Biz-Guru bags bronze
Biz-Guru from Brackenhurst was awarded bronze in the small business category at the annual Roodepoort Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ROCCI) business of the year awards.
ALBERTON- Biz-Guru from Brackenhurst was awarded bronze in the small business category at the annual Roodepoort Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ROCCI) and First National Bank (FNB) business of the year awards on November 7.
The annual ROCCI/FNB Business of the year awards is one of the most prestigious events on the Roodepoort social calendar. ROCCI seeks to identify and acknowledge businesses that have achieved success and that truly embody the spirit of enterprise. In total 268 companies were nominated and 92 companies made presentations to a judging panel. This awards programme is open to all businesses and not only those in Roodepoort.
“The fact that we were nominated just 18 months after breaking away from the international franchise, Sales Partners whose brand we traded on for years, is a huge compliment. Achieving bronze shows how far our brand and business have come. It is very humbling to be recognised for the hard work and the change that we effect in the businesses that we work with,” says Anthea Vorster, founder of Biz-Guru.
Since the company’s inception in 2008, they have worked with hundreds of companies ranging from macro-sized to single person businesses, helping them to attain dramatic breakthroughs in sales, team building, leadership and change management.
“To see the passion ignite again in business owners that recently just tried to survive is an amazing process. Our passion is development, training and mentoring. We work with companies over a long period of time, mentoring and coaching them,” explains Anthea.
The Biz-Guru’s approach to holistic change management is possibly the secret to their success. Using a proprietary analysis tool to scientifically determine the net present position of both the business they are working with and individual people within it, Biz-Guru is able to accurately identify areas that are in need of development. This results in a growth map that provides clarity and direction. Biz-Guru then helps the business to achieve this designed growth by developing a holistic business strategy which includes sales, BEE and skills development. For Biz-Guru and its experienced coaches and trainers, it’s always been about the return on investment. “If you don’t see the growth on your bottom line, we’re not doing our job,” concludes Anthea.
