Need a helping hand in your business?

Do you need someone to run your business while you're away on leave or on an extended business trip?
Perhaps you have a problem you're battling with or an opportunity you just can't seem to unlock?

Whatever the challenge, there is a solution

Would you like to work with someone of integrity who will deliver results through a logical, structured, focused, goal-orientated, creative approach?

With more than 25 years marketing and general management experience across a variety of industries and markets (including FMCG & Business to Business), let gmms help you achieve the results you need.

Some of the areas we can assist with, include:

• Interim Management Solutions
• Business Plans
• Solutions to everyday business problems/Troubleshooting/Turnaround strategies
• Overseeing the running of the business whilst the client is away on leave or on an extended business trip
• Supplier management (leading to reduced stocks and lower input costs)
• Streamlining and/or introduction of suitable systems and procedures (savings through minimization of errors/increased operational efficiencies)
• Training, mentoring and development of staff (leading to savings through productivity gains and increased staff stability/retention)
• Strategic and tactical sales & marketing management (leading to increased sales, market share and profitability).
• Project Management

Methodology

An initial consultation is held where through a series of questions and answers and the provision of existing information, data is gathered to assist in the preparation of a preliminary proposal. The proposal includes our understanding of the nature and scope of the assistance required, together with desired outcomes, timings and costs. There is no charge up until this point.

Should the client wish to proceed, a deposit will become payable, where after a Non-Disclosure Agreement is signed, the proposal is fine-tuned and presented for final approval. On approval a Service Level Agreement is concluded.

Depending on the client's needs, an audit is conducted of the specific and related areas of the business, covering some or all of the following:

1. Operations

2. Purchasing, Administration and Finance

3. Sales/Marketing

4. Staff

5. Management Information/Information Technology

6. General Business Structure and Management Principles/Methodologies.

Thereafter an action plan (preceded by a full Business and/or Marketing Plan if necessary) is presented, and if required, executed.

Our philosophy at gmms is to conduct our interventions in a mentoring/coaching manner, including the introduction of user-friendly systems and procedures, which will ensure that on completion of the assignment the client is in a position to continue with and/or further develop the corrective processes and methodologies introduced.
