Practical Marketing Coaching and Enrollment Support for Conscious Entrepreneurs who LOVE to Teach

Are you FABULOUS at what you DO and CARE about but hesitant to boldly market yourself? Are you embracing Social Media? Blogging?

Would support and assistance help you follow through on your best ideas?

My cumulative years of experience with journalism, publishing, advertising, sales, event production, coaching and enrollment services have made me wholistically skilled at business development and client services. I particularly enjoy championing personal and professional development and educational opportunities.

As a trainer and educator are you also skilled at registering participants or does delegating that appeal to you?

I am skilled at identifying people who would benefit from your expertise, and help them through the enrollment process.

Call it what you know it as: consultative sales, business development, recruiting or marketing support. I specialize in ENROLLMENT: being advocate, champion and evangelist for professional services, continuing education and trainings.

As fellow Bizniker and coach Tammy Redmon so elegantly puts it:

"Elevate yourself as the expert and have a third party make the calls for you. A trusted source works great. Someone who knows you and your product can act as an evangelist to get you in the door."

You be the expert; let me be your evangelist.

What can you count on me for as your advocate?

I'll get you more than in the door, I'll be the bridge between you and your offering and the people/organizations whom are destined to be working with you.

I am also enthusiastic about and skilled at marketing research and "follow up" that creates opportunities to speak and present and identifying new channels for business development.

Permission based and referral based marketing efforts with a personal touch and pleasant persistence for professional development and trainings are my specialty.

I ACTUALLY like making phone calls! I enjoy following up and asking for referrals. And I love tough marketing research projects.

I am naturally curious, genuinely interested and passionate about helping people get what they want for themselves. I facilitate great connections between people and the resources they seek.

I am adept at listening deeply, asking just the right questions, and skilled and artful at conversation.

Heart to heart enrollment: business development at it's best.

Are you an educator and trainer looking to increase the number of attendees in your offerings year round or seasonally?

Are you an educator and trainer who is great at what you teach, in need of assistance with PR and outreach to organizations or locating speaking and presentation opportunities locally or nationally?

I seek, educators and trainers to support/coach and provide enrollment services to who want full classes, waiting lists and an abundance of referrals.

I seek strategic partners for collaboration wanting to offer clients a Whole System for Business and Marketing Support. (e.g. you just optimized their website so well, inquiries have increased and now you don't have time to follow up as promptly as you like and you don't want to miss the opportunity to attract their business.)
