Marketing Coach


I just hired a marketing coach to help get new leads and was wondering if any one else has ever tried it. I guess i should of posted this before i hired him but i forgot. So far it has been great and was just wondering if any one else thought it was worth the money they paid. And what there experience was

Re: Marketing Coach


How much is it?

Is it an individual or a Coaching franchise?

If you want, share the name of the organization and a web site link.

What results are you getting? Or is it too soon too tell?

Is there any guarantee?

Some organizations offer a Money Back guarantee if the results are not satisfactory to you.

He is an indivudal. pretty soon, but looks great so far another week or two and i can let you kow the exact results. I can see if he is taking any more people i think he said he only takes ten at at time. And with the amout of time we email each other i don't know if he has any time for the rest. So far he does things diffrent then me but i think his way will win me over. I didn't ask about a guaranty if he dosent work i can stop paying him

Re: Marketing Coach


It's nice to see someone stick there neck out there to get more sales.We spend money on so many things to get sales that a coach is a great investment.

I have many coaches I use and I spend about a grand a month on mine. I have a copy coach, a life coach, and a marketing coach and a medatation coach. People think your nuts when you tell them this but it has helped me get to where I am at now and I have a clear vision on where I am going.

There are times in this crazy business when you need to talk to someone just to clear your head and keep you focused. Most people will not talk to there wife or family about business matters because they do not get it.

When it comes to marketing your business it is good to have someone take a look at your marketing materials and understand your business and give you tips on how to grow and how to hone in on your overall goals.

A good marketing and business coach can help you excel in your business and in your life and help you stay focused and reach your goals.

He will pay for himself 10 fold plus show you how to increase your sales and keep with in a budget that most of the time is the same as you spend now.

If your goals are to grow and expand your business I believe it is a must to have a helping hand. I can reach my coaches 24/7 and I would pay 10 times for what it has done for me. Go for it.

Re: Marketing Coach


carport,
thats great and i'm sure it works for you!
but still we need to know who this guy is to check him out and make sure he's not a scammer, and maybe someone on hear has heard of him or used him and can as your meditation coach would say enlighten us! LOL!!!!
anyways it would be nice to hear the results from nutgutter ha! on how this guy guy is doing.
i believe we live in a different time and need to think outside the box just as you are doing. hey it works for tom cruise right? " i'm killing me"
i have used one we know him on hear as wpc the canvass guru. the results he has showed me out done anything i could have ever imagined and he is so useful to us that my canvassers call him for help on an individual basis now.
so back to the ?'s who is he what is he and what kind of results is he given?

Re: Marketing Coach


Everyone should have a consultant, or at least a knowledgeable friend to bounce ideas off of and brainstorm with. It's hard to run a business alone. Nlgutters, keep us posted on how it is working for you.

I am researching the possibility of staging a teleseminar on how contractors can prosper over the next year and a half while the economy and housing continue to be in turmoil. I'm looking for consultants who focus on different aspects of construction business, such as marketing, sales, business systems, financing, employee relations, etc., to participate. Any recommendations?
