COVID-19 forced the business\u2019s owners, Carolyn and Marc Watson-Paul, to quickly rethink their path to market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new online store was top of the priority list when the duo applied for the grant. However, other challenges quickly emerged, too \u2013&nbsp;including finding a new bottle supplier as its previous supplier was unable to meet demand. A different size bottle required differently-sized labels and boxes \u2013 all of which combined to delay the website launch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four months on, however, things are looking up, and the grant money proved a valuable confidence boost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving to get new bottles was just one more blow,\u201d says Carolyn. \u201cWe would have had everything operating a month earlier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe grant money gave us the confidence to hold on to build the website and all of the little things that would support that.\u201d &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in Tassie, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrysgingerbeer.com.au\/product\/12-pack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henry\u2019s Ginger Beer online store<\/a> and stock up in time for Christmas.

In addition to that, they were able to add a whole new layer of training for leaders, managers and supervisors to their existing platform. There are now around 70 courses on the platform \u2013 the vast majority of which apply to the US market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen the grant came in, I thought, \u2018Yes! That\u2019s going to help us build content on our platform\u2019,\u201d says co-founder Dr Susanne Bahn. \u201cIt meant we didn\u2019t have to stop. We didn\u2019t have to worry about reducing staff hours; we could just continue with our plans. We were going to expand into the US in 2021 \u2013&nbsp;instead, we\u2019re doing it now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tapintosafety.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keep employees safe with Tap into Safety<\/a> and connect on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/tap-into-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tapintosafety.com.au\/home-office-ergonomics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/tap-into-safety-tweet.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"New course on the Tap into Safety online training platform\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"murrimatters\">Murrimatters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ACT-based consulting group Murrimatters helps businesses be more inclusive, and it has put its $10,000 grant towards delivering virtual programs and hiring specialised consultants to help redevelop its programs, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-COVID-19, Murrimatters travelled across the country and further afield to facilitate Engoori and Deficit Discourse Programs.

to your success. With the emergence of Cloud Computing along with Mobile, business is faced with its greatest opportunity ever to deliver an unparalleled experience to customers and enjoy new levels of success. Today I am responsible for leading the Commercial Sales Team at Salesforce across ANZ, which means I am invested in the collective growth of the small to medium sized businesses in Australia and New Zealand.
