With the massive contribution that SMEs have to the UK’s economy, it’s important that they get the basics right

- 11-12 May 2016, Excel London – Stand 2360 -

With poor customer acquisition and marketing killing far too many business, The Entrepreneurs Circle (The EC), will be presenting a series of Masterclass workshops at The Business Show 2016, to provide delegates with a blueprint for attracting and retaining customers. With 70% of SMEs naming customer acquisition and marketing as their biggest challenges*, The EC, which is the UK’s largest membership organisation dedicated to helping businesses grow, will be presenting its ‘7-11-4 Formula’ for proven business success throughout the show.

Successful entrepreneur and founder of The EC, Nigel Botterill, and his team will be presenting the unique Formula in pre-bookable Masterclass sessions during the two-day show.

Nigel Botterill, founder of The Entrepreneur’s Circle said: “A quarter of small UK businesses are unsure of how to market their products and services effectively and reports have shown that the average SME only achieves 39% of their planned marketing activity**. With the massive contribution that SMEs have to the UK’s economy, it’s important that they get the basics right. At The EC, we provide a comprehensive set of tools, which help our members find and keep customers. We’ll be giving delegates an insight into our unique 7-11-4 Formula during The Business Show and look forward to sharing our expertise in this area.”
