Our Process
As a business, you have goals and objectives. Our job is to help you reach them, and we do this through our step-by-step business process.
We start with an assessment of what you’re doing well and where you could improve. Then we work with you to come up with actionable solutions that will help you achieve your goals. That’s what sets us apart from other consultancies: we don’t just make recommendations—we provide solutions that will help you get there.
Here’s a deeper dive into the Changing Places business process.
1. Gather Information/Assessment
We begin by setting up an initial appointment to get to know your business and goals. This includes background information and the context of your company, such as your niche, target audience, and overall strategy. It’s okay if you don’t have this information—it is a startup company, after all. Everyone needs to start somewhere, so we can help with that.
2. Formulate a Plan
Through short-term and long-term planning, we can get your business on track with clear, actionable steps to reach success. We determine what you’ll need, whether that’s financial planning, marketing help, or organizational structure, as well as what you want as an outcome, and then create a plan around it. This step allows us to get on the same page about the timeline and the future of your business.
3. Execute
This is when we put the plan in motion and begin helping you move toward the ability to compete among larger, more established companies. We will provide the tools and resources needed to network and grow in the long Run, and our guidance will keep you on the right track throughout. In this step, we employ strategic and creative ideas through business coaching tips, long-term and short-term planning, financial assistance, and marketing tools and resources. We implement beneficial and realistic consulting that will keep you moving upward.
4. Long-Term
With the end goal being reaching success in your business market, there’s a certain point where we want your business to thrive on its own and use our guidance to continue as your own entity. We provide training that will keep you moving forward, even if we’re not meeting anymore. At Changing Places, we want to send off successful companies that were once grassroots.
