<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Your business&rsquo;s future matters to us. We understand that you may be at a crossroads in your business&rsquo;s growth and wondering whether your investment in our services may be too premature or perhaps beyond your company&rsquo;s current needs. The following questions crop up all the time so we felt it would be a good idea to address them in an email because they probably apply to you too. </font></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Should we go ahead with a certification firm or not?<o:p></o:p></font></font></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Even small businesses should aim for certification. At the very least, it will represent a giant leap towards growing your business volume, something that would otherwise be more of a struggle over a far longer term.</font></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Is it the right time?<o:p></o:p></font></font></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">There is never a &lsquo;right time&rsquo;. Certification can take between three to six months. Put yourself ahead of the game sooner rather than later so when you are asked if you have all your certification in order, you can confidently and proudly say: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">&ldquo;We certainly do!&rdquo;<o:p></o:p></i></font></font></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Are we ready?<o:p></o:p></font></font></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Readiness is something we can help you determine. We will not attempt to persuade you to achieve certification if we feel it&rsquo;s not in your business&rsquo;s best interests. And that&rsquo;s a promise.</font></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Can we justify the expense?<o:p></o:p></font></font></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">When it comes to certification and the benefits it brings to your business as it moves forward, the cost is an investment in your company&rsquo;s future, rather than an expense. It will make all the difference in the world when you pitch against bigger players in your industry for lucrative contracts. You&rsquo;ll know firstly if you can cope with the contract and secondly, that you are just as capable of winning it as the &lsquo;big boys&rsquo;.</font></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">What will be the most significant Return on Investment for us?<o:p></o:p></font></font></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">How does the thought of winning government contracts appeal? With certification, your business can truly compete since you can only tender if your business has it. But how about the added benefits of:</font></p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-top: 0cm">
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">better organisation which equals greater productivity</font></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">safer, more organised workplace (massively reduced risk of litigation)</font></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">smoother systems and simpler processes that all staff can adopt</font></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">enjoy a reputation as a &lsquo;Preferred Supplier&rsquo;</font></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">attract more lucrative contracts</font></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">greater credibility</font></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">distinguish your business from your competitors</font></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">This time next year &ndash; sooner, actually &ndash; you could be a serious contender for any government contract. We&rsquo;d be grateful for an opportunity to answer any other questions for you so we hope you&rsquo;ll give us a call on 9677 0838.</font></p>
