Free profit seminars

Barclays has developed a new seminar to help small business owners boost their profit. The bank will be running a programme of free seminars called Let’s Talk More Profit and Let’s Talk Bright Marketing from May 23.

New research from Barclays shows that 80 per cent of small business owners want to spend up to a third of their working day developing their business, specifically in areas such as marketing and profit-making strategies. Currently, a third of owners spend less than five per cent of their time on these types of activities.

The need to improve the bottom line is essential for any business, and seminar attendees will look at various profit-making strategies and develop individual action plans to help them put their tactics into action.

The seminar is being delivered by leading management consultant Robert Craven, author of Kick-start Your Business and Customer is King. Craven is also managing director of The Directors’ Centre, has run his own restaurant and spent five years running training and consultancy services for entrepreneurial businesses at Warwick Business School.
