Services

eshape works on any and all issues to do with growth and so can tailor services to suit your needs.

The following are five 'starter' services which I have used to establish relationships with companies in the past. 

Review of value strategy

What are the steps you should take now to ensure you build value? What are the priorities to take into account for a succesful future exit?  Who are the likely buyers and what will they focus on? What is the competition doing? How should you take your pans forward?

Investment readiness

Does your business demonstrate all the right elements to attract a good investment deal?
Are you finding it difficult to win backing? Are there aspects you need to address in order to obtain funding on the best terms? What sources of funding will provide the best solution? 

Sales diagnostic

How does your sales approach match up to best practice? Are you exploiting the right channels? Do you have the right people, processes and tools? Would you benefit from help to assess and boost your sales performance from someone who can offer sustained support in obtaining results? 

Brand and marketing messaging

Do you convey a compelling message to prospects, investors and potential recruits? Are you confident that the best you can do is coming across? Are you starting out and seeking to establish yourself or perhaps looking to revitalise a company that has lost its verve? Could you use help to clarify your messages from someone with the skills and experience to bring together creative, technical and business talents to achieve something special?
We can provide a quick objective view or work with you on a sustained programme of support.    

Web exploitation

Are you making the most of the web?
Does you website do what you want? Does it attract visitors and convert them to prospects, sales and advocates?
Are you better than the competition? Would you like an action plan to overtake them?
Is the web at the centre of your growth strategy?
Are you exploiting the opportunities the internet provides for recruitment, economies and collaboration online?
We work with you to assess where your opportunity lies and bring together the best talents to suppport you in website design and support, Search Engine Optimisation and internet marketing.

'Phew!' The most dangerous sound in marketing

Posted by: John Kavanagh Posted Date: 26/10/2010
It’s only human. Busy people put in an extra effort and eventually it’s done; the new website is finally finished, the brochure is out, the tender has gone in, conference attendees have melted away happy and you can pop the cork and toast a tough job well done…

What does your client want from your salespeople?

Posted by: John Kavanagh Posted Date: 20/10/2010
That’s right, not what do you want but what does your client want from your salespeople? It matters because the most important factor in business to business sales is not price. It’s not (six sigma or whatever else) quality. It isn’t innovative features. It’s not the ability to deliver total solutions. It’s you – the salesperson.

Business in 4-D

Posted by: John Kavanagh Posted Date: 06/08/2010
Many companies operate in less than four dimensions. Some are one-dimensional. I believe you need to keep (at least) the following four dimensions in balance to sustain growth: Dreams, Data, Design, and Delivery. What happens if they’re out of balance? How do you fix it?
