• Elevator Pitch

    R249.00 incl. VAT

    Welcome to the Sologix ‘Elevator Pitch’ course.

    The aim of this course is two-fold: it will help you craft an elevator pitch for your business, and it will introduce you to the Sologix online business coaching platform.

    Owners and managers of businesses of any life-stage, of any shape or size and from any industry will benefit by learning how to develop a mission statement and craft an elevator pitch for their business.

    Our approach to improving your business rests on two pillars. We use the business model canvas developed by Strategyzer as the basic template to evaluate your business model. We integrate that with the GrowthWheel business tools to create focus on making decisions and taking action in key areas in need of development.

    The course material is made up of four parts:

    • Two short articles to read as background,
    • A video of 10 minutes, putting in context and explaining the nuts and bolts of what we are trying to achieve. This you can download as an audio file to listen to at your convenience,
    • The numbered slide deck that we run through as a guide, which you can print to make notes if you like,
    • The two GrowthWheel decision sheets to complete with the information relevant to your business. This can either be completed electronically or printed, whichever suits you best.

    Our sole objective at Sologix is to help you run your business better, and we trust that you will accomplish that through the online coaching platform.

    R749.00 incl. VAT

    Welcome to the Sologix ‘Start up, or not?’ course.

    The aim of this course is to help you decide whether you should start a business or not.

    Budding entrepreneurs, as well as established enterprisers, will benefit from the course content and practical tools made available.

    Ideally, you should do the course before taking the first steps on your entrepreneurial journey. You may, however, still find it very useful even after setting out.

    In our approach, we use the business model canvas developed by Strategyzer as the basic template to evaluate your business idea. We integrate that with GrowthWheel to test specific key focus areas in your proposed business model for feasibility and viability.

    The course material is made up of four parts:

    • Short articles assigned to each module to read as background,
    • Videos of between 10 and 20 minutes, each putting in context and explaining the nuts and bolts of what we are trying to achieve. These you can download as audio files to listen to at your convenience,
    • The numbered slide deck that we run through as a guide, which you can print to make notes if you like,
    • The GrowthWheel decision sheets to complete with the information relevant to your business. This can either be completed electronically or printed, whichever suits you best.

    The video material will take approximately

    0 minutes
    to watch

    The GrowthWheel sheets will take

    0 hours
    to complete, depending on how much effort you put into it

    This is a substantial investment of your time which will assist you in deciding whether to start a business. Rather do it before you put time and energy into starting a business which you may come to realise will not work.
