Escalator Profits Path to Freedom

It, and more, is possible with the

Dear Friend and Small Business Owner,

Before you get into the WHAT of all this, let me say that I intentionally didn’t write a long, standard information (sales) letter/page.

The reason is simple – after reading this through, you’ll know if it’s right for you or not.

As you know, the economy has shifted.

About 3 years ago I started calling it the “New Economy”, knowing that we weren’t going back. Since the New Economy arrived, several things have happened:

  • more small businesses are failing than ever before
  • several in the “guru market” have filed bankruptcy
  • my husband was downsized and my business became the sole source of revenue, and health insurance, for our family — it’s all well and good to talk about not having a “hobby” business, but until your business is the only income source, you don’t truly appreciate what has to consistently happen to sustainably grow and maintain a business

Happy news? No, of course not, but it is reality. And reality is that I know how to build and market small businesses and to do it from a place of being myself. Introvert, recovering (and periodically relapsing) perfectionist and all.

My name is Sandy Martini and here’s a little of my background:

  • My first *real* job was as a nurse’s aide in a Nursing Home — it was here that I learned so much, including how precious life is and the importance of doing those things which fulfill us
  • After earning a dual degree at The American University in Washington, DC, I went to work for the Feds.  First, Peace Corps in their Marketing Department and later the ACTION Agency which was quickly merged into The Corporation for National & Community Service and AmeriCorps.  While at AmeriCorps, I served on a 5-woman team to launch the program nationwide — coordinating everything from White House Presidential Events to simultaneous events in almost every state.
  • 3 years into my career at AmeriCorps, I became part of a two-person team handling the Agency’s budget and became the coordinator for all internal audits required by Congress
  • Leaving the “big city” to return to rural Massachusetts when my Dad got cancer, I was a director of operations for a national satellite television company for 7 years before they were bought out by DirecTV.
  • Turning down a job offer with DirecTV, I chose to go out on my own and set up an office in my spare bedroom.
  • Being single with a house and a mortgage, I had to know if the business could succeed.  Within 6 months, with a list of 82 members (including my mom), only me on “the team”, the business broke $100,000.  There were lots of sleepless nights, but I’d proven I could manage on my own — then it was time to go back and “do things better”.

Flashforward to today. . .my approach:

  • Start with a client focus and never lose it
  • Hold clients accountable to their goals — be the voice of your business, even when it means nudging you out of your comfort zone
  • Treat every prospect/website visitor as if they’re our best client
  • Incorporate the tenets of Extreme Client Care™ such that every client considers my business part of their business and becomes a raving fan
  • Give you the tools and means to succeed when you take consistent action: the future of my business depends on the future of your business
  • And, in those rare instances where I care more about your business than you do, keep you as a friend and let you go as a client as neither one of our businesses is being served.

People don’t want to be sold to. They want to be consulted with, educated and believe that, of all the things they’re spending their resources (time, energy, money) on, you’re offering the best investment for a particular need.

My question to you. . .are you?

Or are you so overwhelmed just trying to keep up that it’s “hit and miss”?

You see, prospective clients are super busy — always “plugged in”, multitasking, overwhelmed and looking for things which are easy. Remember the Staples Office Supply Store commercial with that red “easy” button?

Your goal, as a business owner during times in which your customers and clients are:

  • more concerned about finances than ever and
  • looking for easy, easy-to-understand, time-and-energy-saving solutions to their problems

is to simplify their decision to invest with you and then deliver on the promise of your business. It really is that simple.

From the standpoint of your business, it’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle:

  • start with the end pieces and build the frameworkSuccess word on puzzle piece
  • identify the key pieces and put them where they belong
  • fill in the rest

The challenge of course is that with typical jigsaw puzzles, there’s a picture, something to use as a reference. With your business, things are a little different.

The picture is whatever you’d like it to be. That’s both wonderful and not:

  • Wonderful as you can literally create whatever you can dream of
  • “Not” as you’re likely tweaking and adapting that picture and your business can’t keep up with the changes. You’ve got a bunch of mismatched pieces trying unsuccessfully to squeeze into some semblance of a complete picture.
content mess

When thinking of your marketing efforts, do they look a bit like this:or are you consistently educating and nurturing your clients and prospective clients such that, when they’re ready to invest you’re the only person they think of?

You see, there’s a new results-based formula in town: E=mc2

You may know it as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. In the world of marketing, it’s known as:

Engagement = Metrics x Connection squared

Is your business converting like it could (or should)? If not, it’s likely because you don’t have right pieces of the equation. This is exactly what we’ll be focused on next month. More than just “focused”, it’s what you’ll be creating for your business. More like this, including content ideas and more:

contentpath

The names and activities will change depending on your industry and personal strengths, but the concept is the same:

  • a planned path, some would call it a funnel, for your prospective clients to follow
  • different doors, different entry ways into your business, all leading towards investment in your programs, products and services
  • content which naturally flows — not the result of “what can I talk about today” and lends itself to repurposing in multiple media throughout the internet

If your marketing and sales processes are more a tangled mess than a coordinated effort with efficiencies realized throughout, it’s time to stop reacting, take control and create a Strategic Business & Marketing Plan.

