Unlock your potential with Blake Consultants
Whether you’ve been running a business for years or started one just yesterday, you’ll know that growth and success is all about beating challenges.
They can be challenges related to mindset, financial targets, operational goals, and they’re often things that have elements outside of our control. But when we beat them, we are able to build and scale a successful business.
Over the past 15 or so years, Blake Consultants has helped many service businesses get off the ground, scale their offering and achieve sustained growth. We do this by focusing on three things;
·?????? simplicity
·?????? strong systems and processes, and
·?????? a sustainable approach to delivery
We’re dedicated to helping small businesses understand and simplify their processes, leverage CRM systems to get a handle on their data, and ultimately scale and sustain growth.
Importantly, we’ve been there ourselves, we’ve built and grown a business, and we know the impact this can have on you, your lifestyle, and your wellbeing.
What does success mean to you
It’s our focus on a stress-free approach to life that makes us different. We strongly believe that life should be straightforward. And we understand that success means different things to different people. So, we apply our three tenets to our work in the following ways:
If you are looking for growth and high turnover, we will simplify, sustain and scale the business you love, to enable it to grow and thrive for years to come.
If you love what you already have, we simplify your systems and processes, enabling you to deliver to a consistently high standard and enjoy the lifestyle that your business affords you.
If you want solid foundations, we will strengthen your systems and processes to sustain your current business and give you the opportunity for future growth should you want it.
Of course, businesses don’t fit in boxes so everything we do is bespoke, sometimes involving a combination of approaches. We meet you where you are, and help you get to where you want to be.
Providing solutions to grow your business
At Blake Consultants, we believe that it is fundamentally important to get the building blocks right in your business. Our work with Contact Relationship Management (CRM) systems reflects this and we have helped hundreds of businesses to implement the perfect system to provide the backbone to their operations.
A good CRM, and we recommend CapsuleCRM, will help you to standardise, enhance and track the progression of every business relationship you have, from customers to suppliers and associates, partners and your supply chain.
We design and build bespoke versions of CapsuleCRM so that they perfectly match the size and shape of your business, enabling you to standardise the journey of clients and prospects which leads to more consistent outcomes.
One of Julia’s favourite sayings is that “having a good CRM is like having a clone of your best self.”

Business Growth Strategies
Part of the secret to building a powerful CRM system is understanding who your ideal clients are and what journey they can take through your business.
We also help clients to build sales and delivery processes which enable them to attract the right clients as well as maximising the opportunities for each relationship.
We do this by carrying out a gap analysis focused on your client journey, data compliance or your systems and process design. Wherever these things can be strengthened, we’ll help you find the missing steps.
Often, we find that business fail to manage their data in the best way they could. Making sure you have secure, compliant data is important because it’s the lifeblood of your business. If it’s not protected and becomes compromised, you can suffer real damage, both financial and legally.
For that reason, our data protection services include fitness checks, GDPR guidance, privacy policies and data organisation.
What’s it like to work with us?
Our existing clients often talk about our attention to detail, professional yet friendly approach and our expertise. But what would it be like if you worked with us?
We always start with a discovery call which helps us identify the best service for you. Once we’ve identified your needs, and the initial paperwork is done, we’ll set a date for the ‘kick off’ meeting. This is when we look at the detail of your business, understand what’s going well, what needs improving, where your bottlenecks are and what your data is looking like.
We keep kick off meetings to one hour, we find that that’s usually the right amount of time for everyone involved. We then discuss the next stages and get the dates in the diary to keep the momentum going.
Once a project is complete, there’s always the option to continue working with us through our consultancy bundles. These can be used as and when needed, usually online, and they mean we’re able to provide additional support on past projects or help you plan for new ones.
