Strategy + Action = Progress

strategy + action = progress

This formula is the (not so!) secret to our success. It outlines the simple but highly effective principle we bring to all our work whether we’re supporting clients to have more impact in their sales, marketing, communications or training functions.

We bring our years of experience, knowledge and insight to help you articulate a clear strategy, after which we work with you to co-create a realistic action plan that will inspire you to turn ideas into reality and really drive your business forward. We work with you to develop a robust strategy that defines your version of success and translate that into a realistic action plan that defines the steps that will get you there. Our work will give you the tools to operationalise all the expertise and insight we share to ensure it has a lasting impact on your business.

Both elements of the equation are necessary because without them you’re likely to get stuck feeling as though you’re going round in circles. Without an action plan to make it happen, even the best strategic vision will remain unrealised, and without clear strategic direction, the actions you take are unlikely to get you to where you want to go, let alone as quickly or efficiently as you want to get there. Doing both will generate a lot of momentum that you can use to make huge progress, whatever that looks like for you.

Don’t just take our word for it

We care about the people we work with whether for a one off project or a long term partnership. Here’s what they have to say about working with us.

I couldn’t do what I do without the expertise of Progress Partners. As a small business partnering with SJ is the highlight of my month. It is uplifting to work with someone who is an expert in their field and works as a true partner to my organisation. Finding someone with the skills that compliment my gaps and keep us focussed on moving forward has been a game changer for the business.

Sarah-Jane exceeded our expectations on the design and delivery of the project. She gave us options and mock ups to react to, she communicated clearly, and regularly and guided us through the steps towards completion. I was impressed that SJ took time to get inside the heads and hearts of our target audience and adapted language and visuals to ensure the materials resonated with that community. The materials we have will be of use for years to come. SJ has been a delight to work with. Michele, Trustee Clyde Scouts

Speech
Sarah-Jane has been an incredible trainer – the change in the group from the first few weeks has been huge. SJ has created a relaxed environment where the group can ask questions, share stories and dive deeper into certain elements of the training which has then benefited us all. As well as sharing personal experiences, SJ is able to relate the information we discuss to daily situations that we are all likely to face in hospitality.

At Klarent Hospitality we have worked with Sarah-Jane on a couple of occasions now – and both have been absolutely worthwhile with positive results. SJ has done remote sales support work for some of our hotels. On each occasion we have seen a positive impact and ROI. In addition, SJ is a pleasure to work with! So accommodating, knowledgeable and professional, along with detailed weekly reporting provided. We would not hesitate to work with SJ again.

Sarah-Jane is a dynamic and creative individual. Her positivity and focus always got fantastic results but also made her a pleasure to work with. During her time at Amaris Hospitality, SJ was appointed to create and deliver a sales training plan for our re-active sales team across the business. SJ devised an excellent interactive course which was delivered and received well by the Management and Senior Team. I would recommend Sarah-Jane with confidence.

I was really impressed with the training you provided. I’ve been on many professional courses and I don’t recall any other trainer listening as attentively as you did to the scenarios we shared. That you then you adjusted your examples to show their relevance based on what we’d just said was excellent. It made things much more understandable to have real-world examples to think about, rather than just listening to someone read out a ‘cookie-cutter’ course.

Sarah-Jane and Karen were great to work with – they took the time to really understand our third-sector organisation and brand, offering us a tailored blend of practical and strategic support to update our website and communications strategy. They delivered the work within a tight timescale whilst being responsive to ongoing feedback. We are looking forward to building our relationship with them through future work.
