Ignite Ideas with Spark Consulting
Ignite Experiences
It takes more effort and funds to acquire new business than it does to make existing clients return! By offering top-notch customer service and unique experiences, your business will benefit greatly with incredible word-of-mouth and social media marketing. Heather can help you evaluate all aspects of the client experience and offer system improvements and special touches to ensure customers GET WOWED! and share their positive experience with others. The special touches you create for your business will ultimately increase your bottom line.
Ignite Employee Development
The best employees are empowered employees, and the benefits of working with dedicated, empowered employees greatly contributes to your revenue stream! Employees must understand the culture of the business to include values, priorities and expectations in order to become empowered and make decisions based on the core principals of the business. Heather can meet with the management team to lead in the creation of a powerful, yet short and sweet, GET WOWED! employee training manual that will capture the culture of your organization, help current employees be engaged in the business and use their knowledge to train future employees.
Ignite your Vision
Do you have a vision and need help creating the plan to reach it? Whether it is a new business, community initiative, collaboration or business growth, Heather can assist with an assessment, timeline, task creation and project management; all of this to help your vision become a reality.
Ignite Special Projects
Sometimes a project in your business is just overwhelming and you need organized and detailed short-term help to manage or coordinate a project. Maybe it is organizing a special event, getting setup with a new financial system, researching new ideas, or staff/customer appreciation assistance; no matter the need, Heather is willing to discuss the project and honestly tell you if her strengths are a good fit to help.
