Stage 1: It’s All About Survival:
A Teleseminar for Business Owners with 1 – 10 employees.

FlashPoint!’s teleseminar series on The 7 Stages of Growth is based on research-driven tips and tactics to help you manage the growth of your company – no matter whether you are building a ‘small giant’ or growing the next Inc. 5000 company – the information in these teleseminars will improve your ability to:

1) Understand and get ahead of the challenges of growing a business

2) Uncover some of the obstacles that are blocking your success

3) Provide you a language of growth to bring your key staff into understanding and embracing your company’s goals

Your goal as a leader is to think of your journey through these stages of growth as a continuum – the more you do to manage the growth in your current stage, the better prepared you will be for your next stage of growth.

Stage 1: It’s All About Survival.

The honeymoon is over. You have your start up capital, you ramped up to 4 – 6 employees pretty quickly and now the fun begins.

Getting out of the gate with a new company isn’t easy but it’s a cake walk compared to creating a consistently profitable business that you can run and not have it run you. A Stage 1 leader must confront their strengths and weaknesses every day and continue to adjust to the needs of the company.

It’s a struggle to keep their focus on the constant barrage of issues they have to deal with in a fast-growing enterprise. Sometimes their companies have quickly grown beyond the owners’ ability to manage everything.

That happens, by the way, as soon as you start adding full time employee to the mix.

On this one-hour teleseminar, you’ll walk away with 3 Tips and 3 Tactics you can use the next day to help you manage the challenges of a Stage 1 leader. Each Tactic will be expanded to provide participants with concepts, exercises and tools they can use the next day.

Tip #1: Want to learn how to manage growth from the git-go? Too many leaders in Stage 1 think they can wait until ‘they are bigger’ to worry about tracking success factors. Wrong.

Tactic #1: You’ll learn what key indicators are essential for a Stage 1 leader to track in order to build your top line revenue.

Tip #2: Before you hire your first employee, make sure you understand what a ‘good company fit’ not only looks like but make sure you can detect it in that all important interview.

Tactic #2: Walk away with a sure-fire interviewing process to make sure that the first few people you hire have what it takes to grow with your company.

Tip: #3: Sales is the engine that provides traction for a company to not only survive but thrive.

Tactic #3: Learn and apply how a buyer’s decision making sequence lines up with the sales process – speed through this critical sequence and you’ll lose the sale every time.
