managements attitudes,
what their business ethos is, and how
committed they are. These things
are strong indicators of a companys
trustworthiness, but no computer
assessment would ever be able to
quantify them. All this together provides
us with as complete a picture of the
company as possible.

Crowdlending is at the
forefront of modern financial
technologies, bringing
borrowers together with
crowds of individual and
institutional investors.
Responsivity
Once a borrower has been approved,
we have the agility to tailor our offering
to suit. For example, we will lend
amounts we think are realistic and
affordable given our analysis, not simply
a set proportion of turnover or profit.
We can also be more flexible when it
comes to repayment schedules.

FundingKnights aim is to fuse the latest


developments in financial technology
with a human approach to finance taking a holistic view of a business to
get the best results for our customers.

Weve seen many


instances where a
companys credit score is
completely different to its
actual creditworthiness.
In one case, a profitable,
well-run company was
astonished to find out
how low their score
was. It turned out the
information held by the
credit agencies was out
of date and therefore
misleading. By simply
updating this, their
score recovered almost
overnight. Regardless,
their loan application
at FundingKnight was
successful and the
process was so simple
they have subsequently
returned for further
finance.

STARTING UP A BUSINESS:
HOW EXPERIAN CAN HELP
YOU ON YOUR WAY
People start their own business for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps theyre
looking for more freedom, or want to get off the job treadmill, or
maybe they just feel ready to take on the challenge of running their
own company.
Whether youve just had a great idea that
you think might work, or whether youve got
an established business, at each stage of the
journey there are likely to be challenging times

finances and the way you manage them.
This is where Experian can help not only

understand your customers financial profiles.
Before you set up in business
Before you set up on your own, its important
to make sure that your finances are in shape.
At this stage, your business doesnt have a
credit history, so lenders will judge you on
how youve managed your own finances, in
order to assess your creditworthiness and the
risk factor.
Checking your Experian credit report and
score can give you an indication of what
kind of loan you might get, in case you need
to apply for credit at some point. Usually, a
higher score means youre seen as lower risk
meaning youre more likely to get credit, and
at better rates. Many people will be using their
own money to get started and may have to
live on a reduced wage while they get things
going. No-one can be sure if your venture will
turn out to be profitable enough to live on,

Business contacts and simple word of mouth

right decisions at this stage is crucial, and the
ability to assess the creditworthiness and risk
factors of those you may be working with is
important.
Experian can help you with a number of

Expanding your business once it has acquired
a foothold in its market may require some
investment, whether its more physical goods,
more advertising or simply a more professional
or larger working space.
With options for increased finance ever

boost your business credit report, so that you
can show your business in the best possible
light to lenders and investors.
To that end, Experian has developed

information your business lenders use when
making a decision.

and needs to expand beyond its local base,
Experian Business Express can help companies

with their current customer base, making
marketing more targeted and helping
to increase the chances of winning new
contracts.

PPL is a not-for-profit company which licenses
recorded music on behalf of 75,000 performers and
record companies for use online, in broadcast and
for those businesses that choose to play recorded
music to their staff and / or customers as part of
what is known as public performance
Peter Leathem is CEO of PPL. Previously he was a
partner for eight years with law firm GSC Solicitors,
where he was head of the Intellectual Property
Department.
Peter is also a director of VPL (the music video
licensing company), UK Music and the British
Copyright Council.

HOW RECORDED MUSIC


CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS
Peter Leathem, CEO of the not-for-profit music licensing company PPL,
gives his views on how recorded music can bring numerous benefits to
business. PPL is at the forefront of promoting the financial and emotional
benefits recorded music brings businesses, through MusicWorks, the joint
research initiative with PRS for Music.

Research shows that businesses choosing


to place music at the heart of their
customer experience are reaping numerous
benefits. Music has the power to transform
businesses and can add real value to any
workplace, including a boost to the bottom
line.
In a recent study we undertook in
conjunction with a leading travel brand,
we found that 81% of customers agreed
playing music helps increase customer dwell
time. Over half (51%) of customers said
they would spend more time browsing in a
store playing music, while in the hospitality
sector, 69% of consumers said they would
spend more time in the public areas of a
hotel if music was played increasing the
potential for making those all-important
sales. In another previous study, 76% of
businesses also agreed that music could
help to positively influence the behaviour
and purchasing decisions of customers.
Background music has grown to become
an integral part of the customer experience,
helping to reflect a range of emotions and
needs for both staff and customers two
completely distinct audiences. Taking into

consideration the needs of staff as well


as customers when playing music can
help boost employee productivity and
retention rate: 75% of businesses agreed
that allowing staff to listen to music helps
team working and bonding while 61% say
staff are more productive when music is
played. In the pubs and bars sector, 80%
of managers believe staff would complain if
the music was switched off. In fact, 98% of
staff stated that playing music would make
them feel more motivated while working,
and the same number agree that playing
music improves staff mood.

Background music has


grown to become an
integral part of the customer
experience, helping to reflect
a range of emotions and
needs for both staff and
customers two completely
distinct audiences.

Music is also imperative to creating


the right atmosphere and help to build
a loyal base of returning customers.
Research shows 91% of managers
/ business owners either agreed or
agreed strongly that playing music make
customers happier. A resounding 72% of
respondents think no music would make
the atmosphere less welcoming.
Playing music also helps give a brand an
advantage in a competitive marketplace.
Research shows that in retail, businesses
that play music are perceived as modern
and appealing places to shop. In fact, it
can be argued that in an age where even
more shoppers are turning to the Internet,
you need to create a bit of retail theatre
to inspire those all-important purchases.
The genre of music played is also a key
consideration - 88% of respondents
stated they would prefer to listen to music
by recognisable performers rather than
sound-alikes, highlighting the value and
appreciation for original artist music.
Over the years we have seen there is
a growing understanding of musics
value within the business community,
which in turn helps us explain the role
music licensing plays in supporting the
wider creative economy. Given the wide
reaching benefits it can bring, music is an
important consideration for any business.
All we ask is that any business using music
is legally compliant by obtaining a PPL
licence, ensuring that all those who invest
their time and talent in making recorded
music are paid fairly for their work.

