Good sales and marketing will fuel your business growth. But first, let's make a plan to reach, engage and then convert future customers whilst ensuring that you get the best return on your marketing investment.
At the Business Enterprise Centre NT, our business mentors can help you create a sales & marketing strategy to achieve your goals. Here are some of the areas we might focus on:

Who are you customers? Where do they live? and how much money do they have to spend? We will help you answer these and many more questions through detailed market research, ultimately understanding why are people going to buy your product or service.
We will work with you to put a quantifiable marketing plan in place to offer the best chance of an optimum return on your marketing investment.

Effective management of your finances is key, that much is obvious. But do you know how all your financial systems are working and are they recording the correct information? The Business Enterprise Centre NT are not going to do your books for you, that's what accountants are for, but we will help you interpret that data and make key strategic decisions from it.
We work with you to model and plan your finances. You have a goal in mind? We can show you how to get there and plan what milestones need to be hit along the road to success.
Here are some of the things that we will cover:
- Your Financial Goals
- Financial Management Systems

- Turning the ship around
Strategic Development
We know that sometimes when you are running a busy business it's easy to get lost in the day to day tasks and lose sight of working on the business itself.
Effective strategy and a more profitable business - we think of strategy in terms of how you are going to be different from your competitors rather than being better. The Business Enterprise Centre NT will help you define your strategy and what decisions need to be made along the way to success. We will help you understand what resources need to be allocated, how to factor in changing market dynamics, and most importantly put milestones in place to ensure that you achieve results.
Online, E-Commerce &
Cyber
Security
Times change, technology evolves, and you need to make sure that your business evolves with it. This can be from how to effectively sell your product or service online to giving you the edge on competitors through targeted campaigns. The Business Enterprise Centre NT will help you keep your business ahead of the curve, maximise opportunities and yield best possible results.
As we all have experienced the massive potential new technology offers to business, it isn't without risk and will come under more sophisticated threats as new technology emerges. The Business Enterprise Centre is consistently developing best practice on how your business can counteract these threats and minimise risk.
Mentoring & Coaching
One on one support
Business is ever changing, and to have a long term business success you need the skills and knowledge to overcome tomorrows challenges.
Simply put, the Business Enterprise Centre NT offers businesses forward thinking mentoring and coaching that you can trust.
Why?
Because every single one of our business mentors have all owned and operated their own successful business. This makes us truly unique, because not only do we have the best knowledge and skills, we also know how to convert academic strategy into real world business success.
Management Consultancy
We aren't traditional management consultants, we wont just tell you what your business needs to do and leave it there.
At the Business Enterprise Centre NT we are results people, so we cover 'what', 'why' and most importantly 'how' you are going to gain results, and will work with you throughout this process to ensure that you achieve them.
How we approach this depends on what you need us to do, from strategy and implementation to measuring results, and then where to go next.
Business Exit Strategy
Business succession - a tricky but exciting time for any business owner, whether you are selling or looking to entrust the business that you have poured your blood, sweat and tears in to the next generation.
Regardless of your 'end game' this should be planned well in advance. The Business Enterprise Centre NT will help you put a smooth strategy and structure in place for a workable transition.
We'll be right there with you throughout the process, making sure that you are confident that your business is going in the right direction, whilst yielding the best result for you.
