Quick help

Consulting, training & coaching for social entrepreneurs.

Although I have set up a training and implementation programme based on many years of experience especially for social enterprises, which forms an excellent basis for your ethical sales and your acquisition of business partners, sponsors, investors or institutional funders, every social business requires individual advice. Please get in contact with me to find out together what your Social Enterprise needs in this specific moment.

Are you worried that individual consulting of coaching is boundless? That it makes you dependent on me? That you don’t know what you are getting? Then have a look at my values. Or choose one of my standardised and yet individual packages here on this page.

Through the consulting we were able to analyze our sales process, successfully restructure it and train new employees. In addition, we were able to initiate the development from outbound to inbound marketing in sales, which we believe has a lot of potential.

Coaching Package 2

First approach: ethical cold calling

Do you want to approach potential business clients or partners you don’t know yet and interest them in your good cause? And in an ethical way, without being perceived as pushy or unpleasant?
Then this is the right product for you.
E

Why this product?

Many of us know them, the unpleasant advertising calls and mails. Irritating, annoying, unethical. It is important to know that this can be done differently, because otherwise we, who are passionate about social innovation and change, will find it unnecessarily difficult to make the first approach. Do good – and let others know it too!

What do we do?

The package consists of three parts.

  1. Briefing, check of your current practices, tools & guidance on the 3 ways to make ethical cold calls.
  2. Presentation of your revised variants, feedback from me
  3. Trying it out in your everyday life, shared reflection and learning.

    “Through the intensive work with Andrea, I am now not only well prepared for the most important conference in my industry, but have also received valuable strategies for my longer-term communication. What particularly stood out for me was that Andrea quickly got to grips with the most important aspects of my work without knowing the field well beforehand. For me, the way she talks about it turns Sales from bähbäh to yeah!”

    Coaching Package 3

    Benefit argumentation

    You have got people in your target group interested in your good cause and now you need to give them the chance to convince themselves of your great project? Do you have the feeling that you are not “convincing” or are you looking for the “right arguments” from time to time? Then this module is the right one for you.
    E

    Why this product?

    Often founders and employees of social enterprises are so enthusiastic and passionate about their good cause that they bubble over with details. This is human and nice and in principle not bad, but often not efficient and goal-oriented, because the interlocutors have to make mental transfers, which they are not always willing to do. It is therefore more important to emphasise the added value and benefits from the very beginning.

    E

    What do we do?

    The package consists of three parts.

    1. Briefing, check of your current procedures, tools & guidance for the development of a benefit argumentation
    2. Presentation of your revised arguments, feedback on them
    3. Trying it out in your everyday life, shared reflection and learning.
    E

    What is your advantage and what do you take with you?

    Result: In-depth conversations with potential business clients and partners will be easier for you in the future and you will have good arguments ready. You will gain confidence and know how best to prepare for your individual conversations.

      Coaching Package 4

      Hire ethical business development & sales experts

      You are looking for new team members for Sales or Business Development? The most diverse applications are now trickling in and you suddenly realise how difficult it is to make such an important selection for your impact business? You ask yourself: What makes a good sales/BD/acquisition employee of a social enterprise? What questions should I ask? What warning signals do I have to watch out for in the interviews? Then this module is the right one for you.
      E

      Why this product?

      Mistakes in recruiting sales staff are particularly expensive for social enterprises that care about impact, have tight budgets, and for whom the external image as an ethical and sustainable company plays an important role. Therefore, it is very important not to go into the selection process purely intuitively, but well prepared in order to avoid wrong choices.

      E

      How do we do it?

      We coach and advise the person(s) participating in the selection process on the part of the social enterprise in a mixture of short, practical input, a joint reflection on the most interesting CVs submitted, as well as personal advice based on 20 years of experience (I had learned from my mistakes!) in the form of a recommendation for the decision between the last two candidates.

      E

      What do we do?

      We will proceed in three online sessions as follows:

      1. Basis: Briefing on your goals, feedback on your (draft) job description. Introduction to the most important requirements that every sales and business development employee of a social enterprise should have, as well as the top warning signals to look out for. Basis: Briefing on your goals, feedback on your (draft) job description. Introduction to the most important requirements that every sales and business development employee of a social enterprise should have, as well as the top warning signals to look out for.
      2. Analysis: Joint analysis of the top 3 CVs
      3. Reflection on the decision: Reflection on your selection of the two top candidates with subsequent consultation & recommendation.
      E

      What is your advantage and take away?

      You will learn what the ideal candidate should bring with them in terms of basic requirements for sales & acquisition, how to check this by asking the right questions and what you should not overlook or do wrong under any circumstances. You save time and money in the selection process and avoid expensive mistakes of the wrong choice: a new time-consuming search, a good salary in the meantime and in the worst case even damage to the client/partner, e.g. loss of image. The chance of making the right choice, on the other hand, is multiplied by this manageable investment; you learn everything you need to be able to apply this independently in the future!

