Keys To A Winning Team

As every successful entrepreneur knows, human capital is the greatest asset of any company. A dream team makes it possible to accomplish powerful objectives, while providing deeper and richer career satisfaction along the way. But human resources can also be the biggest liability, and that is too often blamed on the personnel themselves – not on the people whose job it is to hire them. One of the biggest complaints of business owners is that they cannot find qualified, competent help. To cure that problem they need to realize first and foremost that the people they get are the ones they deserve.

3… 2… 1… Lift-off!

Garrards saw the launch of it’s new look website helping users get from one place to the next without skipping our most important content.

Our menu section has been split and our site content cut into three places. We now have ‘Solutions’, ‘Services’ and ‘Products’  – if you’d like to know more about what we do and how we can help you and your business, then our solutions pages can help, if you’d like to know about the things we make, then go to our services page, and if you’d like to know about the products we import and distribute, then go to the products page.

Essential Characteristics of an Entrepreneur

An entrepreneur is a businessperson who not only conceives and organizes ventures but also frequently takes risks in doing so. Not all independent business people are true entrepreneurs, and not all entrepreneurs are created equal.  Different degrees or levels of entrepreneurial intensity and drive depend upon how much independence one exhibits, the level of leadership and innovation they demonstrate, how much responsibility they shoulder, and how creative they become in envisioning and executing their business plans.

The GUEST approach…The GUEST model of selling

I think it’s important to use the GUEST approach with all that enter our lives and businesses.  A simple greeting can mean the world to someone, a simple hello and a gentle smile, welcoming them into our space.  I recall a colleague of mine telling me a story of when she walked into a clothing store and two store attendants were gossiping and speaking to one another and totally ignored her.

  • Garrards London goes the extra mile, delivering excellence and speed.

    It has been a pleasure to work with you Steven, on consultation and implementation for my business.
    I needed to be able to trust someone who knew what they were doing. Not only do you have incredible intelligence like the multi-million -dollar men I have read about, but you have an incredible power, confidence and knowledge due to your own real-life stories and experiences.
    I appreciate that you listened to my concerns and desire of what I want out of my business. You returned with solutions and implemented the new strategies supportively holding my hand all the way through a step by step process.
