GPS Reviews: Provided Assistance In Achieving My Goals

Provided Assistance

Situation

The editor & publisher of a weekly community newspaper decided to engage GPS “after a year of trying to run the paper after my husband died. He was a former banker, as well as a newspaper man, and handled all financial matters relating to the business.”

She had, first, signed up for a seminar for small business owners, but she quickly realized that “I did not have the background to implement the suggestions presented for improving profitability.

I also needed help with developing realistic sales targets to use in comparing our current numbers and what I wanted to achieve in terms of profits.”

Process

The client met with three sales people, suggesting a variety of solutions, and then was assigned a GPS consultant to work with her. “It has been a very pleasurable experience. My consultant is knowledgeable and easy to understand. He is an excellent teacher, which I needed.

We worked our way through the sales funnel to develop the information management tools as well as reports to keep me informed on the progress made. This included monthly sales targets, tracking sales activity from each account executive and determining the profitability of each weekly issue.”

Result

The client is now equipped with the systems and processes to manage her business, “I am very pleased with the work my consultant has completed for us and know I can count on him to help me achieve my ultimate goals.”   Vicki, CEO, Editor & Publisher
