For Serviced-based Small Business Owners
and Sales Professionals

Achieve Your Ideal Business Now!

This premium business growth program includes weekly strategy sessions that are normally 30 – 45 minutes via phone and are customized to your unique development needs. Phone and email extra-session support are free value-added services that combine with periodic workshops and teleclasses to create a program of virtually unlimited progress and results.

Distinctive Coaching clients tend to fall into one of three business development stages:

► “I fired my boss – Now what?”

Congratulations, you’re a new business owner and entrepreneur! You’ve taken the plunge to be your own boss and do whatever it is that you love doing. But now what? You’ll need to focus and define your purpose, mission, and direction in which to take your business. Let’s identify your signature services and how to reach your target market. We’ll sharpen your skills and create strategies for networking, marketing and sales from the start, and help you set the tone for success with your first clients.

► “Show me the money!”

As an established business owner, you know what you sell, and you love your business, but you really want the sales to start rolling in. Networking, marketing and sales haven’t been as easy as you thought they would, and now is the time to make a change. It’s not enough to just be in business anymore, you want to be truly successful – and see more money!

► “Give me back my life. Please.”

After working on your business for years, revenue is not a problem. But your now-extinct personal or family life is. Instead of you running your business, your business is running you. And you might not even remember what your children or friends look like. Not to mention your health is probably going down the drain. Working on effective time management, improved leadership, accelerated employee hiring or development, and better delegation is just the start you need to take your life back and enjoy your work once again.

In certain stages of business growth, some areas are more important to focus on than others. But we don’t want to overlook any area that is going to help you to be very successful in the long-term.

Recognize yourself above? 

If you want to feel the satisfaction, pride and accomplishment that comes from running a successful business, then now is the time to contact me to help start you down the path to loving (or loving again) what you do and making a great living from it!

This program helps you to move forward, make clear progress and achieve your ideal business by building growth strategies, skills and systems in areas of vital interest to your specific business and talents. Those might including:

  • Sales and marketing
  • Online and offline networking and alliance building
  • Presentation and public speaking
  • Leadership and management
  • Using social media – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Meetup - to supercharge your networking, marketing and sales
  • Identify and set key objectives,  solidify desired outcomes and implement systems to leverage your time and energy
  • Enhance your strategy, skills, motivation, confidence and accountability

The result? You get measurable, sustained and dynamic business growth, and you enjoy doing it.

Give it to me straight. Does business coaching work?

The Manchester Review cited in a recent study that executive coaching in 43 different companies reported an average ROI of 5.7 times the initial investment. My own clients have reported up to and more than 16 times their investment – that’s a 1600% return, and some of those in as little as six months.

Listen to these past clients share their experiences.

For Teams & Organizations

Group Coaching

 Coaching sessions that focus on a variety of business topics that are common to a team or work-group — starting or growing a business or organization, team building, work-related goals, improving work environment and culture, organizational initiatives for non-profits, achieving better work/life balance, sales coaching, and others. These can be done in person or via audio or web conference.

Public Speaking, Seminars and Workshops

I am available for speaking at networking events, meetings, workshops and seminars on business growth topics.  My energetic, engaging style invites interest and immediate application of principles to current business opportunities.

“I used several ideas and tips that I learned in your ’Create Your Ideal Prospect’ workshop and presented a marketing plan to my boss this week. I’m happy to say that it received approval!”
