Thirteen Twelve Consulting’s Post

Come down to The Glove Factory Wednesday. Sarah Moon from Total Business Network is grilling me on what I’ve learnt from growing two companies, the importance of purpose and values during each growth phase and how to overcome challenges of scaling a business while staying true to the founder’s values. Don’t expect me to have all the answers by now, every business is unique and with each new venture, you find yourself facing different obstacles. But here's what I've realised the more experience you can draw upon, the better you can adapt your journey to account for all your stakeholders. Yes I have some tools and theories I use but its not about having a perfect strategy but about being willing to learn, adjust and recommit to the oringal values that made you successful, every step of the way. If you've ever struggled with maintaining your company's values while trying to grow, you're not alone. Come to our deep dive into this topic in my talk tomorrow. #BusinessGrowth #CompanyValues #ScalingWithPurpose #LeadershipChallenges #LearningThroughGrowth #GloveFactoryTalk

If you won't ask, you won't get. One of the many nuggets of wisdom Brandon Steiner dropped at the EDPA Northeast Chapter event last night. Some of my other tidbits from the night: "Make it better, help others." -ways Brandon approaches every action or business idea. "Two random acts of kindness daily - it can even be as simple as a thank you note - can make a big difference in a person's attitude." "When was the last time you...?" -a great question to ask for anyone that makes another person's job seem easy without having any experience doing it. Thank you to 2XL Imaging for hosting the event. -------------------- Hi, I'm Jay Designing experiences for trade shows that drive ROI for our clients. #business #branding #sales #marketing #eventprofs 

🌐 Are you struggling with creating Consumer Duty (CD) Reports? We had an incredible Woodhurst and docStribute®️ webinar yesterday that tackled this very issue. 🗓 Our webinar addressed the crucial topic of Consumer Duty Board Reports ahead of the 31st July deadline. Hosted by Josh Rix, Co-Founder of Woodhurst, alongside docStribute®️ Chair Philip Shelley, our esteemed panel featured Nemone Wynn-Evans (Chair at Hinckley & Rugby Building Society), and Consumer Duty champions Rachel Curtis (NED at Loughborough Building Society) and Chris Adlard (Consumer Duty Manager at Newbury Building Society). They shared invaluable insights on the best approaches to Consumer Duty Board Reports, emphasising that these reports are not just a regulatory requirement but also key to driving conversations around customer outcomes. 🌟 Key takeaways included: 1️⃣ Be prepared to show vulnerabilities in the report: Transparency is crucial for meaningful improvements. 2️⃣ "By the firm, for the firm": These board reports are individual and bespoke to each society. 3️⃣ Impact on the future of boards: Focusing on customer outcomes means boards get much closer to the customer experience, a shift from past practices. We also conducted an interactive poll during the webinar, asking attendees, "What key challenges are you experiencing when creating Consumer Duty (CD) Reports?" The results are below 👇 🔗 Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event a success! #Webinar #ConsumerDuty #BuildingSociety #RegulatoryInsights

This was not attempt 304. Despite what Alex Williams ⚡️ says. A couple of weeks back we visited RT Expo to see our clients and also make some new connections. We did the same thing last year. But this year it felt different. And I think I’ve worked out why. Katie Sutton and I have been working really hard on our new business efforts and part of that is about going to meet new people and getting Frank & Friend out there more. Last year we didn’t really have much to say other than “Hello, we run a marketing agency.” And who really cares? Businesses pay a lot of money to exhibit at these events so just walking in cold and trying to sell to them isn’t a good look. But this year we approached new people with something valuable to them. We didn’t mention our services or try and sell ourselves in any way. And we got a better reception. It felt so much easier to start the conversation and both Katie and I had a much higher confidence in what we’re doing. It’s taken some practice to get right but as they say practice makes perfect. And it might sound obvious. But finding the thing that adds value is tricker than it seems. Now, perhaps I should apply that same thought on practice to my football skills? #MarketingAgency #NewBusiness #Practice
