Greg Chapman
Greg shows small business owners how to multiply their profits and make their business run without them, using the proven principles from his best-selling book, "The Five Pillars of Guaranteed Business Success- Why most businesses will stay small and what YOU can do about YOURS".
To make a business run without you requires:
1. A Business Plan to drive your business growth
2. A Marketing Strategy producing predicable & controllable streams of enquiries
3. A Business Management System that turns your business into a profit machine
4. Motivation to get the most from people within your business &
5. Owner Accountability and discipline with a business that’s run by reports.
With an initial focus on the structure of the client's business, his focus moves to the major issues preventing the owner achieving their goals, whether they be marketing, sales or business management systems.
Greg also works with many couples in business, for whom he wrote the award winning book, "Married to the Business".
Greg's speciality is new businesses and businesses with turnover under $1million.