NO TWO CLOUDS ARE THE SAME!


We all know hosted telephony, of a kind, has been around
forever. BT Centrex in the 1980s was hosted telephony. Mobile
phone services, you could argue, are hosted telephony. And
hosted telephony services enabled by IP telephony kit vendors
are, of course, hosted telephony.

The UK is experiencing huge


market demand for cloud
telephony and with NFON
you can be assured of a world
class service. NFON is one of
Europes leading cloud telephony
providers and always puts its
customer first. Our standardsbased technology was developed
with customer service in mind.
We have over 150 built-in
functions as well as a wide
range of value added service,
and we offer real-time live
technical support, all for a great
price. Nows the time to make
the switch to the cloud, and the
NFON Cloud Telephone System
makes it painless to do so.

NFON
The next-generation
telephone system.

There are contentions and parallels


between all of those kinds of hosted
telephony.
Firstly, theyre all as cumbersome as each
other, in terms of service flexibility and
complexity. Secondly, their pricing can be
pretty steep and hard to decipher for the
buyer - try adding in the bonus features
youll need and youll get the point. Third,
they tie users into long-term contracts
and commitments. Finally, theyre usually
closed and proprietary systems, making
it expensive and complex to integrate
with the wider world of personal
communications of the sort that smart
phone users take for granted.
It appears on the surface the only
difference between the traditional PBX
solution and hosted telephony is the
location of the hardware! In short, until
pretty recently, these traditionally
accepted hosted services made it easy
for PBX vendors to compete, and thats
reflected in the early market stats.
However, in the context of the modern
communications environment, both PBX
solutions and old-style hosted telephony
systems are competing not just with
each other, but with a new breed of
cloud telephony.
Real cloud telephony services are
disrupting similar, if not the same,
offerings. For example, flat end user
pricing, which delivers simple and
sophisticated features, plus desktop and
mobile options within a single, affordable
license. All services and updates are
immediately accessible at the point of
activation across all customer bases, and
the end of the extended contract can also

be seen! For example, NFONs customers


benefit from being able to renew their
licenses on a month-by-month basis,
scaling up and down effortlessly.
Could you refer to cloud telephony as
just another app on the network? Yes, on
reflection you could because to the end
user thats exactly how it feels. However,
if youre selling a PBX solution, then you
can sell cloud telephony stand-alone (i.e.
without having to also sell other cloud or
hosting solutions). It just becomes your IPT
or UC app, enhancing your portfolio of
telephony services. And if you are a data
solution reseller, then you can sell it standalone as your telephony solution which
nests very nicely with your other cloud and
hosted services.
While cloud telephony does pretty well
stand-alone, its also brilliant at integrating.
For instance, NFONs system integrates
effortlessly with Skype for business
(formally Microsoft Lync). This means the
business users favourite communication
client uses NFONs cloud telephone system
for calls with the outside world, using full
PBX functions and features, and the Skype
for business cloud to reach other Skype
users.
And is there enough choice of base
platform? Maybe thats a question better
suited to the traditional hosted vendor.
The beauty of cloud telephony is that
you dont need to invest in any kind of
platform. Ongoing costs are significantly
reduced too - no outlay on expensive
hardware, very competitive calling costs,
and the ability to grow with your business
are just some of the main reasons why
cloud telephony is taking the march over
traditional PBX.

ZigZag have created a cloudbased system that can control
all the day to day aspects
of your retail, wholesale or
manufacturing business from
your customers, through to your
purchase orders, and all from
just 49 per month.
Using the power of the cloud and their
experience in a number of industries, the
latest version of ZigZag is an ideal off the
shelf system for small to medium sized
businesses, easy to use and with no setup
costs. Whether you are a new business or
an established company, it makes sense to
transfer to the cloud.
ZigZag brings together everything you need
to sell your products or services. Starting
with your customers, the simple customer
input, or for initial set up, the import tool
allows you to monitor your customer
sales, credit account and all your customer
contact details. Each module can be linked
through ZigZags easy to use diary system
and share information with your colleagues.
Once you have your customers, you need
to have a product to sell to them. That can
be as easy or as complex as you need with

ZigZag. A simple product can be set up in a


few clicks and you can get placing orders in
minutes. If your product has options, thats
not a problem for ZigZag and if they have
different prices, the system has that covered
as well.
The ordering on ZigZag brings together your
customers and orders, and then links to the
stock control system so you can allocate
your stock to your orders. If the item isnt in
stock, you can allocate it to your stock thats
due in, or if you havent any on order, it can
create that purchase order for you.
Once the order is ready, create your delivery
notes and put onto a delivery run with your
other orders. ZigZag will even give you a
map that has route guidance and estimated
times for deliveries.

