So why did we start this group together?

Our core ethos for Grow Her Business is to support and empower female business owners to increase their sales and profitability through the provision of online education and development sessions specifically tailored to equip our members with the knowledge and skills necessary to run and grow a successful business.

There will also be regular virtual networking events where members will get to meet and mingle with other members to help them grow their business network. The Membership is an ongoing commitment where you can get regular support and guidance. The Membership is specifically tailored for female business owners who provide a service, are either sole business owners or have up to 5 employees and have full control over all aspects of the business. The Membership is therefore not suitable for network marketing businesses or franchise businesses.   3.     Eligibility This membership is suitable for those who are over the age of 18 and who are either new to business or already have an established business.   4.     Membership Specifics There are seven elements to the Membership. i)                 Monthly live deep dive training sessions on sales and profitability ii)               Bi-weekly networking sessions iii)              Monthly guest speaker sessions iv)             Free Downloadable Resources v)               A Private Facebook Group vi)             Member Only offers vii)            Tips and Tools to run your business   Live Training sessions The live training sessions will be led by either Elaine or Judith. From time to time, they may also be joined by expert speakers. The training sessions will take place via Zoom During the live training sessions, the Members will be developed and educated on the key topics and areas of sales and profitability that business owners need to have a level of competency on to run and grow a successful business.   The live sessions will be recorded and made available via your membership dashboard within 48 hours of the session. The founders will revisit and review content of the training on a regular basis to ensure material remains relevant, and if necessary recordings may be removed.   Bi-weekly networking sessions These networking sessions will be led by either Elaine or Judith and will be held via Zoom. These sessions will be an opportunity for members to meet fellow members, with the intention that relationships are developed ‘off-line’. Periodically, guests will be invited to a taster session to help promote the Membership.   Monthly guest speaker sessions To further enhance the Members knowledge and skills, there will be a talk from a guest speaker each month covering topics other than profitability and sales (e.g. marketing, mindset, personal finances, social media training, GDPR). These talks will be delivered live via Zoom. These sessions will also be recorded and made available on the Members dashboard.   Free Downloadable Resources Members will be able to download from the Grow Her Business website templates and tools that will help and support the running of their business (e.g. business plan template, budget template, pricing calculator, sales roadmap survey, finding your missed sales opportunities.   Private Facebook Group You will have access to a private Facebook group to support you during your Membership.

Additional support can be offered to each member in the form of 1:1 support or guidance. We are happy to support you as required, please contact us directly, additional charges will apply. 3.             What if I am ill during the Membership?
