LEARN HOW TO MARKET YOUR BUSINESS

SPEND A LITTLE TIME EACH DAY BUILDING YOUR CUSTOMER BASE!

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to growing a profitable business is marketing. At all my educational sessions I always ask what the biggest problem they have with their business and almost 90% of the time it pertains to a lack of customers. The solution to that problem is marketing.

Most small business owners know that marketing is essential to survival but almost any activity, no matter how insignificant, usually takes precedence over marketing. There is only one solution to learning how to market and that is to market.

The marketing process is best learned and refined by actually doing it. There is no magic wand and no instant gratification.

As a member of BizQuack you have available hundreds of marketing ideas in the blog archives. There are also sessions in the educational section such as:

• Get Seen and Get Heard
• Networking Methods
• Building and telling your story
• Human Touch Marketing in the Digital Age (to be posted in July)
• 20 awesome Marketing ideas (to be posted in July)

The best part, at least for the time being, you can call and set up a personal appointment with Nick and spend an hour developing a marketing plan for your business. The bonus that comes with this session is the accountability factor to which Nick will hold you.

Success is always a choice and you have the tools and the opportunity to develop and implement a customer generating system. Take advantage of it!
