HowNow® Business Partners
For many of our clients who are business advisory firms such as accounting practices, a natural next step after implementing HowNow® and experiencing the benefits within their own business is to recommend HowNow® to their own clients.
When a client of the firm mentions that they are experiencing issues relating to a lack of systemisation within their business, it's easy to demonstrate and discuss the ways HowNow® can help to standardise and systemise the way their business operates.
Some of our clients—HowNow® Business Partners—actively assist their clients in the implementation of HowNow® and earn fees for providing this service. Others are happy to leave the implementation to businessfitness™ and these firms simply refer their clients to businessfitness™.
Some of the accounting and business advisory firms who recommend HowNow® to their clients and then assist in the implementation and content development for their clients include (listed alphabetically):
HowNow® Business Partners
Each of these firms first implemented HowNow® in their own business before seeing the natural extension to then recommend HowNow® to their clients.
HowNow® Trial Version Available for Business Partners
Now available to HowNow® Business Partners is a HowNow® Trial Version for demonstrating HowNow® Business to your clients. When you insert this USB stick, a brief PowerPoint® presentation displays to help you step your client through an explanation of what HowNow® can do for their business. The HowNow® software can then be started by clicking a link at the end of the presentation.
Conveniently, the HowNow® Trial Version runs entirely off the USB stick. There is nothing for you to install on your or your client's computer and it's small and light enough to keep in your top pocket when you're going on site to visit your clients.
If you're an existing businessfitness™ client and would like to receive a HowNow® Trial Version on USB stick for demonstrating HowNow® Business to your clients, please contact us.
Business Partner Opportunities
If your business has already implemented HowNow® and you (or members of your team) have extensive experience in business advisory services and you have a passion for systemising businesses, an eye for detail, commitment to follow through, strong computer skills, and the ability to write (and coach your clients in writing) procedures, checklists and other business systems documentation, you are ideally suited to becoming a HowNow® Business Partner.