ZigZag have partnered with Go Media,

websites so all your ZigZag data can be
displayed beautifully on your interactive
e-commerce store without having to
enter data twice, and if your customer

THE IP SME FOR SMES


Vault IP is a specialist intellectual property firm which has been set up
to assist SMEs to secure protection for their intellectual property.Being
a small firm with low overheads, Vault IP is able to offer lower
professional fees than many IP firms.
Vault IP was set up in 2014 by Phil Sanger,
offering patent and design services.Phil has
now been joined by a co-director, Michelle
Bishton, enabling the firm to extend its
services to include trade marks.
Vault IP is the antidote to the traditional law
firm. The core values of the business are
based on the needs of clients. Our approach
is totally flexible- your commercial objectives
are our priority and we promise never to
use sleep-inducing boilerplate letters. Every
piece of advice is tailored to you.
Our professional fees are much lower than
other law firms because of the tools we
use- secure cloud computing and a fully
paperless office mean that our overheads
are rock bottom. This doesnt mean we
compromise on quality (our deadline
monitoring systems and client file storage
are secure and reliable) - it just means that
were working smarter.
We proudly fly the flag for SMEs in the
UK and we are in a unique position to
understand the challenges of forming

134

and growing a company because that is exactly


what we are doing.We, therefore, have a
real insight into how small businesses are run
and the challenges they face. For example, we
understand that bills of unpredictable size and
frequency are unhelpful.
We offer flexible pricing structures. We
appreciate that many companies are fed up with
the sound of the clock running every time they
pick up the phone to their attorney. As such,
our fees can be agreed in advance and we have
fixed fees, rather than vague estimates, for many
stages of the patent, design and trade mark
process, which makes it easier to forecast your
IP spend.

Services offered by Vault IP include:


Patents
We specialise in securing protection for
your inventions. We will work with you to
identify the inventions in your new products,
undertake prior art searches, draft and file
patent applications and manage them through
to grant in the UK, Europe and overseas. For
larger portfolios we offer full management,
including regular reviews and detailed cost
projections
Trade marks
Every business has a company name, logo
etc. which it uses to build goodwill and
enable consumers to identify its goods or
services. Anything which enables consumers
to differentiate goods and services of one
company from those of another is known
as a trade mark. To protect your company
adequately it is recommended that registration
is sought. We can conduct searches for
prior rights, prepare suitable specifications,
file applications and deal with objections or
oppositions on your behalf, as well as offering
ongoing maintenance services in relation to
your trade mark portfolio.
Designs
The caped crusader of IP designs are an
inexpensive and fast way to protect the
appearance of your products. The Community
Design provides five years registered
protection across the entire EU, with no
examination process. Registered designs can,
therefore, be secured in a matter of weeks
with no long-winded prosecution process.

SalesSeek - Bringing together


essential sales and marketing tools
for growth-focused businesses.
Our design-led platform provides
contact & deal management,
email marketing & automation,
forecasting, task management,
web analytics, and social
monitoring in a fresh and visual
web application.

SalesSeek is helping
organisations scale their
revenue generation by
providing context to
relationships and the
tools needed to attract,
and engage with a
growing customer base.
Meet us at The Business
show this December. Get
a live demo at Stand 652.

In todays world of digital marketing, search engine optimisation, and


pay-per-click advertising, its easy to discount face-to-face encounters
such as speed networking, events and networking groups. One thing
weve found is people are more willing to trust a product if theyve
met the people behind it.

In our experience, the strongest leads


are through our personal connections,
customer referrals and those we meet
at the various events we attend. So why
do we like speed networking so much?
Practising your pitch Theres nothing
quite like doing it live to 20+ people
to refine and perfect your value
proposition.

How Can You be Most Effective?


Exchange business cards before each
conversation. Thisll save time and allow
you to move to the next person quickly
when prompted. Bring 40+ cards with
you; theres nothing worse than running
out of cards at a networking event!
Always keep your last card with you so
others can take a photo of it.

Meeting Prospects
We regularly meet people who would
like to try and buy our product through
speed networking sessions.

Speak Clearly. Take Your Time


If you have the right pitch, 60 seconds
is plenty of time so you shouldnt need
to rush.

Create Advocates
Even if your product isnt right for them,
if you solve a problem theyll refer
others to you.

You must have a clear message for


them to easily identify the value your
company provides. Then you can usually
continue the conversation after the
session ends, or follow up by email and
phone post event on how your business
could help them specifically.

Continue networking, stay in touch


with the people you met via email and
connect across social media.

RELATE!
If youre speaking second, relate your
company to the business of the person
that youve learned about. They then
know you were listening, making your
value proposition easier to understand
and more likely to pique their interest.

Gain Feedback
Some of the most honest feedback
weve had comes from people weve
only spoken to for one minute - they
dont feel bad about hurting your
feelings.

the strongest leads


are through our personal
connections, customer referrals
and those we meet at the
various events we attend.

Prepare a 60-Secs Elevator Pitch


You only have one minute to talk about
your product. Make it count.

Introduce yourself
What? Describe your proposition in
15 seconds.
Who is it for? Whos your target
audience?
Why should people buy from you?
Which problems are you solving?
What value do you offer?
Is there a particular service you
would like to focus?

You may also want to allow some time


for the other person to ask a couple of
quick questions.
Keep a Record
Post event, use a CRM tool like SalesSeek
to help with the follow up. If youre
doing a lot of networking its essential
keep a record of who youre meeting and
what youve learned about them.
Follow up after the event

Scan all business cards using the


World Card mobile app.
Export them from the app to a CSV
file and send to your email.
Use SalesSeeks upload tool to
import them into your visual CRM,
including the lead source.
Send a bulk but tailored email to
them the day after the event.
Last but not least: keep momentum.

Start calling those whove opened the


email and clicked through the links. They
are showing real engagement with your
proposition.

