I can help you with Marketing, Marketing Planning, Business Plans, Mission Statements, Advertising, Franchise purchase,General Management challenges. My experience was primarily in Marketing and General Management based in Canada, France, and the USA; I managed both small and large teams, mainly focused on launching and managing both branded and generic products into very competitive markets. My personal focus was on team leadership, increasing sales and market penetration, controlling costs, and improving communications and partnerships with major corporate customers.; These customers were located around the world, and thus a knowledge and understanding of different markets, cultures and customs was essential. Later my wife and I opened an after-school tutoring franchise. We operated this business for more than 6 years, and gained valuable insights into the challenges of working with a franchisor. I have thus had experience in working with both large and small organizations, and have learned how demanding and lonely it can be to operate a small business. I believe that this experience can be put to good use by working with individuals who are hoping to start a business or looking to expand and grow a business that they already own.
