Our founder and chief navigator, Sarah Lochead-MacMillan, was a former senior relationship manager for New Zealand’s largest bank. Speaking “bank” is an area she specializes in, working for the client and taking ZERO commission from the banks. We can help restore a good relationship if things have gone sour, we can mediate and translate. Often saving the banking relationship which enables the business to survive. We can also prepare applications for finance. We feel we have the exam paper and the answers on this one! Remember though it is always best to approach the Bank yourself first for finance (much cheaper that way). However, if you are struggling to communicate your needs we can help.

Many business owners find themselves needed in the business much more as they try to cut expenses to survive. However, now is the time the owners should be strategically driving their businesses. The $LM Group helps the business owners focus and be accountable, through mentoring, to ensure growth and strategic planning for their business vision. We have a Business Mentors New Zealand accreditation. We remove the emotion from the decision, help the business owner understand where they are, where they want to be and how to the heck to get there. We will also, when needed, identify and introduce specialist help, and get that specialist out again once the job is complete.

Being a fabulous connector our founder, Sarah, has helped business owners understand the power of networks and how to leverage them in a value add way. We have a toolkit to provide and can effectively teach businesses and individuals exactly how to succeed at networking. Sarah has also written a book shortly to be published “The Naked Networker” which gives you all the tools to get a sustainable network.
