CASE STUDIES

Business Coaching - Sky Writing

PM came to me with a concept for a business but the time pressures of his existing role had meant he'd not got round to making a start. By asking questions along the lines of the GROW model we worked together to define the desired goal (G) , the reality of what progress had been made to date (R) , helped him brainstorm many options for taking things forward (O) then prioritised these down and examined the will (W) and motivation needed to tackle the next steps. Together we produced a detailed action plan as well as a timeline and PM felt he'd made more progress in 3 coaching sessions with me than he'd made in a year alone.

Product Launch - Breast Pad

CP having worked in the textile industry and then become a mum of 2 had noticed a gap in the market for a more high tech breast pad. Whilst she had the expertise needed to consult with manufacturers, suppliers etc and create a fantastic product, she lacked the knowledge of how to go about marketing/ packaging and presenting her product to retailers. I helped her with market research and hence product positioning & pricing. We also worked together on a trade marketing presentation covering all elements of the proposed marketing plan, market share forecasts vs existing products and full market review. I then role played a typical buyer meeting with CP to give her confidence in her first sales meeting with a major retailer which she found extremely helpful in ironing out potential pitfalls in her sales approach.
