Kelso Consulting's Tim Prizeman is quoted in a recent article for RBS's banking clients full of tips on getting your business off the ground... an area where we have plenty of experience from working with start-ups and scale-ups over the past 20 years.

As we all know, it is both what you know and who you know that matter, and being able to mobilise this for your benefit.  In it Tim advises: 

Kelso Consulting has a busy schedule of webinars to help businesses make 2019 a successful year despite the ominous economic backdrop.

Indeed, with caution currently widespread clearly and strongly communicating your credibility, value and distinctive proposition will be even more important for businesses looking to grow.

Many B2B firms miss out on one of the most effective sources of new leads.... the first page of Google when prospects are searching.

While some firms put in the effort and, as a result, generate a regular flow of suitable leads, many others either fail to make it a priority or are in denial about its benefits (which of course becomes a self-fulling prophecy).

Our recent webinar provided a 6-step process to help B2B businesses, especially professional, consultancy and tech firms, get to the top of Google for the keywords that matter for them.

Standing out as an expert on the important commercial problems facing your clients and prospects is a powerful position.
