1-2-1 Mentoring Sessions
Six months of personal 1-2-1 mentoring sessions with me

However, translating knowledge into action can be challenging, especially when you get back into a busy office.
To ensure that you have the necessary support to tailor your C.O.S.T. Optimiser Programme to meet the needs of your organisation and to help you to maintain accountability, each Academy member undertakes a monthly 1-2-1 mentoring session with me.

How do the Mastermind Meetings work?
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″ font_color=”%23ffffff”]Each month of the Programme, all Academy Group members come together for a one day mastermind session. These meetings are structured to help you to go into each element of the programme in more detail, to share experiences around the group and to effect discussion on any specific issues that you are facing.
So the Mastermind meetings are part instructional, part discussion, part exploratory and part networking to create even greater value.[/text_block]

What if I miss one of the webinars?
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″ font_color=”%23ffffff”]All webinars are recorded and you will have access to them via a Bootcamp members area, so if you can’t make one of the Webinars, you won’t be losing out. I would encourage you to get involved in each Webinar however, so that you can ask questions specific to your Company.[/text_block]
Is this approach relevant to my industry?

What’s the deal with the software?
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″ font_color=”%23ffffff”]I have been working with a number of specialist software houses to develop a set of essential tools that you will need to help you track and deliver the bottom line benefits. These are cloud based solutions, and can be set up and operational very quickly.
Included within the cost of the programme is all set up costs and a reduction in the standard operating costs. I also provide you with ongoing support to help you gain the maximum benefit from these systems.[/text_block]

How does your 400% ROI Guarantee work?
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″ font_color=”%23ffffff”]I offer a very simple guarantee.
If, for whatever reason, you feel that the C.O.S.T. Optimisation approach will not deliver at least 4 times your investment with me, then I will gladly refund you the full cost of the programme. No questions asked.

Can’t I just figure it out myself?
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″ font_color=”%23ffffff”]Probably…but why would you want to? Wouldn’t you rather just take a short-cut and learn what has already been proven to work?
Look, I’ve worked with many companies who made every mistake you can make and have spent tens-of-thousands of pounds testing and tweaking the procurement and supply chain process so that you don’t have to. But hey, if you want to spend your valuable time and hard-earned money trying to figure this out on your own, you certainly can.[/text_block]
