Marketing Coaching with Frank Marafiote

In Dreams Begin Responsibilities." 
-- W.B. Yeats

Is Your Business Achieving the Results You Want?

Hi, this is Frank Marafiote, president of Emerge Communications, a marketing and public relations firm that I started more than 17 years ago.

More and more business owners and managers are turning to marketing coaching as a smart way to increase their company's marketing effectiveness. It's a very personal, focused, and affordable way to access the expertise and experience they need to succeed. 

How do you know if you might benefit from partnering with a marketing coach? Start by answering these basic questions -- 

• Do you need more sales? More customers? More leads?
• Do you sometimes feel uncertain about the marketing decision you have to make?
• Are you confident that your marketing approach is the right one?
• Do you find that you are not getting the sales that you had hoped for?
• Do you sometimes put off doing those marketing tasks that you must do to make your business successful?
• Do you ever wish there was a marketing expert that you could just pick up the phone and call for advice -- someone you could share your ideas with and get honest, helpful feedback?
  

Most small business owners and managers, if they are honest with themselves, answer "yes" to those questions. Let me be clear. When it comes to your specific business, I know that you're the expert! But few business owners have the training and experience in marketing they need to plan and implement marketing programs that get results. They might try different marketing approaches -- hit or miss -- and usually the result is a disappointing miss.

That's why marketing coaching the perfect solution for many business owners.

Marketing coaching is a new way to get the advice and feedback you need without spending a fortune, and without giving up the feeling of empowerment and control of your business. As a marketing coach, I work together with my clients to help make them and their businesses successful -- marketing coaching is a collaborative process. Getting an outside perspective from a marketing professional who "knows the ropes" is both productive and reassuring.

I also know that for some people it can be difficult to move outside their comfort zone and do something they haven't done before -- like working with a marketing coach. Perhaps you feel there a lot of risk involved. You might be thinking --

• What if I sound like I don't know what I'm doing?
• What if it takes too long to see results?
• What if he doesn't really understand my business?
• What if I'm not "coachable"?
• What if I can't afford it?
• What if I just don't get along with this guy?
• What if I invest my time, money, and energy working with a marketing coach and it doesn't work?

All of these are legitimate concerns. That's why I am going to put all the risk on my shoulders -- you shouldn't have to gamble with your business or your money.

Tails You Win! Heads You Win!

I'm not a gambling man but if I were, I would like the kind of odd where I couldn't lose. You probably would, too. So here's my Can't Lose, Risk Free proposition:

Give me 30 minutes of your time. Let's have a conversation -- there's no charge and no risk to you. Ask me whatever marketing questions you have. Tell me about your goals. Tell me what you want your business to look like next month, next year, in five years. Need help defining those goals? We can discuss that, too. Let's see for real what the comfort level is between us. Then, listen for two minutes while I explain how affordable it is to have me working on your team, as your marketing coach. You'll be surprised at how inexpensive it is.

All it takes to turn the future of your business from "maybe a success" to a "sure thing" is a 30 minute phone conversation with me.

Why am I confident that I can help you?

One, I'm easy to talk to, friendly, empathetic, concerned about my clients -- and people like you who are working hard to succeed. Second, I really know my stuff. Please read my bio here. The short version is this: 25 years experience in marketing, advertising, and public relations. An MBA in business management. A lifetime helping companies in all kinds of industries, entrepreneurs, professionals like you -- make their business a success. I'm also a writer, a teacher, a mediator, an advisor, and a coach.

As your personal marketing coach, I can help you --

• Increase sales, get more customers, develop more leads.
• Develop marketing strategies that will make your business a success.
• Put together a viable "action plan" that will give you the results you want.
• Give you the management and marketing tools you need to feel comfortable in your role as a business owner.
