Consulting to help you Increase Revenue and Margin per Employee

The chances are that you know what it is that your top 10% performers do...

 You also have a good idea as to what your bottom 10% are not doing ...

What you may not know is...
why the middle 80% perform they way they do.

Taking practical performance improvement action faster
than your competitors can be the key to delivering real
increased revenue, margin and competitive edge.

This is especially so in tough economic climates where
your edge could be measured in days or weeks
not months or years.

Specific behaviours and skills drive performance,
and managers and leaders are challenged to drive
performance with greater clarity at both ends of the
performance continuum as they streamline their businesses.

A Rainmaker consultant knows that you may have to dance to different tunes to create
opportunities for your people and your business to grow.

That may mean looking at what you do and the way that you do it. 
It may also mean looking at the people who are performing the tasks
and looking at how they are trained or prepared for the tasks they have to do.

How does Rainmaker help?

We work with you and your business teams to:

• Help you find out what your top 10% performers do the others don’t
• Show you how to get your middle 80% to perform like your top 10%
• Show you the behaviours and processes that will underpin performance
• Develop the best way to close the gaps

How do we do that?

Quite simply, we have the best tools for measuring the behaviours that drive improved
performance and success - at all levels.

What do your current clients say of the consultants?

A client recently said of Kevin Howes:

"The programme conducted by Rainmaker has been one of the most instructive
and useful experiences of my working life. The Rainmaker coach quickly
understood my business and challenges and provided a non-judgmental,
balanced and pragmatic view.
