I have always seen accountants as a good route to market for my services but in many cases they do not like to engage with business advisors. By working with Business Advisor and using the VFD-Pro product I have been able to break down these barriers by providing accountants with something they can understand and see the clear benefits from. In turn VFD-Pro has highlighted issues in their clients’ business that need specialist advice and guidance which I am more that happy to provide!

The best part of the Business Advisor Programme was the clarification of the process and what it would mean for my business. A method to generate more business of the ideal profile, without having to spend money on conventional marketing. Referrals are always the best kind of new business, so to be able to save money on all the usual promotional methods and avoid the pains of cold calling and networking, whilst improving the client profile and therefore the bottom line, is particularly interesting.

I liked the accessibility and availability of the BA team to support my sales activity, which is very good. There is a good atmosphere about the BA team and associated advisors all of whom want to hep each other to succeed. I would recommend Business Advisor to anyone who is wanting to work with SMEs to help them uncover problems and opportunities. The tools that BA have are unique and will almost definitely create opportunities in every prospect that you meet.

Enquir3 made it easy for me as a consultant to recommend the client engagement process to my clients, because of their level of understanding; the fact that they know what they're doing and they can demonstrate easily how it would benefit us. I was able to reassure my clients that Enquir3 make it really easy for them not to fail, from the ease of the system, to the ready-made templates, someone is there to hold your hand all the way. We have completed two projects so far and they have both been completely different experiences. One client already knew they had a problem but had no evidence, but as a result of their client satisfaction interviews their clients told them, and they then had to act. The customer had over-promised on customer service and knew they would be under delivering, and as a result of the client research they were able to pare back what they were promising, enabling them to focus more on their market differentiation which they can fulfill, rather than throw everything at it. The other project largely came down to customer service. They definitely knew they weren't fulfilling the needs of their clients, but they were not sure of the impact that was having on their business. This client research helped them realise how detrimental their current logistics and operational structure was, which meant these aspects were then nudged up the priority list and enabled them to have more grasp on the changes necessary. We all know the devastating effects unhappy clients can have on a business, but it helps greatly to be able to study the evidence in order to provide the solutions required to change. I specialise in strategic marketing for clients i.e. ROI, which you can't do unless you have a full understanding of why customers buy; which makes this data analysis absolutely critical. This is the key mapping tool that I need to work effectively with my clients.

There was so much packed into the day. What I liked about it was the range of tools that have been brought together for the accountancy profession. I've got the years of experience working with accountancy practices so I was looking to see what the basic proposition might be. I'm always interested in an opportunity. There are a couple of outstanding tools that could be extremely useful and that I'm interested in perusing further. I was very happy with what was presented and the follow up has been very good so I'm not at all disappointed.

I personally liked the experience of the different pieces of software; just finding out about them in more depth, as I'd been told about them but didn't have a really good understanding of what they did and what they were aimed at.
It was also an opportunity to meet other people who are working to the same objectives.
I came away with some good contacts. It was good to actually talk to other people and get networking at lunch time. I also gained a better understanding of the three softwares and what they could do.

I liked the numbers that were in the room i.e. it wasn't a huge gathering, it was a room in which there was an opportunity to have a conversation with lots of different people, but also for that conversation to be a discussion at times, with a number of people, which wouldn't have worked if it was a larger crowd.
ReplyThank you so much Gerard for your comments. We are so pleased to hear you thought the seminar had the right number of people to work. We look forward to working with you in the future.

There were lots of interesting and quite dynamic presentations. the thing that particularly stood out for me was the opportunities around the Virtual Finance Director. I went for a whole range of things, but mainly to find out more about Virtual Finance Director and Risk Dashboard
I came away with a whole range of opportunities in terms of business advisory.

It was well organised. It was a great day, well worth attending
I took lots away from the event. I think I came across four business systems that will help my business a great deal, but the main thing is it will help my business as it's helping other people's businesses be better which is a win win situation all around; it will create more business for the providers and for the clients it will help.

The presentations were good and I also think, from a personal perspective, the people in the room were of interest to me from a business relationships standpoint. I wanted to meet some new connections and learn a bit more, and I certainly achieved that.

I was impressed with the calibre of the attendees at The Burgis and Bullock Referral Mastermind Group Launch Event. It was in a great location with nice offices.
The Risk Dashboard was quite interesting - I'd heard of it before but I didn't realise how comprehensive and low cost it is.
David Mack's presentation on the seven key business drivers was all good. As I'm a business coach it was not new to me, but it was a great overview and showed how quickly a company can grow.
Steve Darnell's presentation on Enquir3's client satisfaction tools was fine and got the point across well.
There was overall a nice balance of education and sales pitch and as I do this myself, I can appreciate how difficult it is to get quality bums on seats! The timings worked well and there was a high conversion rate of interested parties at the end.

The Burgis and Bullock Referral Mastermind Group Launch Event was a nice environment of like minded individuals.
The Risk Dashboard presentation made sense and was of interest because there is natural continuity with that and our GDPR offering.
David Mack's presentation regarding the seven key business drivers was educational and encompassed basic sales training.
Steve Darnell's presentation about Enquir3's client satisfaction tools all made sense.
Overall it was very positive and has good potential.

The Burgis and Bullock Referral Mastermind Launch Event was great. Sean Farnell is unlike any other accountant I've met - he's amazing! He's very affable and personable, but at the same time very intelligent and dynamic, so I think the key to this whole programme will be Sean in the centre of everything with his clients.
As we produce dynamic illustrations,explainer videos and do some web development work, I look forward to the opportunity of supplying our services to Sean's clients.

The Burgis and Bullock Referral Mastermind Group Launch Event was well organised from the friendly receptionist, to the interesting people and the good presentations. It did what it said on the box. It was fun and a lot of interesting questions were raised, so I look forward to finding our more and how we can progress with this.

The Burgis and Bullock Mastermind Group Launch Event gave me much food for thought. When I first started here, my first action was to risk assess the whole business. The Risk Dashboard is an excellent tool for checking this very easily, so the benefits of this are obvious for business owners and managers.
As an ex-corporate banker, I’m very comfortable with balance sheets and I’ve sat in hundreds of sales meetings before, but the presentations were very useful if only as a refresher and to give me the reassurance that our business is heading in the right direction. For the other delegates that may not be as comfortable with these concepts, I think it would have been very valuable.
We are a commercial cleaner providing a quality service using trained staff empowered to deliver great results, so every new client contract is assessed individually. This means the quest to find the ideal client profile for partner referrals is very important to us.
We work with all sizes of business, from one- man bands to Warwick Castle and whilst we believe that all our clients are happy, the independent feedback provided by the Enquir3 Client Engagement Audit would be useful not only to check on our client satisfaction, but also to provide a mechanism for a better complaints procedure which currently just rests with the Senior Managers and then myself.

At the Burgis and Bullock Referral Mastermind Launch Event, the flow was compelling and I think it could get people hooked into the idea.
The benefits of the Enquir3 client engagement audits are very convincing and pivotal to the whole concept and I will be looking to introduce this to my clients.
The Risk Dashboard is a very good tool that the people I'm targeting could benefit from.

The best aspect of the Burgis and Bullock Referral Mastermind Launch event was the structuring. It was so much nicer to have an event that was intimate and low key, but with really good structure. The advance preparation and scheduling was well done and the speakers were good. I really enjoyed the event and I look forward to receiving more information.
