You will be empathetic and motivating to business owners highly impacted by covid whilst delivering contemporary solutions helping them grow revenue and optimise profits.

We deliver four session that are each of 2 hour duration to each business. The first session is a meet and great, understanding the client’s challenges and support priorities, outlining our services, brainstorming solutions, and creating a high level road map. Clients often seek technical support in meetings 2 and 3 in areas such as digital marketing, HR or finance and budgeting. Meeting 4 is a recap, finalising the roadmap, and ensuring they can implement the knowledge and tools we have shared in each meeting. Your communication and relationship management skills will be critical. You will have a natural ability to soft sell as you encourage them on the roadmap that is beneficial to both the client and Quinlan Consulting long term.

Your second goal is to roadmap them towards our ability to help them develop and implement these activities post the VCCI funded 8 hours initial support. For example, during sessions we empower clients with budgets, variance reporting and encourage them to a relaxed monthly or quarterly board meeting where we cover strategic and departmental metrics that sets up a long term relationship with us.
