Better Year! Online Course
With 1-on-1 Coaching
Get Next Year on Track Now: Create a
Targeted, Practical, Just-for-You,
One-Year Marketing Plan
Why bother with an annual marketing plan?
By the seat of your pants, you’ve reached a certain level of success,
but you work way too hard, with
scattershot effort. Now it's time for
focused, strategic action.
You've been marketing
just whenever you feel like it or can
spare the time, and your cash flow shows
it. Sometimes you're aflush with
income and too often, you hit a stretch
of famine.
|
Or you have a goal,
such as making your new product a success,
becoming the "go-to" firm in your industry,
doubling your market share or
being able to take five
vacations a year. |
|
 |
Success becomes far
easier when you know what to do and when to do it.
Gear up for success this year with help from a
marketing coach who has world-class experience in reputation building and creative outreach to current and new markets.
With the Marketing Plan Course, you
plan step by step
In the privacy of your
home or office, devote some concentrated and
directed energy to how you want the
coming year to
turn out for your business. Listen
to four online lessons (and several
bonus audios), fill out the planning
questionnaires, and emerge
with a customized, feasible
month-by-month plan of action that makes your desired future happen.

"Great
course in marketing strategy
as it lays out a complete
methodology for charting a
course for the new year.
Marcia's approach does not
overwhelm you with too much
advice, but guides you through a
retrospective of what worked and
did not work in the past year.
This leads to the development of
a sound marketing plan for the
coming year that focuses on
building upon your past year
successes, eliminating
ineffective programs and
incorporating new ones with
better promise." - Henry
Bruce, Founder, Rock Annand
Group |
With your strategic yet concrete marketing plan, you stop depending on the habits that have taken you only so far.
Throughout the coming year, you'll know
how to do the right things at the right time
so you reap your desired business and
personal rewards.
The four steps in this course
This program is
inward-looking as well as
forward-looking, which ensures that it's
not an academic exercise but instead
truly fits your yearnings, personality,
resources
and preferences. Here is the
four-step process in a nutshell:
Step 1: Take stock
of the previous year and identify
goals
You're taken through a
series of questions that help you
reflect on where you succeeded best
during the previous year, where you left money on the
table and where you'd like to take your
business in the coming year. Learn new ways
to leverage what you've already done so
you can earn more with less effort.
Step 2: Discover
which tactics help achieve which goals
With specific goals
and personal preferences in view, you
start pinpointing which marketing and publicity tactics to
include in your marketing plan.
Detailed "If you want this, then do
that" guidelines and handouts help you assemble a tentative
list of to-do's for the coming year.
Step 3: Construct
your month-by-month marketing plan
Discover how to turn
all your maybes into a simple,
easy-to-follow action plan,
incorporating recommended frequencies,
sequences and practical timing for the
various components. Listen to a
consulting session in which I put
together a workable, specific plan for a
psychologist in private practice. Hear which
categories of items do not belong
in your plan, and why.
Step 4: Make sure
the plan is manageable
Before finalizing your
plan, it's crucial to look inside again
and think about what might get in the
way of carrying it out. You get a
multitude of tips on making sure your
action plan fits your strengths and
compensates for your weak points.
Your takeaway is a manageable,
unique-to-you marketing plan.
Then, get my advice and input
You're not left adrift
to get everything right in the planning
process. The course includes a
one-hour telephone consultation in which
I answer your questions, look over your
marketing plan draft if you've gotten
that far, and provide feedback on
tactics you've overlooked or
misunderstood.
It's up to you at what
point in your planning process to
schedule the consultation. Some
people will prefer doing it while
they're pondering options in Step 2,
while others will want to talk with me
much later. We'll be in touch
about scheduling your time with me.

on Marcia's background
No MBA-speak, no number-crunching
If you search the Internet for
"annual marketing plan" or
"sample marketing plans,"
here's what you’ll find. With rare exceptions,
such sample plans, services and software are crafted by steeped-in-jargon MBAs who want
you to analyze and rehash what you already know
and wrap your mind around concepts like
"macroenvironment," your
"contribution margin" and
"strategy pyramids."
(These words come from a site selling marketing plan
software.)
The Marketing Plan
Course uses no business-school
mumbo-jumbo, no pie charts, no
spreadsheets and no calculations.
Instead, with provocative questions,
information about which tactics help you
reach which goal and an easy
step-by-step process, you create a
simple, no-nonsense set of well-chosen actions to take month by month during
the year so you reach your objectives.

"Before I
took Marcia's Marketing Plan
course, I just let things
happen naturally, without
annual goals or a marketing
plan for my business.
Guess what happened? Not
much. Since participating in
the training, I've used
Marcia's step-by-step system
every December to examine
what worked and didn't work
the previous year, establish
the new year's goals and
create my annual marketing
plan. This in-depth
training will help you take
your business from wherever
it is today to where you
want it to be one year from
now, no guessing required."
