Let me break it down for you, part by part:
PART 1: Clarify Your Niche and Target Market
Create your tribe. Your ideal client profile (ICP) and niche determine how you'll be marketing. You've heard of the process, now you'll create yours the best way possible. Creating these tools provides the fuel that drives your daily activities. You'll have everything you need -- video, audios, workbook and spreadsheets (in a CD) to create your ICP using our unique marketing process. NOTE: This process will also teach you how to create an ideal strategic partner profile, ideal employee process, ideal vendor process, etc.
PART 2: Solidify Your Vision
Your vision helps you make better decisions. It's short, sweet, and easy to remember. You'll create yours with all the right pieces. In fact, you'll create three visions: one based not only on "the now" (important, but not enough) and two long-term visions, too. Together these visions provide a rock-solid foundation for business growth.
PART 3: Articulate Your Company's Mission
Turn your services and benefits into a results statement and value proposition. Often, these statements become your tag line. They are also used to differentiate your business, create your social networking profiles, write your website copy, and invent elevator speech (for when you network).
PART 4: Define Your Objectives or Goals
In Part 4, you'll learn the 3 most important concepts to remember as you create clear goals and quantitative benchmarks that will be easy to monitor and reach. Your objectives and goals will be understood by members of your entire team and the online system allows you to track their progress.
PART 5: Create Concrete Strategies
In this session, you create your foundation: the values and guidelines that make decision-making easy! Remember, deciding what your company WON'T do is just as important as what you WILL do. Eliminate overwhelm by discovering 9 key initiatives worth your time and effort.
PART 6: Build Your Action Plan
Your action plan is really a three-part process. This session will teach you how create a motivating action plan PLUS provide you with a template to keep track of your actions, too. Then execute tasks on a day-by-day basis.
