Why Are We Giving Away a £499 Business Growth Programme for Free?
A 7-week business coaching programme in Manchester worth £499 – completely free?
It sounds unusual. And if you’re a business owner, you’re probably wondering:
Why are we giving this away?
This September, Business Coaching Manchester is launching the Business Growth Acceleration Programme (BGAP) – a practical, seven-week programme designed to help established business owners improve the way their businesses operate, grow and make money.
Normally, a place on BGAP would cost £499.
For our first programme, however, we’re giving the places away free of charge.
There’s a very good reason.
Why Is the Business Growth Acceleration Programme Free?
We want to establish BGAP as a successful business growth programme for Manchester business owners.
Before expanding the programme, we want to work closely with our first group, demonstrate what BGAP can achieve and build genuine case studies, testimonials and success stories.
That means the first group gets something very valuable:
Seven weeks of structured business coaching worth £499 without paying the £499 programme fee.
In return, we’re looking for business owners who will commit to the programme, attend the sessions, implement what they learn and provide honest feedback about their experience.
Participants will also be asked to provide a testimonial and allow photographs to be taken during the programme for future publicity.
Is There a Catch?
No – but this isn’t an opportunity for someone who simply wants seven weeks of free business coaching.
We want business owners who are serious about improving their businesses.
The value to us comes from being able to demonstrate real results with real local businesses.
Your value comes from having seven weeks to step away from the everyday pressures of running your business and focus on making it better.
That makes this first BGAP group important to both of us.
Who Is BGAP For?
The Business Growth Acceleration Programme is aimed primarily at established small business owners in Manchester and South Manchester.
It could be right for you if:
- Your business is established but growth has slowed.
- You’re working too many hours.
- Too much of the business depends on you.
- You need better systems and processes.
- You want to generate more profitable sales.
- You know your business could perform better but aren’t sure what needs to change.
BGAP isn’t about sitting in a room listening to business theory.
It’s about looking at your business, identifying what’s holding it back and taking practical steps to improve it.
Seven Weeks to Work ON Your Business
One of the biggest challenges facing small business owners is finding time to stop working in the business and start working on the business.
There is always another customer to deal with, another email to answer or another problem demanding your attention.
BGAP gives you dedicated time each week to look at the bigger picture.
Over seven sessions, we’ll focus on the areas that can make a genuine difference to the future of your business – including business growth, sales, profitability, systems, efficiency and reducing the business’s dependence on its owner.
The objective is simple:
To help you build a better business.
Why Not Charge £499 From the Beginning?
Because we’re thinking beyond the first seven weeks.
If BGAP produces strong results for its first participants, their experiences will help us demonstrate the value of the programme to future Manchester business owners.
Rather than telling people what BGAP could achieve, we want to be able to show them what it has achieved.
That is why we’re prepared to invest our time in this first group without charging the normal £499 programme fee.
Why Is There a £199 Refundable Deposit?
Although BGAP is free, successful applicants will be asked to pay a £199 refundable deposit to secure their place.
Why?
Commitment.
Places are limited, and we don’t want to give a place to someone who doesn’t turn up when another business owner could have benefited from it.
Complete the programme and meet the agreed conditions, and your £199 deposit will be refunded.
Business Coaching in Manchester – Could BGAP Help Your Business?
The first Business Growth Acceleration Programme begins on Wednesday 23 September at 1pm and runs for seven sessions.
Places are deliberately limited so that we can work closely with the business owners taking part.
If you’re an established business owner in Manchester, Chorlton, Didsbury, Sale, Stretford, Altrincham or the surrounding areas and feel your business could be performing better, BGAP could be worth exploring.
7 weeks of business coaching.
£499 programme value.
No programme fee for our first group.
In return, we’re looking for your commitment, your feedback and the opportunity to demonstrate what BGAP can achieve for a real Manchester business.