        Package price and added value

        You invest 750 €. plus VAT

        In return, your chance of making the right choice doubles and pays off in just 12 months!

        „The checklists and the sales-specific interview questions were particularly relevant for me in the context of recruiting consulting. Thanks to the coaching with Andrea, I not only found the right person for our sales team, but also internalised the values of ethical sales and integrated them into our organisational culture. Thank you for your reliability and continuous support.“

        Sophie Münzberg, Sales Team Lead, Impact Hub Berlin.

        Coaching Package 5

        (Multi-) stakeholder management

        Are you actually talking to the right people in the organisation that you want to win over for your good cause? If so, do you talk to them “properly”, i.e. do you hit their “nerve”? How can you keep an overview, especially in larger organisations with several contacts, such as ministries or corporates? Who decides on your proposal and how? Have you included all the important stakeholders and those involved in the decision-making process? Are there any stakeholders outside this organisation who are important because they have an influence on the decision, and if so, which ones?
        E

        Why this product?

        We have a good cause and a great offer to which one simply has to say Yes! and yet we are put off again and again or we get a surprise rejection despite the enthusiasm of our contacts. This happens when we have overlooked important stakeholders or don’t know the level of interest. The product Stakeholder Management, which has been specially designed for social and impact business, very quickly and clearly shows a picture of the situation in order to then get a lot closer to success – i.e. the decision for your good cause – without unethical manipulation. It shows clear strategies and instructions for dealing with stakeholders that offer you orientation.

        E

        What do we do?

        We will proceed in two online sessions as follows:
        After a briefing on the background of your good cause and the current situation you are facing, we will look at the stakeholders in your acquisition case and analyse their interests in a mixture of theoretical input and concrete application. You will receive tools and tips on how to proceed, as well as a checklist with homework before the second part of the session. In the second part of the session, we will take another look at the “situation”, review what we have learned and applied in the meantime, and make a recommendation for action for the future.

        E

        What is your advantage and what do you take with you?

        Your big advantage from this session is that you will save time in the future and be more successful in acquiring more complex organizations and projects because you won’t “overlook” anyone, but will have a clear focus on people. You will take away from this session a clear and visual picture of your current stakeholder situation and what you need to do now as next steps. You will learn to distinguish different roles of stakeholders and different types of decision makers, ask the right questions and adapt your communication to each recipient. You will increase your empathy and learn to understand other people better.

        Package price and added value

        You invest 500 € plus VAT

        Added value: All it takes is one major project that you don’t lose to make this investment pay off.

        The system you introduced us to of how to see in one glance who you are dealing with was new to me. I usually struggle with “boxes” and categorizing things, but this tool made total sense to me and is easy to apply, even for box haters. You have the talent to explain things very clearly. Your statements always stand as firm as you do. I like that you made clear suggestions, which were simple to apply and did not get lost in the complexity of it all. I also liked that I got a concrete tool I can directly apply without long preparations.

        Impact Scaling

         

        Do you want to scale your business and your impact? Or only your impact, but not your business? You have already thought about this and now want a sparring partner to review your scaling strategy?
        E

        Why this product?

        You’ve made it, your social enterprise has been established for some time and you now want to expand your sphere of influence. That’s great! But which is the right path for you? Which of the many options for scaling have you chosen? Developing a scaling strategy with an external expert or validating an existing one can save you from costly mistakes and save you money, because on the one hand there are favorable strategies for impact scaling and on the other hand there are mistakes that should be avoided at all costs. So that you can efficiently and successfully scale your impact, there is this workshop – Concentrated knowledge and lessons learned from other Social & Impact Businesses!

        E

        What do we do?

        In preparation, you will receive a questionnaire from me. After a short presentation of your social business and your impact chain (Theory of Change), you explain your existing scaling strategy or your thoughts and plans for scaling. We will then check together if you have considered everything and if there are alternatives that might be cheaper and more efficient. For this purpose, I will present a number of scaling options to you. We will also take a look at the requirements for scaling and check if your organization is ready for impact scaling and if it meets all the requirements. You will receive working materials that you can use in your organization. If you are still at the beginning of your considerations, we will work out the rough plan for your impact scaling in two half days online, which contains all important aspects of a successful strategy to be considered.

        E

        What is your advantage and what do you take-away?

        You will learn about the different ways to scale impact. The scaling check will bring you clarity on where you stand and where things are sticking, whether your organization is ready for scaling. You won’t miss anything important. You’ll learn the top 5 mistakes to avoid and the top 5 “ingredients” a successful impact scaling strategy needs. You’ll save a lot of time and money thanks to external expertise, and you’ll get tools, ideas and tasks to continue working independently on your scaling strategy.

        Investment and added value

        between 500 – 1.000 € plus VAT

        Added value: You will find potential savings in scaling your impact – a multiple of the investment made in this workshop!
