Four dimensions.One strongerbusiness.

Running a business requires more than a great idea. You need clarity about what you are building, the right people to build it, a strategy for turning attention into sales, and the financial discipline to make the business sustainable.

The FSJ SME Growth Programme brings four experienced professionals together to tackle these critical areas in one intensive, practical programme.

Day One

Build the foundation

01

Business Clarity & Brand Positioning

Facilitated by Folake Steaze Johnson

Focus

  • Business model clarity
  • Value proposition
  • Target customer
  • Brand positioning
  • Competitive differentiation
  • Brand messaging
  • Business goals

Participants leave with a clearer understanding of what they are building, who they are building it for and how they should communicate it.

You cannot effectively market a business you have not clearly defined.

02

People & Performance

Facilitated by Florence Awosika

Focus

  • Hiring and selection
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Performance management
  • Accountability and delegation
  • Leadership and team communication
  • Workplace culture
  • Employee development

Participants develop a more structured approach to people, leadership and performance.

Your business cannot consistently outperform the people and systems responsible for delivering it.

Day Two

Build the commercial engine

03

Digital Sales Strategy

Facilitated by Abimbola Ogundiran

Focus

  • Digital customer journeys
  • Customer acquisition
  • Social selling
  • Content that drives action
  • Lead generation and WhatsApp selling
  • Digital sales funnels and conversion
  • Follow-up, retention and measurement

Participants leave with a practical framework for turning visibility into leads, leads into conversations, conversations into customers and customers into repeat business.

Visibility is not the goal. Conversion is.

04

Finance for Business Growth

Facilitated by Funmi Agboola

Focus

  • Revenue vs. profit
  • Costs and pricing
  • Cash flow
  • Budgeting and financial planning
  • Profitability and business expenses
  • Financial controls
  • Key financial metrics

Participants develop greater confidence in reading, managing and making decisions around their business numbers.

Revenue tells you what came in. Financial discipline tells you whether your business can survive and grow.