GET SMART WITH YOUR

two thirds of small and micro employers
dont know the exact date they need to
comply with the new pensionrules. This
could mean that these businessesrisk
some very considerable fines imposed
by The Pensions Regulator...from 400
up to 50,000 or even a two-year prison
sentence for failing to comply with the
legislation.
A solid workplace pension makes good
commercial sense a survey by The
Pensions Regulator showed that a good
pension scheme is the second most
valued benefit to employees. But setting

WHAT MAKES ORGANO GOLD


PRODUCTS SO SPECIAL?
Organo Gold is a member of the Organic Trade Association, who
promote organic trade to benefit the environment, farmers, the
public and the global economy; and Ecocert, who inspect and advise
companies on ecologically responsible, environmentally sustainable
and global compliance in the organic sector.
What makes Organo Gold products so
special? Its a little known ingredient
called Ganoderma lucidum, a fungus
used extensively in Asian medicine.
These mushrooms are unique in that
they grow on wood, mostly out of large
trees (living or dead, the mushroom
doesnt mind) in forests in the more
tropical regions of Asia. With long
brown stems and orange-coloured caps,
they are a spectacular sight, but they
can be hard to see in the wild because
they grow in such heavily forested
areas. Organo Gold sources only the
finest quality Ganoderma, grown on
undisturbed logs high in the Wuyi
Mountains of Chinas Fuzhou region.
For thousands of years, Ganoderma
lucidum has been recognised by
Asian medicine as the highest ranked
of all herbs. The Chinese name for
it is Lingzhi, which means spiritual
potency. The Japanes name, Reishi,
can be translated as the King of

For thousands of years,

Herbs. The most renowned doctor


of the Ming Dynasty, Dr Shi-Jean
Lee, wrote in his famous book Great
Pharmacopoeia (Ban Chao Gang Moo)
that Long-term taking of Ganoderma
will build a strong healthy body and
assure a long life.
Organo Gold is the only North American
company who has partnered with the
largest certified organic Ganoderma
plantations in the world to bring this
treasure of life to the Western world.
In 2009, Organo Gold and its partners
celebrated the groundbreaking of their
$240 million Gano Herb Industrial Park,
the largest of its kind in the world. Our
agricultural and food scientists start
off with only organically grown
Ganoderma. Employing the latest
technologies, they gently dry, sterilise
and process the mushrooms from a
tough, wood-like cap into a fine powder
using only natural processes.
Once the Ganoderma mushrooms have
been transformed, they are added to
the Organo Gold family of products,
including:

CEO AND CO-FOUNDER


OF FORCEMANAGER
CEO and co-founder of ForceManager, Oscar Maci, founded his
company from his experience in sales management. ForceManager has
achieved great success and is now a leading competitor in mobile sales
management with well-known clients such as Vauxhall, Pirelli and BASF.
Oscar is an experienced, sales-orientated
manager and entrepreneur. With his wealth
of knowledge in managing technology startups and sales teams, he was able to develop
a software that helps companies fast-track
their sales.
Working as a sales manager, Oscar needed
more transparency through his sales team
so everyone could understand exactly
what was happening and how they were
performing. Since there was no such
software available, he first set up a tool
that asked his sales force to directly report
all their activity. However, all the reporting
took them away from actually selling.
Not long after that, with the support of
Oscars colleague Xavier Bisbal (co-founder),
ForceManager was launched.
They took their passion for delivering the
best, most user-friendly experience to
develop a unique mobile CRM.

ForceManager facilitates and improves the


performance of sales teams by instantly
measuring and analysing all sales activity. It is a
smart solution for sales reps who work out of the
office, allowing them to focus on selling through
automatic reporting, on or offline, anytime,
anywhere. The app is available across multiple
platforms and devices, including smartwatches.
ForceManager has transformed from small startup to leading competitor in sales management
in just a short space of time. This rapid growth
has seen ForceManagers impact spread globally
to over 15 countries, with offices already open in

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF


A MISSION STATEMENT?
Profit is not the legitimate purpose of business. The legitimate
purpose of business is to provide a product or service that people
need and do it so well that its profitable. - James Rouse
Why is a business purpose or mission
important? Is a business purpose just
as important for a small business as it
is for a large corporation? This brief
article will address both these questions.
Clarifying your business purpose is
essential whether big or small. A
powerful business purpose gives you
and your team clarity, direction and
focus, a reason for being. The purpose
or mission is the compass of the
organization, keeping it focused and
heading in the right direction.

Dells mission is to be the most


successful computer company in the
world at delivering the best customer
experience in markets we serve

The difference between the mission


statement and a vision statement is
that a mission statement focuses on a
companys present state while a vision
statement focuses on a companys
future. Here are some examples:

Here are some coaching questions to


help you clarify your business purpose:

Apple is committed to bringing the


best personal computing experience
to students, educators, creative
professionals and consumers around the
world through its innovative hardware,
software and Internet offerings.

3.

Googles mission is to organize the


worlds information and make it
universally accessible and useful.
Whats interesting about all these
leading organizations mission/purpose
statements is that they are all focused
on meeting customer needs.

What products / services does your


business offer / provide?
Who are your target markets and
what are their needs?
What customer needs does your
business meet?
Why does your business exist?
A business purpose can never
be fully realised; it has the ability
to last forever, even if products
and services change, the business
purpose stays the same.
Define your business purpose

THE
SCIENCE
BEHIND
SALES
Sales are contingent upon the
attitude of the salesman not
the attitude of the prospect.
W. Clement Stone
In todays economic climate, delivering a
strategic sales campaign is essential for
any company looking to tower above
tough competition in the business world.
For Nicola Hartland, founder and CEO of
Xcel Sales, the key to securing new clients
in a tight market place is having the
correct team of skilled professionals to
deliver a first-class marketing strategy.
Telemarketing conjures up thoughts of
unwelcoming sales calls in the middle of
an evening meal, or the endless messages
for PPI claims or personal injury awards.
Sales are the lifeline of any business.
Lead generation is often seen as being
grubby, but it is essential part of keeping
the sales pipeline flowing.
At the heart of any business is its
brand and identity, but often this isnt
identified, causing companies to lose out

Xcel Sales works with high


profile clients based in the UK
and across the globe in a range
of industries including oil and gas,
financial, IT, and legal sectors.

in the bid to become a success, she explains.


