Kickstart Your Marketing Systems – Training for Young Entrepreneurs

How to easily set up your marketing system and grow your business faster

 

WANTED: Passionate Young Entrepreneurs Ready To Grow Their Business

 

 

YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS STEPPING UP PROGRAM

New program begins in September 09. Apply Now.

There is a fine line between having a business that runs you and one that you own. If your business has hit a point where you feel like you are doing all the jobs in the business and you could burn out at any minute, it’s time to stop and have a think about a better way to grow your business.

If your business looks like this (organisational chart above), you need to get out of your own way and start building systems in your business to organise and delegate some of the responsibilities.

It’s time you took the stress out of your business and stopped doing some of the jobs you do each day and put people and systems in place. This is how you grow your business and it’s what The Frank Team can teach you in their Young Entrepreneurs Stepping Up Program.

 

The Frank Team recently reflected on their own successful business journey, as well as consulting with successful young entrepreneurs about their business’s development needs in the growth phase. Two things stood out: systems development and marketing. The Frank Team has combined these two areas in their Young Entrepreneurs Stepping Up Program specifically to help you as the young entrepreneur get through this phase of your businesses growth, and would like to invite you to be part of our next Young Entrepreneurs Stepping Up Program. 

This program is made possible by the NSW Department of Industry and Investment (DII) the New South Wales Government’s business development agency.
DII delivers programs and services that support the NSW Government’s commitment to winning new business activity for NSW, and developing the capacity and productivity of the State’s economy.
For further information on how DII can help your business go to www.business.nsw.gov.au

How will this program help you?

This program will help you easily setup your marketing system and prepare your business for further growth.

We know that young entrepreneurs are often REALLY good at doing the thing the business gets paid for (eg: PR, design work, workshops, photography, cutting keys, making films etc) but not so good at running the business side of things! This program really develops your core business skills and helps you to set up systems in a vital area, marketing, so that you business can grow.

All of the time that you spend in this program is time spent ON your business and developing your business. This time ON your business, not IN your business is vital to your continued success.

From this program you will:

* Attract and retain more customers
* Free up your time to work in other areas of your business by Creating a Comprehensive Lifecycle Marketing System
* Generate a more reliable income by creating a six to twelve month marketing calendar ready for implementation
* Track your businesses progress easier and manage the performance of your marketing
* Make better strategic decisions
* Make it easier to expand and grow your business
* Sell more to existing customers and increase your profits on a regular and consistent basis
* Invest a small amount of money for the setting up of your marketing foundations of your business
* Give you access to the type of training that normally costs you thousands of dollars

How does the program work?

The YESUP combines skills workshops, one-on-one mentoring and more to produce real and immediate results for you and your business.

The workshops are run over 4 weeks and concentrate on the Lifecycle Marketing System creation for your business. They are presented by Jessica Kiely, the Director of The Frank Team. You will bring your lap top to the workshops and DO the work required in the sessions to make sure you are setting up systems straight away to be using in your day to day business straight away.

The one-on-one mentoring is also run over the 7 weeks and allows you to work on an area you have identified within your business for intensive assistance and guidance; all with an experienced and successful business person who has volunteered their time for you.

The MORE part of our program is slipped in between the workshops & mentoring. There are goal setting sessions, legal workshops and guest speakers; all enhance your overall experience and benefit your business.

We have mentors from a very large variety of industries. They are from marketing, product development, commercialisation, social media, online marketing, publishing, sales, consulting, career coaching, software, importing and exporting and so much more…….

We love all of our mentors and truly appreciate the time they give to help young entrepreneurs move forward.

How do we match mentors and mentees (young entrepreneurs)?

On your registration form you will highlight the area of your business that you would like to focus on with your mentor. From this, and the other information in your registration form we create a profile about you. So when you fill out the registration form make sure you put in as much information as possible.

We then approach one of our business mentors with that area of expertise and ask them if they would like to mentor you. They get to look through your profile to learn more about you, and of course we let them know about the commitment required of them for the program (8 hours). We do this until the right mentor is found for you and your needs.

You have TWO structured meet up sessions organised by The Frank Team on the 3rd June and 24th June from 6 – 9.30pm. The other mentoring times are organised by you and your mentor. This mentoring can take the form of face to face, over the phone, over MSN, Skype/MSN conference, meet at a networking event, go to their workplace……whatever works for you and your mentor.

How is The Frank Team’s YESUP unique?

