About the Course
Florists, are you struggling with how to cope with your flower business during the COVID crisis? Is the future uncertain? Do you not know where your income is coming from? What about sales? Is your business ready for a recession? What is the best florist business model for THIS recession? What are the best marketing strategies to sell during a crisis? What about this crisis? What do consumers want? Where are they now?
Since 2008 I've been developing a model in my flower business having taken in the stories, problems, struggles of florists and taking in the success stories, tips and tricks of top florists, CEOs of large transmission companies and very successful local florists. From this, I have been able to create a model for this COVID crisis, implemented the model and come out much, much stronger, creating certainty from the very unstable time, a working cashflow, a competitive business and a marketing strategy that works.
In this course I want to give you these elements of success for you to apply in your flower business.

Your Instructor
So this is me, Mike! I'll be the one teaching you all the courses. As a florist, I understand the famous pains and glorious gains of being a florist. But I also know how to explain the hard business and marketing knowledge into exercises and a common language we all understand: floristry.
My family has been in the business for 8 generations. Currently, our flower shop is in Madrid, Spain, being my grandfather who established the shop when he came down from The Netherlands before World War II. It's and interesting story, but for another day.
For now, just so you know, I'm passionate about helping people, and my high is when people can implement and succeed. Their growth is my success, and more importantly, the sector's most important gain.
