ABOUT US:
Small Business Helper.

​FOUNDER'S' BACKGROUND
(Steven Walters)

"Being Self-Employed, I've learnt 'What makes me different to other web firms' is:
My unusual mix of background.

Summary: Design Agency  >  Business Consultancy Firm  >  2 Own Businesses
To elaborate:-

• 1995 - Studied at one of the UK's first ever degree's covering 'Internet Topics'.
  ... BA 'Interactive Systems Design' (Half Computing School + Half Design School).
• 1998 - Highly autonomous role at a Fast Growth Manchester Web Agency.
  ... rapidly progressing from Web Animation Specialist to Project Manager.
• 2002 - Marketing & Business advice at a National Business Consultancy.
  ... Financial Forecasting, Company Formations, Grant & Loan Application etc.
• 2008 - My first hard business lesson
  ... invested in a Franchise that went bust within 3 years.
• 2011 to Date - Smart Business Model
  ... providing holistic marketing fixes, including REAL business model improvements to Business Owners all over the UK & beyond.
  
  

WHAT THE ABOVE MEANS FOR YOU
'Getting your Business in front of your IDEAL customer' - There's much more to this short sentence than you perhaps realise.

In essence... Your IDEAL Customer is:
"A customer who 'spends more with you' and 'takes less of your time".
... you are probably NOT targeting your IDEAL customer (we can certainly help you do better).

​Quick Self-Test: Think of your best customer (a real one) > now look at your Facebook Posts > do they appeal to that person? > look at your web content > does it appeal to that person?

What I've achieved...

• Since 1998 - I've helped Business Owners and Decision Makers.
• I've provided 'Real' business-changing Direction on Marketing, Business Modelling and Financial Forecasting; to Consultants and Business Owners.
• I've evolved my own business since 2008 from 'Franchisee' to 'Independent Limited Company' via monthly standing orders and long-term Clients (avg. 8+yrs).
• I've delivered as far as San Francisco - (though typically UK-wide).
• I've helped Large Corporates (eg. Admiral Insurance, Cussons Imperial Leather, Manchester Evening News, Frank Roberts Bakery and more)
• I've helped Smaller Businesses (Niche, Service Oriented, Education Sector, Tourism Sector, Trades and many more).
• I've helped Non-Profits (Community Groups, Public Mental Health, Legal, Local Asset Preservation, Personal Causes etc).

How I'll help you ...

• I unearth your true business issues, best marketing methods & opportunities
• I bring an insightful outsider's perspective
• I ask the right non-templated questions drawn from years of experience.
• I'll provide you with shortcuts to the right efforts in the right direction - drawn from my experience (see 'What I've achieved').

  - from financial forecasting experience over several years employment at a nationwide business consultancy practice.

• Payment flexibility - spread payments are our default
• Above & Beyond what you ask of me - Long relationships benefit from me putting in much time and on topics outside of initial scope.

CAUTION: Get piece of mind before...
you 'throw' your marketing budget down the drain.

Hear of a few strategies that will work toward your business goals! Call 0844 824 61 51 ask for Steve.

'PREVENT' YOUR WASTAGE ...
As an approach: 'identifying your root problems' cannot be detrimental to your business (even if you might not like to hear it); so can only have a positive effect on your resources (Money and Time).

KEY APPROACH... 
We believe the key to web performance starts with identifying your root problems. Some of which are...

• What types of people are you getting in front of right now ?
• Are they likely to be your 'bulls-eye' target buyer ? (most profitable type)
• Do you know your KEY 'web performance stats' that answers the above ?
• Do you know what 'keyword searchers' you're targeting ?
• Do your Facebook Posts and other Web Content appeal to your ideal customer type ?

UNLIKE OTHER WEB FIRMS...
We'll ensure you understand which are your likely keywords to target & why.So, unlike most web-firms...We'll not lead your project by asking you to provide your keywords or a simple budget.
TIP... Try to adopt a 'business bias focus' as opposed to the typical budget orientated discussion.
E.G. Ask "What web tech may impact my business the most?" as opposed to "I want x,y,z for £500." 

YOU PROBABLY ASSUME YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED...
In our experience, you likely don't know the answers to the following:

• Where's your traffic (visitors) coming from?
• Which are the best visitors?
• Which visitor (keyword searchers) do you need more of?
• Why are visitors not engaging in your website?
