Can You Use A “Aha” Moment in 90 Minutes?

Breakthrough
Breakthrough

I am having a "aha" moment.

Group coaching may not be for you and you may not want any long term private coaching. But you do want some help and you need it fast. Well Pam has come up with a new program that will Jump Start your training immediately. It is called the 90 Minute Breakthrough. It is fast and easy and very intense.

First you will complete the Business Assessment form and then it’s time to get down to brass tacks. In 90 minutes you will get what you need, what you were stuck on and what was keeping you up at night. No fluff and stuff just the facts and transformation.

Many small businesses are stuck these days. They are just struggling just to stay in business. Many won’t seek help and a lot of small business can’t afford not to seek help. Many have simple questions they need answers to and want resolve right away. If there was a way you could get that type of assessment in just 90 minutes, would you invest and get your “Aha” moment? If you could get one-on-one coaching and have an action plan at your finger tips would it be worth it to you? Of course there will be some effort on your part to prepare for your “aha” moment.  So I challenge you to start “kicking butt” and stop sitting on the sidelines knowing that if you do nothing, then nothing will change and you will continue to wonder if your marketing is on point, your brand needs a makeover, your graphics need an update, your mindset need to grow, your time management need skills need work. The list can go on, I think you get the picture.

90 Minute Breakthrough Coaching/Consulting Session:  If you are stuck in a specific area and need clarity, this is for you. Pam will review a questionnaire with you that you prepare in advance of the call, and then you will experience an amazing change in just 90 minutes.   (Free 1 month membership in the Smart Business Empowerment Coaching Program in the Silver Level  a $199 value.)

Republicans War On Women

Women
Women

My Body, My Life, My Health Care

Normally I post about marketing, client attraction, business tips. But today I am outraged about the Republicans War on Women. They are trying to strip away a women’s right to have health care, breast exams, pap smear and that We Should Stay In the Home and Not In The Workforce. Read On below

Even if you are a republican woman, just look at the rights that might be taken away from you if you let the republicans past this legislation. While you may not agree with having an abortion, this goes way beyond having an abortion. This is interfering with women’s health care.

Just take a look at the top 10 shocking, crazy things Republicans have proposed in recent weeks. If you think this constitutes a war on women, please share this email far and wide—forward it, and post it on Facebook and Twitter.

I wish I could say these were the only examples of the Republican war on women. But it’s just a sampling, and more is sure to come—unless we raise a ruckus and call them out. So please, share this email today.

Thanks,

Kat

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women’s access to abortion care, they’re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven’t.

2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to “accuser.” But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain “victims.”

3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)

4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids. 

5) In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.

6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids’ preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.

7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.

8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.

9) Congress voted yesterday on a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.

10) And if that wasn’t enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can’t make this stuff up).

  • If you want to succeed, you will need to think about marketing all the time.
  • How much time, effort and thinking you think your marketing requires.

Are You Using A One Step Approach To Attract Clients In This Slow Economy Time?

Building Relationship
Building Relationship

Are You Building Relationships

If you are in business you need to be sure you are not doing the One Step Approach Client Attraction Marketing . If you are, you are bound to lose more clients than you will gain. The first question you should ask yourself is “How can I attract more clients and maximize my profits in this slow economy”? Answering this question is critical to your success. What are you missing?

Hint Hint.. You know that to attract more buyers and to make more sales you need to do what?—-Generate leads and convert those leads into sales and get more repeat sales.  And you can do this offline as well as online and you can be a man or woman. You just can’t do the one step approach.

You have to make sure you are using a simple set of proven strategies that will make more money from your existing efforts and business. That’s right it is possible to make more money by just applying  just a few key profit making strategies to your business.  Trying to sell your products or services to someone who don’t, know, like or trust you or understand your value, you will soon be fighting an uphill battle. As you know marketing is a mult-step process and nowadays it is even more important than ever to really connect with your prospects so that even when the economy is slow your prospects and or clients will still buy from you.

So here’s a little secret. “First get your prospects attention and then get them to contact you. Many times there are no short cuts to getting the sale.”

Here are some of the steps to Attracting More Clients In These Economic Times.

1. Get More Attention Fast-Your marketing message is key. If you have the right message, it will unlock doors to new business and start converting them to clients. However if you have the wrong message you will be out in the cold wondering what went wrong.

2. Build a Massive List of Interested Buyers-Do you know what to do to attract more buyers? First you  need more qualified leads. The more qualified prospects you have interested in your products or services, them more you are able to sell. So build your list.

3.  Eliminate Obstacles-Have you ever lost a sale due because a prospect objected to your product or service? For example “I need to think about it”, “It’s too expensive”, or “We already have someone”.  It’s always annoying to lose a sale to because a prospect just doesn’t understand your product or service. In reality, they just don’t have enough information about your product or service. Set up a follow-up system so your prospects will have all the information they need to purchase your product or service.

4. Motivate More People To Buy-Introduce a sense of urgency. Without a sense of urgency, people may take their time to purchase your product or service. Many times it is not that they don’t want your product or service but just don’t have a sense of urgency right now. By not having a sense of urgency, your sales will most likely be stagnate or no sales at all. So motivate people to buy.