The one thing that all businesses need is
customers. Without them you simply dont
have a business and its the sales function that
is responsible for delivering this.
Ms Hartland, who has 15 years key industry
experience, started her career in IT sales,
quickly rising to lead a sales team generating
over 2.5million a year for her employer.
In 2012, taking inspiration from a magazine
article about sales, she set to work to create
her own bus
iness, establishing Xcel Sales in 2013.
The stories in the magazine took me back to
the world of professional selling. I thrived on
the buzz and excitement of securing multimillion pound contracts in my previous role
as head of business development, and the
articles truly inspired me to establish my own
business.
Xcel Sales works with high profile clients
based in the UK and across the globe in a
range of industries including oil and gas,
financial, IT, and legal sectors, using the four

key areas of planning and strategy; social


media; data management; lead generation
and telemarketing to get the best results for
clients.
The business, which employs a team of highly
skilled agents, is fast becoming one of the
UKs leading new B2B business acquisition
agencies, thanks to its close working
relationship with clients.
Preparation is key to representing our
customers in a professional manner and
allows us to be equipped with all the right
information to answer any question or
objections. At Xcel Sales our process starts
with building a clear picture of a business. We
call this our discovery phase and we use it to
plan sales strategies and set clear expectations
on both sides, she explains.
In the last 12 months, Ms Hartlands hard
work and determination to change the
perception of telesales has seen her double
the size of her company and generate over
10million of pipeline opportunities for her
clients.
For me it is about delivering ROI for clients,
not just about sales, which is why it is so
important to deliver a quality service.

A COMPLETE LIMITED
COMPANY FOR 5??
PO Boxes.com are offering limited companies for 5, and
its being launched at this show. But is it possible?
Start-up costs appear to constantly go up
and up, but POBoxes.com claims to be
able to reduce at least one of these costs
significantly. But how?
Well it really is very simple and down to
a very clever cross selling opportunity
developed by the brains behind the rapidly
growing mail service business. You see, as
part of your business start-up costs you will
need to factor in company set-up, address
management and mail handling all timeconsuming but essential jobs and if we
are completely honest they are the tedious
part of a start-up! However, POBoxes.com
seems to have come up with a user friendly
solution which could actually work in startups favour.

POBoxes.com seems to have


come up with a user friendly
solution which could actually
work in start-ups favour.
When a new start-up, or in fact any
business, sign up for one of the mail
handling packages on offer with POBoxes.
com for a minimum of 6 months, you will
be invited to form a fully-fledged limited
company of your choice for only 5. Yes,
thats right, 5 and not the usual deal from
other companies of around 30!
Well lets consider this looking at POBoxes.
coms website, a Darlington Light User
scanning account is 66 for 6 months; for
this outlay you will get a mail handling
service at a street based address with real
people looking after your post. Your new
address is personalised to you and if you
choose to form a company for 5 you
can use the address as your companys
registered office address. This is a huge
advantage as it keeps your home address
and in some circumstances your trading
address out of the public domain. Your post
will be scanned and uploaded to POBoxes.
coms secure server, leaving you free to deal
with it whenever and more importantly
wherever you are!
POBoxes.com seems to offer the most
competitive mail handling services currently

156

available in the UK today. The Darlington


address is an incredible deal for this type
of service especially as you can use this as
a registered office, and they also offer a
London address too. Once signed up you
have access to their free mobile & tablet
friendly app which really does give you
complete control over your post.
If, however, the thought of someone else
opening your post is a concern and in
this day and age of identify fraud who
wouldnt be concerned? POBoxes.com has
invested heavily in their Internet and webbased security, all scans are encrypted, your
mail is discreetly handled in their Darlington
office, and in fact they are so proud of their
systems they openly invite their clients to
visit the mail handling office if reassurance
is required.
So yes, it would appear that it is possible to
reduce the cost of your start-up and increase
your business efficiency allowing you to
handle your business matters where and
when you want. So what are you waiting
for? Take advantage of this opportunity
before POBoxes.com realise they are actually
offering too good a deal!

HOW CAN I GET THE


PR I NEED FOR FREE?
Everyone always says I should
do PR - but what does this
really mean? RelevantNow is
spearheading a movement to
open up PR to everyone and
offers a website where anyone
can do it for free.
You dont always have the time or
resources to devote to marketing and PR,
but whats the point of doing what youre
doing if no one knows about it? This
was the issue that Laura Lomer and Gaby
Riley, two PR professionals, set out to
solve with the creation of RelevantNow.
Recognising the media landscape has
changed dramatically and journalists
prefer to hear directly from source, they
wanted to find a way to match clients
with a story to interested media.
They soon realised that many people
faced the same hurdles; a lack of
contacts, a fear of writing and very little
time. In addition, some people were
paying large amounts of money to

agencies and were unable to justify


the expense.
And yet, says Laura, a former journalist,
who has also worked for top-10 PR agencies
and as Head of Communications at the
Science Museum, PR is not a difficult thing to
do. How could we develop something
that could benefit journalists and
businesses alike?
Bringing in Carolyn Wharton, a data expert,
they formed their comprehensive media
contacts into a customised database which
now covers a broad range of sectors including
hospitality, technology, arts, fashion, sport
and more.
They created a website where anyone without
experience could do their own PR. Our
process couldnt be intimidating, explains
Gaby, who had previously run her own PR
agency working with individuals and small
businesses. The website would need to
include lots of guidance as many people will
be approaching PR for the very first time, so
they would need reassurance, as well as plenty
of examples.

