    Training and Consultation

    One number that matters more than any other is the Net Profit. The number of business locations, number of employees, sales volume, or the number of contracts don’t mean much unless they all contribute positively to your company’s bottom line. That’s what Anup Gupta focused on when he worked as a Business Development Manager for a printing company for five years and then in the business he and his wife founded and exited after running it successfully for over 25 years.

    Now, as a consultant, he consults, trains, and mentors small business owners and executives. Whether it is one-on-one coaching, group training sessions, or enterprise-wide workshops, you will be impressed with the results from Anup’s practical solutions that can be implemented for positive results.

    1. The “Big 7” to enhance your company’s bottom line.

    •  Profits are down!
    •  Employee morale is down!
    •  Operating costs are on the rise!
    •  Cash flow is out of whack!

    Do you find yourself blaming the economy, politicians, employees, or factors out of your control for the downward spiral in your profitability or other issues? Most of the problems in your small business are right under your nose. The better news is that most of these issues can be resolved if you have the right attitude and are willing to make tough decisions.

    Anup shares some of the strategies he implemented in his business that helped him reach financial independence at the young age of 49 and exit his business at 53, on his own terms. His ideas will challenge you to think about your business differently and inspire you to implement changes for a positive outcome – a healthier bottom line. It begins with you and your mindset.

    2. Profitable sales

    Increasing sales is not hard. Yes really. It is not! Then why do so many companies, despite “great” sales numbers, still struggle financially? What is hard is PROFITABLE SALES. The problem is a lack of accountability and emphasis on sales being profitable. Sales managers and company owners/executives conduct so-called training sessions on product knowledge, sales presentations, the selling process, and closing sales as quickly as possible. They are taught to sell, sell, and sell without enough focus on the bottom line. One of the main goals of Anup’s training courses is to re-energize the sales professionals by arming them with tools for a profitable outcome for everyone involved.

    In his courses, you will learn:

    •  Differences between a salesperson and a sales professional. How to present yourself, think like, and become a sales professional
    •  12 Costly mistakes to avoid before, during, and after the sale
    •  Turning adversity and challenges into opportunities
    •  Increase your closing percentage.

    To ensure your investment into training pays for itself, Anup customizes the training program to your company’s and industry’s specific needs. Before the training, he works closely with you, the client, to get to know you, your specific needs and goals, and then designs the program to deliver the best results.

    If you are interested in learning to increase sales profitably with a win-win outcome for your client, and you, Anup’s training program and seminars can help.
