One success story worth watching in Australian grocery retailing is Aldi. With their special buys, weekly catalogue and well known overseas brands (that no one knows here) they have an unbelievable advantage in price and differentiation.

One thing they did that really stood out to me a couple years ago was their $299 toilet offer, including installation. Who else includes installation as part of the sale of something that NEEDS installation!

Harvey Norman do and both operate a certain way to do it.

The tricky parts of this marketing strategy are:

• Installation quality can vary from site to site
• Installation issues can vary massively depending on how old the home is
• Co-ordinating plumbers in every suburb is a huge job
• Managing the ordering of trades for new purchases is a customer service hot spot

Aldi nailed it all and provided a good quality product and service. How do I know? I tried it out!

Business Course – How to create a Perfect Joint Venture

Learn how they created a Joint Venture that enabled them to sell a product that is normally delivered and installed by a trades person.

Not only did they sell a good quality product at a good price but they also helped their Joint Venture partner earn some money too.

One of the biggest risks that trades people have is credit risk, particularly the credit risk of supplying a product AND a service and copping the risk on both items.

The Xero Beginners Course includes training on Credit Risk to help reduce it.

Harvey Norman and Aldi use “perfect scenario installations” to sell their products. Very few installations are perfect so most people will need extra services and that is how both parties benefit from the Joint Venture.

Digital Marketing, Customer Service and Sales Training

Creating the perfect marketing offer is a strategy to increase sales but the follow through and communications from your team is what makes it successful.

The Targeted Ads, Customer Service and Training course gives you the knowledge and tools to create marketing strategies that provide results that you can measure.

It is built for micro businesses who sell products and services and one of the case studies is someone starting a bookkeeping business.

We receive a lot of inquiries from students who are interested in changing careers to do accounting work or become a bookkeeper and you DO need to know about bookkeeping to do this work.

That is why we include basic bookkeeping training in our Xero and MYOB Complete training courses. The Basic Bookkeeping Training Manual is available to all EzyLearn bookkeeping course students.

This training manual goes through and explains common transaction types that relate to:

• Assets,
• Liabilities,
• Income, and
• Expenses

You don’t need bookkeeping knowledge to do an EzyLearn Xero or MYOB Course

Apart from the bonus Basic Bookkeeping training manual the reason you don’t need to have prior bookkeeping knowledge is because we lead you through all the transactions in a logical, well explained course.

We’ll show you step-by-step how to perform the bookkeeping transaction you’ll enter when you work for an employer.

One of the hardest things about creating an accounting course is designing the flow of transactions for students to enter to ensure that they receive comprehensive knowledge. We’ve been refining our office admin and bookkeeping courses for over 25 years using case studies of different business types and with the help of our humorous business owner, Jerry Lame.

Watch some video testimonials from EzyLearn students to see how easy it is to learn Xero and MYOB.

Learning bookkeeping can be fun and we try to combine serious knowledge with humorous and REAL case studies of what really goes on in many businesses.

Do you remember what happened during the Covid 19 pandemic? Apart from the sick people, vaccine mandate and isolation the biggest difference has been the cost of it all and it seems like we are STILL paying for it!

Real estate prices are up a ridiculous amount as well as the cost of almost everything: Petrol, food, rent and Interest rates – all up. If you have a mortgage you will know exactly what I’m talking about.

Some people think that it is the result of the cost of all that spending by our governments but I don’t want to get political!

I’m writing to let you know of our current promotion for most COMPLETE course packages – Pre Covid pricing. Check out the offers and enrol now and learn at your own pace.

I spent the most part of a day securing some online services recently and it frustrated the #$%@*! out of me. That time could have been spent on something much more productive for a client or the business but it helped me realise something important.

We all need to protect what we have as well as go forth and try to create more.

With the challenges of interest rate increases and cost of living issues we all seem to be questioning where to spend our money (after we’ve cut costs to meet our budget).

Have you noticed that there is now an interest rates and increased penalties if you pay anything late?! This was never a real issue a couple years ago because interest rates were so low but now it is critical.

Some people I know are juggling which bills to pay first based on the costs and charges of being late!

All the while people still want to invest in something that increases in value and land is a viable option.

Are you transitioning to a career in accounting and bookkeeping or need to get your head around what bookkeeping work involves? This bookkeeping course is designed for you.

MYOB was once the market leader in Australia but that changed since Xero launched and focused 100% on becoming an online accounting program.

In the background Intuit took over the distribution of their QuickBooks software in Australia (away from Reckon, who now have their own accounting software) and offered QuickBooks Online directly – they also recently purchased Mailchimp!

All of these brands offer online accounting software and you can now learn how to perform the common bookkeeping tasks using all the leading brands.
