I’ve known and had the opportunity of working with André Larabie as a Business Development Consultant for nearly 20 years.

When it comes to business… knowing what its purpose is, what its common challenges are, and how to overcome those challenges so the business achieves its potential, very few consultants can match the expertise André brings to the table, and the results he creates for his clients.

If you are a business owner (no matter how successful your business is), one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to sit down in a quiet place with a pen and note pad and think about your business as though you were someone considering buying the business.

Determine where your business is now… number of customers you currently have, number of employees you currently have, what your attrition rate is (how many customers you lose and why they stop buying from you), what your conversion (closing) rate is, what advertising or promotions are working for you and which are not, etc. In other words, get a good in-depth snapshot of where your business currently is.

Next, determine where you would like your business to be in the next 12 months… how many more customers you would like to have, number of employees, closing rate, attrition percentage, etc.

Third, write down what is keeping you from achieving the goals you set in step two. Be honest. If it’s because you aren’t proactively doing anything, write it down. No sense in trying to kid (lie to) yourself.

Next, for each of the roadblocks you’ve identified, write down what you are currently doing (or have done) to reduce, minimize, or eliminate them. Again, be honest!

Finally, once you have captured a “picture” of your business… where it is now, where you would like it to be, what’s keeping you from getting there and how what you’re doing is working, get in touch with Andre.

If you give him a good snapshot of your business, it will save him tons of time and he’ll be able to very quickly let you know what he can (or can’t) do to help you get your business to where you want it to be.

I’m telling you… after being in business for 53 years and working with several thousand business consultants, there’s no one I would give a higher recommendation to than Andre Larabie. He has my highest endorsement!

André’s ability to speak to creditors is magic we all don’t have.  I was looking in the eye of a tornado until I came in contact with André and his services, very easy to speak to was able to put me at ease and develop a plan with me and negotiate down large sums that would have Bankrupt us otherwise.  Not just an outstanding service but a real honest and professional person!

 

In 1 month of business/life coaching I was able to get back to dreaming as an entrepreneur again, all the reasons we start that get buried in the hectic days André was able to push that aside and help realign me with the reasons I do what I do.  I found the energy to get back on my sales drive and in 30 days have under contract 1.9 million in construction work.  He hustles just like us and no team is complete without a coach, I’ve found mine! Thanks André also known as The Seven Figure Advisor.

You are unbelievable.  You came in and took charge of our lawsuit and within 10 days you settled for 42% of the actual claim and saving us $90,000.  I only have 1 thing to say to you.  Well worth the money that you charge for this service.

“I’ll be honest, I’ve always struggled with “How to..” books. I got in bed last night at 10:30 and promised myself I’d read 100 pages, and do the same the following 2 nights to then give some feedback.

“Fast forward to 1am and I’ve read the whole thing. It completely pulled me in and I couldn’t put it down. It’s truly brilliant.

“I probably didn’t get to sleep for another couple of hours as I had tonnes of ideas running through my head and just feel so excited to start implementing.

“I’ve not felt this excited since I came up with the email follow-up concept 7 years ago, and that was a game-changer for us!”

“It’s not every day that you read a book that so precisely ticks all the boxes of being a must have for every small business.

“A book that encapsulates the essence of tools, techniques and processes, a success formula if you like, that are needed to skyrocket the success of a small business.

“At the same time, it contains real life proven examples of how to make this success formula work beyond just being words on the paper.

“Steve and Andre have done the impossible. They have taken their many years of experience growing (and saving) thousands of small businesses and distilled it down into a proven successful formula.

“This formula is proven, repeatable, super powerful and successful regardless of what your small business does.

“They have saved you the pain, hassle and cost of trying all the things that don’t work and given you a blueprint of successes that work.

“This book is worth its weight in gold for that alone.

“Steve and Andre’s style of not just explaining, but also justifying with reasoning and giving proven examples leaves you in no doubt as to what needs doing and how to do it.

“Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newbie, this book will help you to implement your own success formula.

“If you are serious about growing your small business (and who isn’t), you must read this book, implement the formula and enjoy the riches it will bring you. “

“Steve and Andre’s new book, starts where many other business self-help books finish.

“It’s packed with practical examples and step by step strategies, which if followed, can only result in a substantial improvement to any business’s sales and marketing performance.

“Having implemented Steve’s systems in my own accountancy practice over a number of years, I can highly recommend them, they work!”

“This book is a complete guide to small business development clearly setting out a comprehensive and simplistic strategy to follow in any industry from set ups through to established operators looking for success.

“I am not a fan of ‘how to be successful books’ because they talk in the clouds leaving the reader scratching their heads on how to implement such wonders into your own business, this is a polar opposite to Steve and Andre’s book.

“It explains in detail across all aspects of your business world how to implement tried and tested marketing plans for growth, increased profits at minimum costs and for success.

“Any small business should use this from a company providing garden services to a specialist accountancy firm as a marketing blue print for growth and success.

“I run a medium sized retail and internet business and the relevance of Steve and Andre’s book is evident in all aspects of our marketing strategies as we target our customers to expand sales and build momentum both instore, online and through communication.

“A rare treat, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!”

“Congratulations on your new book guys, I have been reading it over the last few days and have really enjoyed it.

“All written in an easy to understand style and very informative.

“I look forward to our company working with these strategies even more and making them work for us!”

“Steve and Andre have nailed the ‘Secret’ of business growth. This Mind blowing book removes the mystery surrounding ‘how to grow any business’.

“I was searching for something like this for at least the past 20 years while devouring other business management and marketing books. This book is full of real-life, practical, applicable and easy-to-Implement formulae.

“The 9 Core Elements that are explained in the book are just pure genius and gems which will make marketing work for any business. Apply them to your existing business and see your profits soar automatically. Why automatically? Because they will work for you 24 x 7, no matter what happens.

“Steve and Andre don’t stop only by telling WHAT to do, they explain in detail HOW to do it. They have given the exact step-by-step, paint by numbers process, that tells you how to go about it. It’s Like Reading Brian Tracy, Dan Kennedy, Jay Abraham, Rich Schefren, Joe Polish and all of the Masters of business growth in this one book that summarizes and simplifies all they profess. It’s as if you have a Harvard University team working on your small business for you.

“Study this Book if you want to have a lasting change in your Business profits. It’s going to change your lifestyle for Your lifetime. It is the business science of getting rich….FAST. Ignore at your own risk.”
