Customer acquisition
We train you in marketing, communication and sales
Without customers, a business is nothing but an idea. At the end of the year, after all, sales, profits and satisfied customers are what count. Do you dread phone calls, stumble through small talk and miss the mark with your sales pitches? Then try our free intensive courses, STARTIMPULSE lectures and workshops. Get the most out of your business and get more customers – our experts will show you how. Is your product or service ready for the market? And the only thing that’s missing is the customers? Get the most out of your customer acquisition efforts and visit potential customers personally, activate your network, send out mailings, use social media and take part in fairs. In our intensive courses, established experts will show you how to win customers and what you should bear in mind for your online campaign. Thanks to support partners such as DPD, FLYERALARM, Google, HP, Hertz, Microsoft, Mobility, PwC and Swiss Life, we can offer the courses free of charge. Our support for you: www.ifj.ch/courses: Free intensive courses on online marketing with Google, online and content marketing, writing mailings and systematic sales. www.ifj.ch/conferences_en: At our free STARTIMPULSE events in 13 regions in Switzerland, experts share the most important tips and insights for starting a business. And you can make new contacts at the drinks afterwards.

Finding investors
From the idea to the business plan and funding
If you want to evaluate an idea, start a company or help your existing company move forward, you need a business plan. Only when you know exactly what you want to achieve will you be able to persuade partners, banks, investors and customers to join you. In the past, the market was relatively stable; today, the only constant is change itself. The challenges facing entrepreneurs are increasingly complex: signs of a saturated market, changing consumer behaviour, falling product manufacture costs and the time factor are just a few of the keywords here. It is crucial to recognise change in good time and respond to it with suitable measures. Business plans are a great way to plan for your future in a responsible manner. As you do so, you can rely on our 25 years of experience and the IFJ BusinessPlan tool, the leading such instrument in Switzerland. Our support for you: www.businessplan.ch: Unique tool with instructional videos, templates and a wealth of valuable information about business plans. www.ifj.ch/BusinessplanBasic: In this workshop, you will create your basic business plan on the spot and learn the ins and outs of business plans. www.ifj.ch/BusinessplanAdvanced: In this free intensive course, experts from PwC teach you how to leverage the content of a professional business plan and find funding sources. www.ifj.ch/conferences_en: At these free lectures, you will gain a wealth of important knowledge from business people, investors and experts. www.venturekick.ch: CHF 130,000 in seed capital and training courses for spin-offs from Swiss universities and institutes of higher learning. www.venturelab.ch/innosuisse: Workshops and coaching for start-up talents from ICT, Advanced Engineering, Biotech and Medtech.

Plan for growth
Putting the optimal infrastructure in place
Growth brings your business more of everything: more customers, more sales, more profits and more employees. But also more challenges. We help you learn how to maintain a clear view of the situation in the midst of hectic daily operations, while keeping sight of your vision and strategy. Accounting, address management and order management are prerequisites for any successful company. Many business founders begin to realise this only after a year or two, when they have become swamped by invoices, customers, debtors and creditors, or are paying out large sums to an accountant. And when it comes to IT infrastructure, inexperienced entrepreneurs often settle for inadequate solutions. But that need not happen to you. We have developed web-based, comprehensive solutions that will simplify your everyday operations significantly. And our funding programmes open up international markets and the doors of big-name partners for start-ups with ambitious growth objectives. Our support for you: www.businessplan.ch: Unique tool with instructional videos, templates and a wealth of valuable information about business plans. www.ifj.ch/bexio: With cloud based business software, start-ups can take control of the administration of their business, from processing orders to online bookkeeping. www.ifj.ch/conferences_en: At our free lectures, you gain a wealth of useful tips and information from successful businesspeople, personalities and experts in the field. www.startup.ch: Free start-up portrait and the TOP 100 start-ups in Switzerland. www.venturelab.ch: World-class startups.
