Mentoring from the UKAWP

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Need to talk to someone who really really understands your business?

Everyone tells you that setting up in business is tough but they often don’t tell you that it can be isolating, particularly when you’re a one woman (or man) band!

We’re very aware at UKAWP just how much planners love getting together with other planners and sharing and helping each other - our social events are always very popular and we’re about to introduce more events so that planners can get together more often. But if you want one to one business advice and support in a structured and methodical way from the experienced Directors and full members of UKAWP, then mentoring may be just the thing to keep you sane!  Take a look here .

 Here are some recent testimonials on this service:

 ”With Kelly, I was able to discuss marketing and PR ideas, structure my business plan in terms of priorities, and discuss details of some of the weddings I was working on. It gave me the one-to-one business service I needed to develop solid business foundations.” Marine Kerivel-Brown, Boutique Wedding

 ”The time that I have spent with Bernadette, has been invaluable in helping me put together plans and understand the priorities for my business.  The benefit of being mentored by a UKAWP director is the ability to tap into their knowledge and experience; from a specific wedding query through to how to implement standard business practices in our industry.” Elizabeth Gall, Simply Elegant

And to help with budgets, we have just launched a new offer whereby you can take a 10% discount on the first year’s mentoring if you have completed a Business Practicalities or Step by Step training course within the last 6 months.

So why not add some business mentoring to your Christmas wish list this year and set you on a great path for 2011?

Mentoring – A UKAWP service for growing wedding planning companies

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Do you struggle to really get going with promoting your company? Are you worried that your efforts are not going in the right direction? Would you like to talk to someone who truly understands your ‘day to day’ because they do the same job as you and are likely to have encountered similar obstacles/objections? Are you at the very beginning and would like some honest feedback on your materials?

 

If there are any ‘yes’ answers to these questions and your business is less than 2 years old, you might like to consider our UKAWP business mentoring service. Launched last year, it’s been quietly successful and the feedback from planners has been excellent from those currently benefitting from the scheme.  

 

The package is priced at £300 per year and includes 3 x 2 hour sessions over the course of one calendar year; the sessions can be arranged at a mutually convenient time and the time is entirely for your use and to discuss and iron out any specific issues or help you need. This is backed up with email/phone support throughout the year.  Your mentor would currently be one of the 3 UKAWP Directors each of whom have over 7 years experience of running their own wedding planning businesses.
