The new Small Biz Matters program is all about People, Policy, Purpose. It is conversational and chatty and dedicated to empowering small businesses and their advisors to engage with policy and advocacy. Why? Because what Government does very much Matters to all Small Biz. Good and bad. A labour of love, in 2014 Alexi Boyd started broadcasting to give back to the local small business community. She knew information and support was lacking. Now with over 220 podcasts, the show is sought by PR Agencies and Government departments for its rich, informative content. Media Partners include universities, the Australian Tax Office, ASBFEO, COSBOA and international fintechs. Sponsored by the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman’s office, each week we sit down with experts, advocates, business leaders, policy makers and politicians to dive into specific areas of government policy that affects your business and clients. We’ll give you a heads up on what’s coming down the policy pipeline, find out who’s fighting in your corner and empower you with ways you can influence those decisions which affect your business every single day. The program is broadcast weekly on Tuesdays live on local community radio Triple H 100.1FM, through the Community Broadcasting network, and wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.
with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management Services
Date: 12 March 2019
Some people may scoff at industry awards as a system of rewarding those who are well known, well connected and high up in the pecking order of their profession. But sometimes hard work, perseverance and tenacity is actually recognised. And not many awards are coveted more than the Australian Retailer of the Year, particularly in a sector all small businesses understand to be the toughest to operate in.
This week I am lucky enough to interview Dean Salakis from The Party People, the 2018 Australian Retailer of the Year. We’re going to chat about what winning such a prestigious award meant to his business and how he made the most of the opportunity. Plus, he’s going to share some top tips on what going on a TV show like Shark Tank REALLY means for your business.
Welcome to the show Dean.
Topics we’ll be covering:
- Tell us about your small business journey and how long your “overnight success” really took!
- Small business started by a clown turned into a market leader for party supplies
- Growing 2 employees to 40 employees was a learning experience. How to achieve such growth, challenges and lessons learned. Hacks for growing on a shoestring budget and tricks I wish I knew earlier.
- How a small business manage to achieve such firsts as being google ads first customer in Australia, bing ads first customer in Australia, Facebook’s first accelerator program customer globally, first cross retailer scan and go implementation in Australia and more.
- My experience on shark tank and what outcomes were achieved
- What does winning those industry awards really mean for a small business and how you can leverage your marketing in a practical way from those successes?
- Why we won 2018 independent retailer of the year for the second year in a row and 2018 online retailer of the year. Also why I was named 2018 retail leader of the year for the second year in a row.
