<p>Consider having someone with the KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE in business to help you formulate your ideas and priorities into a logical and workable PLAN of ACTION that gets you excited and motivated about your business, and then continues to help you to implement your plan step by step while holding you accountable to get where you want to be within the next 12 months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.grow-your-business.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Selecting-a-Business-Coach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-274" title="Selecting a Business Coach Sydney" src="http://www.grow-your-business.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Selecting-a-Business-Coach-144x150.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="108" /></a>Have you ever considered the idea of using a Business Coach to help you to do better in business? Your Business doesn&#8217;t need to be struggling to benefit from working with a good business coach or improvement consultant, in fact the majority or my clients already have good businesses but wish to give things a tidy up in a few areas.</p>
<p>For example making sure that PROFITABILITY is as healthy as it can be, and sales are being converted at the best possible margins are very popular goals. Most people are also very surprised at what can be identified by talking to someone with an OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE and experience in coaching and improving their type of business.  If you would like some IDEAS on improving your business get a copy of my FREE E-Book: <a title="Free Business Improvement Ebook" href="http://www.business-advice.com.au/Free-EBooks-and-Downloads.html">Nine KEYS to SUCCESS in Small Business</a> which includes a SELF ASSESSMENT section so that you can set some priorities after reading my Business Improvement Tips.</p>
<p><strong>Selecting a Business Coach:</strong> These days you will find an almost endless list of people calling themselves &#8220;Business Coach&#8217;s&#8221; especially in the Sydney area, and while many are good at what they do, this can be a minefield if you don&#8217;t know what to look for. To assist people in making the right decision I have provided <a title="Selecting a Business Coach" href="http://www.business-advice.com.au/Selecting_Business_Coach_Mentor_Sydney.html">7 KEY Qualifiers when selecting a Business Coach</a> on my Website so pleas take a look. The main thing is not to get turned off my some of the stories you may hear, because using a Business Coach can be one of the best decisions you will make for your business, but it&#8217;s important to choose the right one with the right experience for your business and the right approach to Business Coaching that suits you as a person.</p>
<p><strong>The COST of Using a Business Coach: </strong>While some &#8220;Big Name&#8221; Business Coaching Firms can charge upwards of $2500 per month and expect you to &#8220;Sign Up&#8221; for a 12 to 18 month period, this is not always the case. A number of good independent Business Coach&#8217;s now offer AFFORDABLE programs with FLEXIBLE payment options that suit the client rather than their own hip pocket. At <a href="http://www.Business-Advice.com.au">Smart-Biz Consulting and Business Coaching</a> for instance we offer assistance from as little as $250 p/mth  with monthly payments and no lock-in contracts. You can choose anything from a single session to tackle a particular issue or pay as you go, to our comprehensive programs that are still only a fraction of the cost of some larger firms. We also offer a FREE Initial Consultation so that you can try our advice before you pay a cent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever taken the time to review your client base and set some criteria for who you would rate as an AMAZING client, right down to the “D” grade ones who seem to cost you time and money each time you deal with them!<br />
You know the ones I’m talking about, they get 5 quotes, complain about everything you do, ask for a discount when you give them the bill, take 120 days to pay, and if you are REALLY UNLUCKY, they might even refer you a few of their like-minded friends to you as well!!!<br />
The bottom line is that by choosing to put your energy into clients who value and suit your business, and focus your efforts on delivering them great value service, you will increase your PROFITABILITY, attract more ideal clients and start to enjoy your time at work!<br />
You could probably even refer your “D” Graders to the competition who will think you are doing them a favour!!!<br />
So here’s some ideas to get you started&#8230;<br />
Over the next month or so take the time to look at your client base and decide who you want as your ideal customers, who are average ones, right down to those that are not worth having…</p>
<p>Think of defining your clients as follows…<br />
A = Awesome     &#8211;    B = Basic    &#8211;    C = Challenging    &#8211;    D = Disastrous<br />
Take the time to jot down your criteria For each of the above.<br />
For example A Grade clients might me ones that are willing to pay a reasonable price (=profit), come back often, pay their bill early or on time, refer others and so-on…  Go through each of your clients in your database and categorise each of them according to your criteria.<br />
Your next step is to take some ACTION to change things in your business, so you need to decide on an appropriate Action Plan.   For example, Look at all your “A” grade clients and think about where you could find MORE of them. Look at your B’s and think about different ways to bring them up to “A’s”.<br />
Look at your C’s and decide whether you want to keep them or improve their value to your business.<br />
You may also like to consider referring your “D’s” on to your competitors so that they can send them broke instead of YOU!<br />
The point is that a very interesting thing happens when you start to focus on exactly what it is that you want for your business. If you want it enough it will start to show up for you with amazing regularity!  So whether it’s the type of client you want, the type of people you want working for you, or your profits, start focusing and planning some action, and you will be AMAZED at what you start ATTRACTING, and the OPPORTUNITIES that come along!</p>
