Are you great at what you do, but stuck on how to translate your passion or skill into a successful business? Do you spend a lot of time working for your clients and in your business, but not a lot of time working on your business? Maybe you have checked out all of the different business resources and information sources out there, but don’t know what to do with it for your specific business?  Or maybe you really need and want an accountability partner to help you work on what you need to do for your business?

Then click the “elevate now” button and take a big step to move your business to the next level. Coaching sessions with me allow you to sit down and thoroughly discuss your business with someone who will help you figure out your business’ weaknesses and strengths, and then work through ways to strengthen the weak areas and maximize the potential of the strong areas.  That is why we usually work together in either a 5 session or a 10 session plan.

Like any great coach, I will be there to instruct and guide you using my successful business experience and my vast network of resources. Instead of just telling you what to do, I will assist you in learning not only the “what” to do, but the “why” to doing it, and the “how” to maintaining it. I will take what I learn about you and your business and develop a coaching plan specific to your business needs – then together we work through it.

We will focus on five key areas:

• Marketing Tools, including:
  Marketing Mix
  Website and Branding
  Industry Shows and Events
• Social Media, including:
  Online Presence
  Content and Messaging
  Responsiveness
• Business Systems, including:
  Software Use
  Consistent Processes
  Outsourcing of Tasks
• Reviews & Reputation, including:
  Online Reviews
  B2B Relationships
  Becoming a Resource
• Financial Management, including:
  Pricing
  Cost Management
  Budgeting

 

But, naturally, we aren’t locked into focusing on any one thing, since it is about what your business needs – and you need – now.

Want Coaching? Here is how it works:
Step 1 – Click the Elevate button to set up an initial discussion with me about your business and where you want to take it. This is at no cost or obligation to you, and is essential for both of us to determine if we are the right fit for each other, as I believe that a great partnership in this process will make it more successful (and more fun) for us both. No matter where you are based, we will easily meet via Zoom or Skype so that we can see each other as we talk.

Step 2 – Officially sign up to a partnership with me, paying the coaching fee ($1300 for a 5 session plan or $2000 for a 10 session plan). I will then ask you to fill out a questionnaire on your business and to provide me with any supporting business documentation you have (and I can send you a “Nice and Simple Business Plan” template if you don’t yet have one), as well as to sign a contract with a Confidentiality Agreement, as I never want you to worry about anything we talk about.  An open and honest partnership is the way this really works. Based on the information you provided and what we discussed in the initial session, together we will work through a coaching process that is specific to you and your business.

Step 3 – Begin your one-on-one sessions designed to take your business to the next level, and gain an accountability partner as you work through it. Each coaching plan is developed to include either five or ten sessions (10 sessions is the most popular), with the focus being on the main areas of business improvement initially discussed. In each coaching session, we will work on whatever is the most pressing need or might make the biggest impact on your business, and will adjust the plan as necessary to keep your business moving in the right direction. Naturally, we will be flexible to change that plan as we go, based on whatever is happening with your business at the time, as new or time-sensitive opportunities might require a focus that we didn’t know about initially.  As a result, these sessions can be weekly, twice a month, monthly, or randomly, based on your specific schedule and business needs.  Some clients almost treat it like I’m available to them on retainer, pulling me in to discuss things as they arise!

Step 4 – You use what you have learned and implemented during the five or ten sessions to achieve long-term success by taking your business to where you want it to be.  And, don’t worry, we will absolutely stay in touch as you go!