RelevantNow is already creating excitement.
Many early users are getting national

immediate sales, says Andrea Cohen, CEO of
Number35, and in future RelevantNow will
be our first port of call for all PR activities.
Clients stories have appeared across
the media including the Daily Telegraph,
Independent, Guardian, Mail on Sunday,
Metro, InStyle, Huffington Post and the BBC.
There are also products that enable you to
plan a PR programme across the year. PR
is a marathon not a sprint, but it doesnt
have to hurt! We have designed it so you
get reminders on when to send info at the

ideas on what to publicise, or attend our PR
workshops and meet experts, says Laura.
Sending out stories on RelevantNow is free.

THE AGE OF THE STARTUP:


CLOUD STAFFING
With so many businesses taking to the cloud for IT infrastructure
solutions, isn`t it time you used the cloud to its full potential for
staffing solutions too? Forget about traditional methodologies: this is
the age of the start-up.
Want to start your own business? No
problem: todays global virtual landscape
gives you the power you need to succeed
with minimal start-up and extremely lowcost overheads. Now anyone with a great
idea can start a business and get the solid
backing of a professional workforce without
any long-term commitment or concerns
about salaries, pensions, offices or other
traditional business hang-ups.
Having the right foundation for your
business is essential when youre starting
out, but that doesnt mean that you have to
spend thousands on letting an office, buying
office equipment for staff, and getting
the latest software and other traditional
essentials in place. Not to mention, the
cost of consultants or hiring full-time staff
members can make an enormous dent
in your new businesss bank account if
youre able to secure the funds in the first
place. Instead, embrace the latest trend
in global businesses both big and small
by turning to the cloud. Working virtually
with e-commerce or other online solutions
allows you to work from anywhere, at any
time. You can now run your business with

a 24/7 presence, and can grow your customer


base to reach all over the globe. Additionally,
you can make significant cost savings by taking
advantage of access to high-end professionals
who work remotely and come with their own
equipment on a per-hour cost basis thanks to
contemporary hiring trends.
With more than 4.2 million professionals
working virtually, more and more of the
nations skilled workforce is taking to the
cloud to offer professional virtual services at an
affordable rate. That means that you can get
access to designers, developers, administration
experts, copywriters, event planners, bookkeepers, operations professionals and more,
all on a per-hour and as-needed basis. This
makes a significant impact on your business

ARE YOU READY FOR


AUTO ENROLMENT?
The government has recently made it
compulsory for you to start a pension for
your employees. AtBPPS Ltd,we can provide
everything you need to know and do to set

The regulator will have the power to issue a fixed penalty of 400
to an employer, as well as escalating penalties at a daily rate. With
this in mind, Brooms Payroll and Pension Solutions Ltd are offering
advice on auto-enrolment, from the initial consultation, to the
implementation, payroll and more.
Complexity removed with our auto-enrolment process
There are five stages to the financial planning process, each of
which is separately costed, although the initial consultation is at
our expense:

DowSocial are committed to helping companies


define an effective digital marketing strategy for
their business - so we are offering everyone 30
free digital marketing tips.
These are on a range of different topics and can
be downloaded at www.dowsocial.com/30days

DEFINING A
DIGITAL MARKETING
FRAMEWORK
Statistics from Smart Insights
suggest businesses are still
dipping their toes in the digital
marketing water. This is based
on the fact that 50% of those
using digital marketing do not
have a defined strategy for tools
such as social media, blogging
and email marketing.
Digital marketing has a broad definition,
but in the context of our companys
work it relates to the online presence of
a company excluding web development.
This includes social media, blogging,
video and email marketing.
Each area is its own discipline, nuanced
with different platforms and ways of
building visibility, trust and leads. Finding
the right path to success can be difficult
for business owners to navigate with so
many different choices and areas that
investment could be made.
The Importance of Strategy
Without a defined strategy it can be
inferred that these businesses lack
confidence in the ability of digital
marketing to deliver results. Either that or

they lack time or knowledge to formulate and


implement an effective strategy.
Digital marketing is no different than any
other business discipline. If a company invests
time and resources into a project then a
return is expected. This allows a business to
determine the level of investment in capital
and resources to achieve these goals.

unique to each individual business. It will


depend on the companys overall direction,
whats being sold and who it is being sold
to. By asking the right questions, the right
channels to use, as well as how, and how
often to use them can be determined.

If a project is started or proceeds without


a coherent strategy then it can be hard to
measure success and ensure the optimum
return on investment (ROI) is realised.
Some of the 50% of companies without
a defined digital marketing strategy may
experience a positive ROI, but without the
strategy and measurement it may be hard to
define why/how to improve.

