GCS understands and supports the needs of market researchers in a competitive and highly demanding service industry.
This is an excellent niche market research training program specially designed for the market research industry. This will suit all levels of MR executives - from the market research analyst, the multi-tasking project manager, client servicing executive, field staff to the high powered, high passionate senior executives, directors and senior management. It will also suit businesses who want to conduct their own market research but do not know where to start.
CEOs, Managing Directors, General Managers: If you believe that people are your most important assets in a competitive service industry, isn't it about time you looked into how you are investing in your assets?
- What is your ROI on human capital?
- Are they being steered in the right strategic direction?
- Are they aligned to the Vision and Values of your organisation?
- How else can your human capital be effective in contributing to the bottom-line?
- Are your staff looking after your business and your clients well?
"Karyne worked for our company Phoenix Research before working at Gameplan Coaching. She is an outstanding researcher, with very good accuracy, a clear sense of strategic direction and a very strong work ethic.
She has extremely good design sense and ability to communicate research findings effectively. She is also a delight to work with and know as a colleague."
Market researchers and executives:
- Have you been in a situation where you or your colleague felt overwhelmed, stressed, tired, overworked and under-supported when projects are being managed to a tight deadline? The clients are calling for that overdue report, fieldwork or data processing has been delayed by yet another day, your team member is sick and the rest of the team are doing their best to keep the projects and themselves afloat.
- Have you occasionally felt that your work life balance has flown out the window, and there was no alternative solution to your situation? Do you feel trapped, and that time is ticking away?
- How do you learn to say No at the right time without feeling that you may jeopardise your career, affect your team performance or disappoint your clients?
- How are you planning your career path? Is someone watching out for your career pathway to success? Are you stepping up in your game plan?
- How are you showing up for your team?
- What would it take in order for you to be the best in your field, and yet have a great quality of life, have fun at work and love what you do?
DIY Market Researchers and all who are designing their own market research programs for their departments or businesses:
- Do you sometimes wonder if there was an easier way?
- Would you like to bounce some research ideas and have a sounding board to help you stay on the right track? This may save you a lot of time and money in the longer term.
- Deciding on Qualitative or Quantitative research? Which one's best suited for what we need? I can help you with that.
- How to I select a good MR agency? I can help you, no obligations, and I receive no commissions from any agencies. So when we work together in the selection process, I will be working solely in your best interests.
Managers & Team leaders:
- Have you ever wondered how you could boost your team's resourcefulness, communication, engagement, productivity and motivational levels even more, so that you will have a STAR team?
- Do you sometimes feel torn or stretched between managing your stakeholders, key clients and projects whilst nurturing and challenging your team in their training and development needs?
- How can you coach your team for consistent and maximum performance?
- How do you empower them to be independent, confident and resourceful?
- Do you have an apprehension for Sales, and prefer to bury yourself in the safe areas of research, data and analysis rather than cold calling or selling your services to existing or new clients
- How do you step up even more in your role as a leader to lead, serve, challenge, support, inspire the people around you?
