Workshops

Getting into the fastlane…52 ways to accelerate in business

This series of workshops is designed to help you kick start the year with the most practical tools for building and marketing your business. To help you achieve your business development objectives, we have designed a pack of 52 practical and valuable tips and techniques.

With one tip each week for a year, each card can be used for a specific activity, such as strategic planning, presenting, client development, networking. Just put the relevant card in your pocket and it’s a valuable reminder. There are five workshop categories;

  • Tendering for new business
Two Way Traffic
  • Outstanding service

Originally developed in 1997 and titled “Making all the right moves… how to get ahead in business”, these practical workshops have been delivered to Partners and Senior Associates in professional services organisations, and more recently tailored for corporate executives, industry associations and also to Year 11 and 12 students as a way of informing them of the skills that will be required of them when they move into their careers. 

The tips and techniques featured in the cards, together with the book of the same name, together provide a very practical guide for individuals, startups, organisations and their clients, on the business development and marketing skills essential to build a great business.

With economic pressure increasing, there has never been a better time to focus on the skills and activities essential to build and sustain a great business. For information on how to get into the fastlane, contact deanna@fastlaneconsulting.com.au
