VIP Days

Stop reacting and start being proactive

If you're unsure about how to elevate your business or decrease your work hours to focus on your area of genius, engaging me in a VIP Day will provide you with clear insights and a practical plan to follow.

​

VIP Days are one-on-one sessions crafted to address your specific needs. During these dedicated sessions, I will work closely with you to assess and refine your business plan or next project. 

In your VIP Day, we’ll look a the whole picture: 

 

  • Your strategy, your needs

  • Assessment and refinement 

  • ​Tools, systems and process optimisation

  • Actionable plan for implementation

  • Q&A and support

 

You will leave the session with a clear action plan. 

​

Under-resourced?

​

Don't have the resources to implement your plan or project? Don't worry, I can take care of execution for you or set your business up to be able to do it mostly in-house.

Business Advisor

"Laia has helped me a few times in my business, and last time she ran a strategy planning session for my new program to support Creative business owners.

 

Laia brings structure and processes - and makes it easy for me to follow a bouncing ball to do what I need to do, to achieve what I want to achieve.

 

I do this with my clients - but find it hard to do for myself."

Systems And Processes Review & Development

Create streamlined systems to make running your business easier

If it’s all in your head, you’ll never be able to step out of your role, sell your business or take a long break. 

 

Having standard operating procedures, systems, and the right software will help reduce time and increase efficiencies in your business - reducing errors, increasing profitability and creating a safe and streamlined work environment.

I’ll tailor a package to your needs, whether to create one-off standard operating procedures or work through several over time. 

 

  • Business process review - to audit and understand your current processes

  • Determine what improvements or new processes need to be developed

  • Create an action plan to prioritise standard operating procedure (SOP) development

  • Create SOP’s.

Lucas Grossi

Founder at Crowd Sourcing Limited

As a small business owner, our ability to accelerate and scale the delivery of our business without growing in permanent staff numbers meant using external help. Access to next-level advice is a lot harder to come by than I originally envisioned. Enter Laia (Elevate Business Management).

 

For the past 5 years, Laia has been a critical asset to our business, both at a strategy and planning level as well as at an execution level. With deep expertise in helping small businesses grow smartly, Laia has been consistently able to draw from her experience and adapt to our specific needs, maximising our efficiency and learnings and avoiding costly mistakes. 

 

She's implemented effective systems and processes that have enabled the business to go faster and better with an underlying philosophy of users in mind: "Build it in such a way that the right way is also the easiest way" has been her predicament all along, and it's worked great for us.

 

I found Laia to be proactive, efficient and fun to work with all this time. EBM's cost models are transparent and customised to our needs, enabling us to plan ahead. We'll continue to work with Laia in the future.

Laia Sastre | Elevate Business Manager

Hola. I’m Laia.

I get that it takes lots of time and energy to set the foundation of a business. 

 

As business owners, we want to be in charge of our time and flexibility, and it’s not always possible.

 

As a virtual business manager, I love to partner with small to medium businesses that want to work smarter, not harder, with fewer roadblocks getting in the way of what needs to be done. 

 

So they can grow a more profitable business without having to sacrifice work-life balance.

Three Simple Steps From Overwhelmed to Focused

1. Book A Call

The first step to working together is to schedule a consultation call. 

 

We’ll talk about your business's unique needs, goals, and challenges. During this call, I’ll help you to identify areas where my expertise and services can make a meaningful difference. 

 

I can tailor my approach to meet your requirements by understanding your challenges and aspirations. 

 

Additionally, this call serves as an opportunity to make sure we’re a good fit, ensuring a strong working relationship.

 

After your free 30-minute call, I’ll send a proposal detailing how Elevate Business Management can help your business.

2. Create A Plan

Once we’ve identified your business's needs, it's time to develop a strategic plan. 

 

This plan will serve as a roadmap to provide the necessary support and services to help you achieve your objectives. 

 

The plan will include clear, actionable steps, prioritised tasks, and milestones to track progress. 

 

The plan will be designed to adapt and evolve as your business grows and your needs change, providing ongoing support and direction.

​ 3. Make It Happen

With a solid plan in place, it's time to put it into action. 

 

I’ll begin implementing the strategies and tasks outlined in the plan, working diligently to ensure your business reaches its full potential. 

 

Throughout the process, we’ll keep in regular communication, providing updates on progress, addressing any challenges, and celebrating successes. 

 

As your trusted partner, I’ll keep you accountable to your goals and empower you to stay focused on the bigger picture. 

 

By working together, you'll be able to overcome obstacles, maximise opportunities, and achieve the growth and success you envision for your business.
