About Bolingey Management
Our Mission
Less than 2% of start ups ever reach £1 million turnover.
Question? What do they do, the rest of us don't?
Answer is easy, proven systems and processes that scale.
Our mission is simple, to help you make money by providing the tools and strategies that global corporations use to improve start up and micro manufacturing enterprises in a cost effective way.
.
Our Philosophy
There are hundreds of business consultants / advisers out there. They all have something to offer, often have many years in management, but let's be frank, not many have started a business let alone grown one.
If it works in practise, it won't work in theory, many consultants read a book then give advice, other don't even read the book.
You won't find us charging you money for anything we don't have personal experience of!
As the saying goes, honey bees don't stop collecting honey to tell the flies to stop eating horse shit.
But there are some of us with limited time, who want to give back and as it isn't our main source of income, don't need to make money out of helping you out.
We have no agenda, we're not funded by a government and have targets.
If you are in manufacturing or construction and turn over less than £2 million a year. Chances are, any issues you find, we have already beaten.
Our promise, value for money, or no charge!
Our Approach
It is our firm belief , there are four stages of small and micro business growth.
- Starting
- Going
- Growing
- Scaling
Each stage requires a slightly different outlook and strategy in order to survive and thrive. For example by the time you are scaling you will really struggle if you do not have operational procedure running your business, managing staff will be a constant nightmare without those procedures in place. Trust me I've been there. Likewise, setting all that up in the starting or going phase is a complete waste of time, money and hinders your growth prospects.
We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and develop solutions that are tailored to their unique challenges. Our approach is transparent, results-driven, and designed to help businesses succeed.
There are at least 63,000 business consultants in the UK, most have something positive to add, our guarantee, if we feel, we are not the best fit you, we will recommend one of the other 62,999.
Sales & Marketing
Sales
Discover a simple tactics to structure your conversations with potential customers to maximise your overall return.
Marketing
Ad agencies can be expensive, we outline a structure to make the best of your social media channels when creating content on a limited budget and limited time.
Customer Service Procedures
If you have the mis fortune to have a reason to call customer services at a large corporation, when you finally get through, you are likely to have an operator read from a script.
That script follows company procedures to try ensure problem gets resolved and the client is happy.
94% of people with a complaint will stay loyal if it is dealt with well.
96% will leave if it isn't
Operations
Efficiency in Operations
How do you ensure a job is carried out by staff safely? To the standard the market expects, for the price they pay whilst ensuring you remain profitable.
The same way McDonalds sell 75 burgers per second worldwide all the same standard
Operating procedures and processes that clearly show what is expected at each stage of the process is what keeps the quality high and profit margins in tact consistently.
Finance
Cash Planning
Cashflow for your business is the oxygen we breathe, put profitability aside for a minute, without cash we can't breathe and won't last long.
Cash needs to be planned for, carefully.
Payment policy
If you don't have a serious payment policy for your debts, how are you ever going to enforce being paid on time?
We have off the shelf examples to improve your trade debt position.
Plan, Test and Measure
Strategic Planning
A SWOT analysis, ( amongst other methods ) not only on your business, also your rivals and the market as a whole will help shape key decisions for the future of your business. Both good and bad.
KPI's
Key performance indicators will quickly and easily show how you are doing in relation to your plan.
KPI's can range from your sales figures, number of clients, factory output, how many clients pay on time etc.
In order to improve your business, we must first see the details of how it is performing.
Accountability
When you work for someone else, you will have someone monitoring your performance, a supervisor, a manager to report to.
When you are the boss, not many of us monitor our own performance and therefore, don't always meet our potential. Having someone to bounce ideas with and report to is vital for every owner and the most important conversations you are likely to have each week / fortnight / month.
Best money we spend is with our mentors, they help strategize, pitch in with ideas based on experience not something read in a textbook.
Everyone needs a mentor, it's about finding the right one.
