WHAT IS THE GROWTH CONVERSATION?
Through working with thousands of SME’s across all sectors we have identified recurring themes that can either propel a successful business to the next level, or equally act as a barrier to growth.
We have found that the same principles and methods apply to businesses at all stages of their life-cycle from start up to scale-up. Essentially, all businesses who want to achieve sustainable growth
run their business today as if it would be sold tomorrow.

Propelling micro businesses to their next phase of growth
​
LEP regions that have have a disproportionately large stock of well established micro businesses (under 5employees) whose albeit modest growth support needs are currently being ignored.
​
Given the high volume of firms that fall into this gap, even a modest growth, perhaps a few jobs each, would have a noticeable and tangible impact on the prosperity of the region.
​
How Winning Pitch can help propel businesses to their next phase of growth
​
The single most important issue to help those micro business leaders who want to grow - rather than just survive or make a living - is winning more customers. Winning Pitch’s own research repeatedly shows Sales and Marketing as their single biggest barrier.
​
Half-day “boot camps" - to impart the best practice sales techniques which are learned, practiced and applied with like minded people who inspire action.
Onsite Coaching sessions - to ensure the new techniques are baked into a live campaign that generates results Information blitz - local University placement or Apprenticeship to plus gaps in data and help to build online tactics
Online resources - surefire customer attraction templates, checklists and learning bites
Performance related payment model based around sales growth is available to share the risks and rewards.
​
The Group Workshops and 1-2-1 Coaching sessions help establish a turbo charged sales engine to find, win and keep more customers. For many of these businesses, if they can reliably attract a regular stream of new customers whilst growing their existing base frankly their other challenges will look after themselves.

Growing Great Businesses
​
There is high demand for technology/knowledge-based entrepreneurs targeting new and emerging sectors. These entrepreneurs are individuals whose aspiration is for more than just “earning a living” even if not always towards super high growth gazelle firms.
​
A key part of the public sector role is to provide a fertile environment for businesses to start up, thrive and prosper. Often, “generic” initiatives that encourage anyone to “become your own boss” are failing to progress them from the idea stage to win first customer.
This can lead to disappointing returns for all parties compared with other more targeted support interventions. Many areas lack a tailored enterprise support programme aimed at those keen to start a knowledge based business that goes onto form a small firm of say 5-10 employees.
​
