New skills are not acquired in the classroom. Tiger Woods doesn't learn how to hit the ball 300 yards by studying text books. Wayne Rooney is not in the habit of sitting at a desk when developing on his natural ability to dart round defenders and score goals from 25 yards. No! they learn by practical exercise.
The same principle applies to business growth - there comes a time when you just have to leave the theory behind.
As a Technology Sales and Marketing Coach I believe that learning 'on the job' develops the essential skills for a successful software business.

Just as Tiger and Wayne work with professional coaches, so a great software business is developed through coaching, Success can be achieved by sticking to some very simple rules.
Most businesses are started by an individual or partners who have the desire to be successful. Unfortunately the buffeting of the recession, the ongoing turmoil in Europe, the recent General Election and the imminent public sector cuts can dent those desires.
Developing the drive and discipline to focus the business can be the most challenging part of achieving success. You need to set business goals and identify the activities needed to meet those targets. These activities should include harnessing the power of social media, websites, and e-newsletters as well as modern sales techniques. Unfortunately many of these skills are not necessarily intuitive for technical based software businesses.
A great business coach can help you through this process and support your activities with practical experience and hands on assistance.This really works - believe me!