Step 2 -Define Measurable Key


Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Defining a Digital Framework


for Success
As a digital marketing professional, theres
nothing more rewarding than helping a
company understand digital marketings
potential and turning that into a deliverable
actionable plan.
When consulting with companies we use
a five step framework to ensure digital
marketing success.
Step 1 - Devise a Digital Strategy In
Line With Marketing Objectives
The right digital marketing strategy will be

Digital marketing is no
different than any other
business discipline. If a
company invests time and
resources into a project then a

A successful strategy will define what success


looks like. In order to measure development,
targets need to be set for the strategys
different aspects.
These can be reviewed and measured to
ensure things are on the right track, if not,
then adjustments can be made.
Step 3 -Create a Content Plan
Creating an action plan sets out what digital
marketing activity will take place, when
it will happen and who is responsible for
it. By breaking this down on a monthly,
weekly or even daily basis there is a focus on
accountability within the team.
Step 4 - Assign the Right Human
& Technical Resources
Social media, blogging and email marketing
are complex disciplines that require knowledge
and skill to implement effectively. Whether
in-house or externally its important to assign
the right resources with the right knowledge
for successful implementation.
Step 5 - Review and Refine Regularly
Digital marketing is constantly evolving which
means the strategy should too. This will be
in reaction to changing trends or progress
against KPIs.

HELPING SMALL
EMPLOYERS THROUGH
AUTOMATIC ENROLMENT
AND BEYOND
Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association recently
launched Pension Solution to help small employers
meet their automatic enrolment needs. Join us now as
a Pension Solution member to access the simple and
straightforward online service.
Automatic enrolment is so far
proving to be a pensions success
story. Employers have taken the
opportunity to breathe new life
into their pension arrangements
and employees have been
overwhelmingly supportive, with opt
out rates much lower than expected.
Since 2012, more than 5.4 million
workers have been automatically
enrolled into a workplace pension by
almost 61,000 employers. But fewer
than 5% of employers have so far
automatically enrolled a molehill
in comparison to the mountain of
the estimated 1.8 or more million
employers, representing 90% of the
UK workforce, still to go through
the process by 2018. So its fair
to say a significant challenge lies
ahead.

Many small employers soon


to go through the process will
have never before offered their
employees a workplace pension
scheme and wont have the
internal capacity or expertise that
many larger employers enjoy to
take the nitty gritty details of
automatic enrolment off their
hands. So its vital the government
and the pensions industry makes
automatic enrolment as simple and
straightforward as possible if we
are going to succeed in getting the
nation saving.
The Pensions and Lifetime Savings
Association, formerly the NAPF,
knows that automatic enrolment
is an important but daunting task
for small employers with limited
resources. To help them we have

launched Pension Solution, an


online service designed to take
the hard work out of automatic
enrolment for small employers who
are implementing a workplace
pension scheme for the first time.

Employers have taken the


opportunity to breathe
new life into their pension
arrangements and employees
have been overwhelmingly
supportive, with opt out rates
much lower than expected.
Pension Solution offers busy small
business owners a step-by-step
guide on how to get set up with
automatic enrolment written in
the language of small business
owners, not technical pensions
jargon. They will also receive

templates for communicating


with employees, as well as a
comparison of major providers
to help them choose a scheme
that best suits them. The
comparison tool combines
objective information on
eligibility, fees and pension
quality mark status, with ratings
submitted by other employers
who have used the providers
500 employers have already
added their views.
Automatic enrolment is without
a doubt the best chance of
getting the UK into the habit
of saving for retirement, but
as the hard part begins, the
pensions industry must focus
on making the process as easy
as possible for small employers.
Pension Solution does just that
check it out now at www.
pensionsolution.co.uk.

Pension Solution helps by providing:












A step-by-step guide to setting up automatic enrolment

IS THIS THE
BUSINESS WORLDS
BEST KEPT SECRET?

Hundreds of UK businesses have seen their sales and


profits soar this year as a direct result of training theyve
received at the UKs leading business training centre based
in Birmingham.
Over 13,500 delegates have experienced the training which
covers all aspects of business growth.

It seems crazy that our training is making such a difference


to businesses owners and their bottom line, yet so many
businesses dont even know about it, says Hannah Chalkley
who heads up the Entrepreneurs Circle Training Academy.
To help put that right, the Academy has introduced a Match
Funding programme for attendees at The Business Show.

There are 300 Match Funding places available, explains


founder Nigel Botterill, and the impact on those 300
businesses next year will be stellar.
Theyll be able to get the business owner and/or the staff
skilled up in all the areas that will make the biggest difference
to their growth and our unique Annual Pass combined with
the Match Funding makes it a tiny investment.
The UKs Best Business Training
The Entrepreneurs Circle Training Academy is based in
Birmingham near the NEC, and delivers nearly 90 different
courses on pretty much any business subject you can think of.
There are courses specifically for business owners, but also
courses for your staff to make sure your team are skilled so
your business achieves its goals. The courses are all delivered
by genuine experts in their field and are 100% practical. As
one delegate said last week, This is world class training of the
highest quality.

Unique Unlimited Annual Pass


In 2015, the EC Academy pioneered the TEAP Training Event Annual Pass - whereby business
owners could invest in a season ticket for unlimited
training for them and their staff.
With a TEAP you can attend unlimited courses
for 12 months and save s on your training
investment.

ANIMATION IS A POWERFUL
BRANDING TOOL
Is your business looking to really engage its audiences and make a
lasting impression? Then a one minute corporate animation is your
marketing tool of choice. What other asset can resonate as quickly or
induce such instant action and need to share with others?
Mention the word animation and most
people smile its a bit like saying ice
cream, it takes you straight back to your
childhood and that goodwill translates
easily onto your brand.
Done well, an animation is something
memorable, that explains what your
business does in a snap, and if its
moving, beautiful or funny enough it will
automatically get shared virtually by your
audience into their own communities,
thereby doing your brand story promoting
for you.
With animation you can explain the most
complex methodology, take the viewer
with you and jump back into the past or
fly into the future, be represented as an
alien or even a centipede. Whether its
motion graphics, kinetic typography, a 2D
infographic style, using 3D characters or
even stop motion there is a solution to
meet practically any budget.
For any sized business, an animation can
become your elevator pitch for new
business, but also enables your internal

176

team to easily articulate the brand. Why not


incorporate it into your induction or sales
training programmes and re-use it in a myriad
of different ways like having it on all email
signatures as a mini company advert, broadcast
with each missive?
There are a number of stats around the power
of video, such as the fact that online purchases
are 64% more likely when website visitors
have just watched a video on the product
or the brand. And many diverse B2B and
B2C industries are finding a real advantage
to marketing in this way, such as off-plan
real estate agents or architects who can use
3D technology to help their target audience
visualise and fall in love with a space that hasnt
yet been built.

