Business Getting Results via webinar

Hopefully by now you're conversant with webinars. If not briefly they are like a seminar - but run on-line. It's like going to a training course - but without the hassles of travel, parking, etc.

These webinars are designed to present key information on business principles to those in a position to implement it. And we provide a follow up service to all attendees to encourage you to actually do something about it. After all, no matter how many courses you attend, your business will stay the same unless you implement some new ideas.

So what do they cover? Well, the sessions arranged so far are given below. Please note that these are NZ times - the seminar is coming from Australia for both countries - so times given in e-mails often refer to EST or EDT - don't be caught out.

Clients who pay an A/P to either of our companies continue to receive this service for free. Beyond that we have a $50 fee - which covers the webinar and a follow-up call - either by Skype or normal phone. (Pay for six months and get an extra month free. Pay for twelve months and get three extra month's free.)

If you want to discuss this further, feel free to contact us. If you want to attend, please e-mail results@businessacademy.co.nz. We will send you the registration details when we have received payment (unless you are already on A/P in which case no payment is required).

Smart ways to control costs
Thursday, 24th May 2012
2.30pm – 3:30pm


To have a strong and successful business it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the financial impact that basic business decisions may have.

Many of those decisions have to do with costs – usually in an attempt to reduce them. But these actions are often ad hoc and not based on any appreciation of consequences.

This webinar shows how to analyse costs and monitor your costs. We also discuss some strategies for minimising them.

Time management
Thursday, 21st June 2012
2.30pm – 3:30pm


Time, or lack of it, is one of the major obstacles stopping most business owners from working ON rather than IN their business. So join us as we show you ways to deal with this problem.

With good time management skills you are in control of your time and your life, of your stress and energy levels. You make progress at developing your business. You are able to maintain a balance between work, personal and family commitments. You have enough flexibility to respond to surprises or new opportunities.

Join us as we provide solutions to help you get ahead of the game by prioritising tasks according to importance and systemising routines for dealing with them. We will also provide some tools for measuring any tendency you might have to procrastinate and waste time trying to achieve perfectionism along with strategies for dealing with them.

Managing your accounts receivable
Thursday, 26th July 2012
2.30pm – 3:30pm


Credit can make or break your business because of the direct and substantial impact it has on cash flow. So dealing with receivables to maintain cash flow is an important part of managing your business.

This webinar covers two main areas associated with receivables management:
  • Setting up a credit policy and associated KPIs and tracking them for effective management; and

  • Dealing with overdue receivables.
We will illustrate the cost of credit to you and your business and show you smart ways of collecting money without threatening your customer relationships.

Becoming customer centric
Thursday, 26th July 2012
2.30pm – 3:30pm


Today’s most successful operators are the ones who have learned how to revolve their business around their customers.

Yet how often are products or services dreamt up, produced, marketed, sold and distributed without any input from a potential customer? And how often are the internal procedures of a business set up to suit the business’ convenience rather than to enhance the customer experience?

There can’t be any concerted effort to providing superior value unless the customer, and the customer’s needs, are the real focus of the business.

Join us in this webinar as we show you how to add value by designing processes such as technology, training and internal processes to support a strategy of customer-centricity throughout all areas of your business.