Imagine a business where:

  • all your effort does double or triple the work it does today
  • you know what you’re doing today, tomorrow, next month and next quarter
  • you make an offer — not only do people sign up for it, they refer others
  • when an opportunity arises, you can jump on it knowing you have the material without having to drop everything and scramble

It could be yours.

Let’s see what that’ll look like. . .

First, we start with identifying your baseline. This happens with our proprietary Business Baseline Assessment and you’ll receive it via email.

Then, we identify the 5 Keys to YOUR Successful Business during our Escalate! Virtual Day using the following as a framework:

Step 1: Determine Your Lifestyle and Know Where You Are (your baseline)

Step 2: Create Your Community

Step 3: Help People (hint: your clients)

Step 4: Create Continuity

Step 5: Maximize Profits

This happens before and during our Virtual Day on Wednesday, October 16th from 11am – 4pm Eastern.  If your business hasn’t been performing the way you’ve hoped, this is at least 1/2 the reason (you’re missing some component of the above 5 steps, or one just needs tweaking).

You’ll walk away with a one-page biz plan which will drive everything you do going forward.  No more wondering.

Let me explain how our Escalate! Virtual Day will work:

You’ll have some homework to complete before our day together. Then, at 11:00 am Eastern on October 16th, you’ll either dial in via phone or join a webcast from your computer.

I’ll present some content and ask you to do some work (yep, sorry…no magic pills here). Then you’ll hang up and dial back in/unmute the webcast at the designated time. I’ll present some more content and then more work.

I’ll be available for questions in between sessions (all content sessions will start at their designated times so if you don’t have questions, you’re not waiting) and we’ll wrap up the day around 4pm or 5pm Eastern (depending on questions at the end).

And if you choose to join us in Los Angeles, you’ll have a little “homework” to do to prepare for our live workshop in Los Angeles, California on Friday, October 25, 2013 (hotel information to be shared upon registration).

By the end of our Workshop (or when you go through the exercises at home), you’ll have a detailed Strategic Business & Marketing Plan for the remainder of 2013 and, at a minimum, the first quarter of 2014 (or further into 2014 if you wish — you set this timeframe).

In Los Angeles, on October 25th (or via home study if you prefer), we’ll be focused on the Key Components of your Strategic Plan:

  1. Focus AreaBusiness Communication Duplicate model
  2. AAA (Authority, Audience & Authenticity) Communication Plan
  3. PPS Campaigns
  4. Blog/Social Media
  5. Booster

and building each of them out for your business for the remainder of 2013 and as far into 2014 as you’re comfortable (with a little nudge — can’t have you *too* comfortable). 🙂

  • What programs, products and services are you offering and WHEN?
  • HOW will you fill/sell them?  From the emails you’ll be sending to the social media, we’ll have it all listed.
  • Your upsells, downsells and cross-sells, insuring that your business is set up as leveraged as possible.  Yep — we’re doing that.

No PowerPoints, No slide projectors, just us, sleeves rolled up working on your business. This isn’t “an event”. It’s “a workshop”.  There are no other speakers. It’s a working day.

It doesn’t end there. . .

  •  After our Los Angeles event, we’ll have a Group “Answers When You Want Them” 90-minute session on December 3rd and
  • You can schedule a private 15-minute call with me anytime before December 31, 2013.

I’ve created the Escalator Profits Path to Freedom Program to be:

  • affordable
  • hands-on
  • practical and NO fluff
  • and full of **me** and all of the nurturing and sassiness I’m known for

“Sandy’s programs are always just the ticket to get ‘out of the fog’ and back on track when dealing with the ever-changing world of marketing…It’s like having a life-saver snugly wrapped around you when you dive (or in my case fall) in, and someone to wipe your hair out of your face and pull you back in the boat if you get dunked. ”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Can I join the whole program, get all the materials and not go to Los Angeles?

A:  Absolutely! If traveling to Los Angeles on/for October 25th isn’t in your plans, no worries.  We’ll ship you everything you need to do all the exercises and planning sessions we’ll be doing in Los Angeles.  My recommendation is that you clear your schedule for a day so you can have the same experience and focus that we’ll have in Los Angeles.

 Q:  How many people do you expect at the live workshop in Los Angeles?

A:  No more than 19 (plus me for 20).  This is intended to be a small workshop with lots of “get it done in the room” work and with total access to me for questions.  There are currently 8 seats left.