We are all time poor and feel we need to


digest the most information in the least
amount of time, whether at the office or on
mobile, and a corporate animated video is
an engaging solution that clearly distils the
brand or product story in a memorable way.
Whereas a website has four seconds to grab
the attention of an online visitor, a video
increases to 10 seconds. And you can show
and say a lot in a 10 second animation to
hook in your audience.

There are many marketing tools out there, but


few are as immediate, emotive, multipurpose and
memorable as a one minute corporate animation!

The Journey
May we take you on a journey? Picture
the scene: you watch your team as they
return to the office from a training day.
They are energised; they have lots to say
about yesterdays session. This is novel as
they tend to be cynical about training.
You are astounded to hear the operations
team discussing another day; a highly
pragmatic and direct team who tell you
that the best part of the day involved
role plays. Another group of managers
are bouncing ideas off each other about
different MBTI preferencesyou might
just need to be sure you remember them
yourself!
Ah yes, was this just fun or have they
got something practical to apply? you
ask yourself. Indeed yes and whats
more is that they are pestering you for
support to help them progress. You
have a coaching session with the trainer
who is helping you manage your teams
development. Its a very different picture
from a year ago.

We maximise variety with


innovative or surprising
exercises. Our goal is always
to engage learning through
experience, not through slides.
The Impact
Now move forward several months. Your
team are doing things differently. People
see things from different angles and
challenge both themselves and the status
quo in a constructive manner. Looking
at your business, you observe how this
is having a positive impact on your KPIs.
You also remember from the training
how important it is to catch people
doing things right. You therefore decide
to spend time giving genuine and specific
recognition to what your team did well.

STAND NUMBER 308

Yes, this might seem far-fetched, but


these are exactly the type of reactions and
behaviours we generate with our approach to
training. We maximise variety with innovative
or surprising exercises. Our goal is always
to engage learning through experience, not
through slides. Secondly, we focus highly
on follow-up, supporting businesses to
implement changes that last.

Einstein)
A year from now, you will wish you had
started today. (Karen Lamb)
The greater danger for most of us is not that
our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it
is too low and we reach it (Michaleangelo)

Latest 2015 Feedback:


This has been the most liberating course I have ever embarked upon.
It has also had a profound effect on how I think and act in everyday
life.
Paul was really good over all four days. I enjoyed the programme
and took a lot from it.

Since starting the programme, my communication skills have greatly


improved. I loved the entire programme and am sad its over. Paul is
an excellent trainer who held our attention and made it interesting
and enjoyable.
I am now much more confident at managing my team.
Great training that always goes quickly.

GetSet for Growth offers fully funded support to help ambitious

When you first start your business, that start-up phase is said
to be the most difficult. However, there is always something
to do and there seems to be plenty of help to hand. But what
next? How do you take your business to the next level?
Every year, hundreds of businesses, just like yours, hit this
growth ceiling. They dont know what to do next. It may be
that they dont know how to find more customers or that they
need to take on more staff before they can look for more
customers. It may be that they need finance to move into new
premises, create new products, buy new equipment or just
help to manage cashflow as they grapple with the financial
pains associated with growing a business.
Through a flexible and tailored programme, including workshops,
masterclasses, 1:1 advice and mentoring, we work to build your
knowledge, skills and confidence. Our team of experienced
marketing and finance professionals, many of whom have run their
own businesses, help you develop robust business growth plans,

GAMIFY YOUR SALES


PERFORMANCE
How do you motivate your sales team? Contests
run through spreadsheets and whiteboards? Who
often wins these contests? Chances are its consistently your top performers. And no surprise theyre great at what they do. But what about the
rest of your teame? A small motivational push in
the right direction can have profound impacts on
sales performance but it can take a lot of time and
resources to make this happen.
Thats where Spirit comes in. Spirit is a revolutionary engagement and incentive platform engineered to drive performance in sales teams. Drawing inspiration from fantasy football leagues,
employees can draft their own teams of coworkers
who all earn points for meeting metrics set by you,
promoting engagement, healthy competition and
awareness of coworker performance. Lets move
away from the individualistic mindset sales teams
are notorious for and into one of teamwork and a
collaborative work ethic.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN GAMIFY?


Gamification is a concept taking the world by storm. Defined
as the application of game design techniques to non-gaming
contexts, its all about motivating and engaging users to
achieve an objective or goal. We believe Spirit has the capability to revolutionise the way sales contests are ran by promoting
a team-first mindset which gets everyone on the same page.
Gamification has seen use in a myriad of sectors around the
world: education, health, retail, recruitment and plenty more.
Its impact thus far in sales and other business-related environments has been minimal, but were about to change that.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

- Popular fantasy football inspired


_contest design
- Endless customisation options
- CRM integration
- Modular bolt-ons: sales training,
employee feedback etc.
- Minimal contest management
_time
- Promotion of collaborative culture
- Raises your bottom line

WHO ARE YOU?


Were Stormburst Studios, a team of games developers with
experience working on several internationally successful
mobile titles. Games have a lot of power and theyve been
captivating audiences for decades. We believe that now is the