* It is a program developed and presented by a successful young entrepreneur, Jessica Kiely-Schebesta. Jessica is totally passionate about getting your business running smoothly and successfully and committed to making that happen in this program. Jessica really cares about you and your business. Plus as a young entrepreneur (starting her first business at 19!) she knows exactly where you are coming from, and it shows!
* It is focused on setting up SYSTEMS for your business for the most important aspect of your business: marketing. Systems are what will set you free in your business and have it running smoothly and allow for growth  beyond just you.
* The experience will be:
o Fun
o Engaging
o Relevant
o Immediately applicable
o Practical
o Based on professional experience and expertise
* BONUS FEATURES: Additional elements have been incorporated into the YESUP to develop the whole young entrepreneur, thus we have a comprehensive development focus. These bonus features are not a part of any other young entrepreneurs stepping up program on offer at the moment.
o Workshops + Mentors + BONUS FEATURES

While we are running a Young Entrepreneurs Stepping Up Programs, with a mentoring aspect, and funded by DII NSW, that is where the similarity to any other YESUP ends. Each YESUP covers a different topic, with ours having a focus on Lifecycle Marketing and Systems Development, which is vital to growing your business.

The FRANK Team style of presenting is also very different to what you will find elsewhere. Our Director and the presenter for the program, Jessica Kiely-Schebesta, is a 32 year old entrepreneur herself. She’s been running her own businesses since the age of 19 and has never worked for anyone else. Jess’s presenting style is very engaging and a lot of fun – you’ll never get bored at one of our workshops! They’re as interactive as possible, and at the YESUP workshops we’ll encourage you to bring along your laptop and get started right away on your planning and systems.

All of our workshops are based on our own experience. The implementation of marketing systems has completely changed how The FRANK Team operates day to day – and made it a LOT easier. We’ve implemented the systems that you will be learning about in the program, meaning you can learn from our mis – takes and successes. We essentially open our business up and show you how.

We’ve also included a number of additional features in our program, such as an ENYA Lawsense Workshop; Weekly Entrepreneurial Tips; A Self-Coaching session with a qualified personal coach; as well as opportunities at every workshop for “gripes time” – share your business problems with the other participants and mentors and have everyone present brainstorming ideas to help you overcome those problems, based on their own experience.

Who is the Frank Team & Jessica Schebesta (Kiely)?

 

Holding down a full time desk job isn’t Jessica Schebesta (Kiely)’s style – because she’d prefer to run the company! This would explain why Jessica has been running her own companies from the age of 19. She is currently 32 years old, the Founder & Director of The Frank Team and previously New Horizon Tutoring, her first ever business that she started at the age of 19.

An entrepreneur from an early age without really realising it, Jessica has never worked for anyone else having created her own employment since the end of school.

Her first business New Horizon Tutoring, which began in the Hills district offered in-house tutoring for school students, and her current company The Frank Team inspires & enables people to build their career, business and entrepreneurial skills through fun, interactive workshops, guest speaking, program development, consultancy and resources for schools, universities, councils, government departments, youth organisations, community groups and corporates. The Frank Team is a creative education company.

With The Frank Team, Jessica has taken an idea that she was told “would never work” to a national success story to show that people before profit does work. Her company has undergone amazing growth with the number of participants experiencing Frank Team programs hitting 30,000.

From its beginnings in her bedroom in 2001, The Frank Team now has 3 full time staff and 15 facilitators across Australia, and the impact of their programs have been felt in metro cities, regionally and rural locations, from Halls Creek in WA to King Island in Tasmania and everywhere in between.

2006 also saw The Frank Team run its first truly international program with Jessica travelling to Bahrain in the Middle East to develop the leadership and project management skills of their young people.

Jessica and The Frank Team have worked with organisations like the Commonwealth Bank Foundation, Westpac, NSW Department of State & Regional Development, Australian Business Community Network, NSW Parliament, Department of Education Science & Training, Macquarie University, Melbourne University, Chevron, Cerebos, National Australia Bank as well as hundreds of schools around Australia.

Over the past 10 years of running her own businesses, Jessica has developed a wealth of experience and expertise. She is an expert in powerful presentations especially for a youth audience, human resource management for small businesses including motivating and retaining staff, setting up and managing systems that help a small business tick, business and team skills, coaching and keeping people on task, and of course a large amount of experience in starting from scratch with ideas and making them a reality.

In addition to running her businesses, Jessica has been a dance teacher – teaching jazz, contemporary and tap – for over ten years. In her ’spare’ time, Jessica loves working at her family’s sheep station near Mudgee in regional NSW.

Jessica’s key passions are equipping people with the skills to turn their ideas into a new business venture, career goal or community project, and working in collaboration with other passionate people.

“I love to combine my endless enthusiasm and teaching ability to encourage and empower all people I come in contact with to help them take their ideas and make them a reality.”
