Do You Have a Marketing Plan?

It’s one of the most important business documents for EVERY business owner, and yet, most people never put one together.  Really, I’ve heard and spoken just about all the excuses you can think of…

• · I don’t have the time
• · I’m trying a few things to see how they work and then I’ll create a plan
• · I’m not sure where to start
• · I don’t know what I need to include
• · I really just want to do the projects

So what is your excuse?  I’ve taken this opportunity to put together a marketing plan system that I’ve been successfully using for the past three years—and let me tell you, my business has exploded over the past three years—in no small part, because of my marketing plan, and the fact that it’s a living, breathing plan that I update at least once a year.

NOW you can benefit from my research and testing with a fabulous new Marketing plan system designed to help you build a program you can manage and budget for….

INTRODUCING…The Grow Your Virtual Assistance Practice Marketing Plan System

This step-by-step system is like nothing else on the market today.  It gives you everything you need to create and implement a marketing plan system, including an in-depth marketing budget to stay on track and set goals to take your business where you never dreamed possible.

This system includes several CDs, the easy to follow step-by-step book, a print workbook to memorialize and develop your plan, or capture the details with the electronic file so you can continue to grow and evolve as your business becomes more successful.

And Two Bonus sections – Creating your Tagline and Infomercial – two important elements for marketing your business

I tried and failed with so many of my marketing plans over the years, until I got serious with myself about what it was going to take to create a workable and implementable plan that I could afford.  Let me save you that time and frustration and share my more than twelve years of experience in running a profitable virtual assistance practice.

We all know that how, when, and where we market our business is THE most important factor in creating a solid and profitable practice.  Don’t wait any longer; don’t struggle trying to market yourself inconsistently or using ineffective, piecemeal programs or ideas that won’t keep you on track or allow you to create a plan that fits your specific needs.  Get your business growing again by creating the Marketing Plan System that keeps you accountable to your own success.

Have you considered…GOING GLOBAL?

I’ve always wondered if I could obtain international business, how would that look, what would I need to know, and would it be right for my particular business?

That’s what made me curious when I happened to connect with savvy VA, Carolyn Moncel who took her home-based Virtual Assistance practice from the comfort of her Chicago home to Paris, France, and beyond.

What I learned from having interviewed Carolyn made me realize that the timing was right to consider taking a closer look at what a global marketing initiative would or could do to increase my success.

NOW YOU CAN, TOO!  If you’ve ever wondered if taking your business global was right for your practice, you will be interested in my newest product, Going Global! Finding and Working With International Clients In Your Virtual Assistance Practice.

 This system includes my interview with Carolyn, and a 35 page booklet pulling all the information together about why this might be the BEST time for you to consider this new market share for your business.

This product provides in-depth information, resources and initiatives to help you decide if this potential business is the right fit for your Virtual Assistance practice.  We’ll help you learn:
