Business: Consultancy for Our Generation
This is another bolstering blog to let you know why you simply can’t do without The Planner if you are looking to develop your business. Obviously, we are biased, but genuinely, we can help. We’ve done it before, continue to and look forward to doing it again and again.
I am fully aware that “Business Consultancy” is almost considered outdated these days. The thought of some stuffy know-it-all with a briefcase coming in to tell you how to run your business is a little old hand and, I imagine, not what you’re after. I am also guessing, as you are here, that you are not interested in the latest online workbooks or “How to Improve your Business: A 999 Step Online Guide.” Well, I certainly don’t own a briefcase and have no interest in a “how to” for my business, muffins, yes, but not my business. As The Planner I am fully aware what needs to be done, but have a particular way of doing it that suits our generation of businesses and the world we now live in.
Firstly, it is worth noting that you simply will not find me talking about what people “normally” do. “Normal” is not what The Planner is and “normal” is not what your business needs.
As you will have gathered from The Planner’s business pages, our service “can provide, but is not limited to…” various elements which may, or may not, be relevant to your business. We have this to highlight those all important areas but to also remind you that we are here to work to your needs rather than make you work to our template. In a world of generic online guides and how to templates, I’m here to remind you business consultancy, specifically our brand of consultancy, is the most productive decision for your business. While online guides may be tangible, it doesn’t mean the results will follow as they simply don’t analyse your business and don’t offer particular and specific advice. You’re not just another…(fill in the blank) so don’t settle for generic.
consultancy /kənˈsʌlt(ə)nsi/- noun -a professional practice that gives expert advice within a particular field.
Consultancy is communication.
A good conversation (over tea, or wine…) will allow me to determine how you like to work and what processes we should implement. Through our consultancy process we will talk to you, a lot, we will interact with you personally and professionally, we will implement the elements that will benefit you and won’t waste time making you change things that you are already nailing!
You hire The Planner to have access to our extensive knowledge of the wedding industry, our intuition and trend awareness and our up to date policies on marketing and sales processes that resonate with those all important couples. We know the results will be lasting because you have chosen the right tools to develop your business. The tools that will directly relate to your business while also considering the greater industry.
In this day and age it is easy to take the quickest or simplest route but as we have all seen, patching a hole doesn’t fix it. I totally understand that you want to solve your problems yourself, we all do, so as the background support to your greatness, we will provide professional advice to allow you to shine in the glory of your results.

Venue Consultancy New Business Supplier Consultancy
A note to the venue…
Dear Venue…
Dear Venue,
You do realise no matter who they are or why they are there, you are the Host to every guest that walks through your door (or gate). Even if it is dry hire or the couple bring in a wedding planner (Hi!), you are responsible for turning on the lights and making sure they don’t go out. You are responsible for ensuring the temperature is comfortable despite everyone running at different temperatures.
Managing a venue is a minefield. You have hundreds of things to consider, possibly more than any other supplier within the industry. It’s not just about first impressions, it’s about making it last.
I’ve helped many venues. From set up to operational management, marketing to accounts and that all important bottom line, building renovations to staffing, you name it, I’ve been through it. I’ve made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and I want to share.
This isn’t an online workbook you can eventually ignore and I don’t limit the number of calls you can make. This is old school consultancy and this is personal. If you really want to make improvements we need to get going.
Call, email or messenger pigeon to get in touch and let’s get started.
