Marketing programs and products for professionals committed to making a difference.
San Francisco Bay Area
I've been a marketing coach, consultant, speaker, and trainer since 1984. I specialize in working with Independent Professionals such as consultants, coaches, trainers, speakers, and marketing, design and financial professionals.
The clients I work with are great at what they do professionally but struggle with the marketing part of their business. They want to know how to attract more clients with ease and without compromising their integrity. My ideal clients are also those who are committed to making a difference.
My marketing approach is based on "The Contribution Factor" which is about marketing your services by making a difference. This differs from most marketing which is more about taking than giving. Those who use the Contribution Factor include thought leaders and others who have a unique contribution to make through their business services.
My current advanced marketing program, The Marketing Mastery Program, is for professionals making $100K or more who have hit a plateau in their businesses and want to take it to a higher level.
I'm author of the online bestseller, the "InfoGuru Marketing Manual" and the "Web Site ToolKit," and publish the weekly More Clients eZine to about 50,000 business owners. the eZine covers every imaginable topic on how to be more successful in attracting more clients.
I also offer the Action Plan Marketing Club, a one-stop resource for independent professionals who want to market their service more effectively.
