Business Financial Performance

At AdviceFirst and POD we not only have the ability to analyse the numbers, we are also skilled business advisors turning the analysis into meaningful results that can help your business grow – we are ‘big picture thinkers’ who understand the importance of detail. We specialise in financial advice that is needed for running a business at every stage in the business lifecycle – from start up to exit.

Sales Performance

Sustainable and growth-oriented businesses require ongoing sales. Selling success is more an issue of who you are than what you know. While knowledge is necessary, sustained success comes to the person who’s driven by strong values and ethics. At AdviceFirst and POD we can increase your revenue by helping your salespeople develop customer-needs focused sales behaviours and positive attitues that create long-term, value producing partnerships with your clients. Our internationally recognised programme provides behaviour change support through an extensive follow-up course, where participants share best practices and brainstorm solutions to challenges.
