This session helps business owners step back, assess the full picture, and focus on building a business that’s clearer, stronger, and easier to scale over time.

If your business is busy but the bank balance isn’t moving the way it should, chances are the problem isn’t marketing — it’s your numbers.

In this BOSIO session, veteran business coach and turnaround specialist Kevin Hargraves breaks down the few critical numbers inside your profit and loss statement that quietly determine whether your business struggles or thrives. Kevin shows how small, realistic changes to just three areas can dramatically increase profit — often without adding staff, working longer hours, or spending more on ads.

This is a practical, eye-opening session for business owners who want more money left over at the end of the month, not just more activity.

Where most businesses leak money without realising it

Why discounting is far more dangerous than it looks

How pricing mistakes silently destroy margins

Practical ways to increase revenue without extra marketing spend

How to think like a business buyer, not just an operator

Why It Matters:

Most small businesses fail not because they lack effort, but because they don’t understand the financial levers that actually drive profit. When you know which numbers matter — and which ones don’t — you can make smarter decisions fast. This session gives business owners clarity, confidence, and control, helping them protect their margins, strengthen cash flow, and build a more resilient business, especially in uncertain economic times.

You’ve got plenty of connections… but not enough clients coming from them. Sound familiar?

This BOSIO session tackles one of the most common frustrations for business owners — networking hard, showing up consistently, yet struggling to turn relationships into real referrals and revenue.

In this practical and down-to-earth conversation, Kacie Brignell breaks down how to move from simply knowing people to becoming the person they actively recommend. You’ll learn how to build meaningful connections, introduce yourself clearly, use LinkedIn properly, and create a referral strategy that works without feeling salesy, awkward, or forced.

Why networking often stalls at “connections” instead of clients

The three biggest reasons referrals don’t happen

How to introduce yourself so people actually remember what you do

How to use LinkedIn like a relationship tool, not a pitch fest

Why It Matters:

Referrals are one of the most powerful — and cost-effective — ways to grow a business, but they don’t happen by accident.

This session helps small business owners turn everyday conversations into long-term opportunities, stronger visibility, and a steady flow of warm leads without chasing or cold pitching.

Steve Brossman reveals how to shift the sales conversation so you're not pushing people to buy—they're excited to buy from you. Discover the art and science of FLOW Selling, and why understanding how people buy is far more powerful than learning how to sell.
