If You Want Marketing Success, 
You Need a Successful
Marketing Mentor

(So you can go beyond the basics and
unlock your profit potential)

By Lois Carter Fay

Have you ever wished you could have someone hold your hand as you made your way through the marketing maze to take your business to the next level? Ever need someone to keep you accountable? It's harder at the top, isn't it?

Are you like most small business owners? Do you:

  • Spin your wheels when what you really
    need is "action traction"?
  • Delegate tasks, and then take them back?
  • Staff up only to decide nothing's working and it's time to
    lay off a few people?
  • Feel like you are conducting "ping-pong" marketing instead of focused efforts?
  • Try one thing and then another to improve sales, and find
    that nothing works?
  • Create a business plan or a marketing plan and then let it gather dust, wondering why you put in all that effort?
  • Need someone on your level to talk to?
  • Think it might just be easier to "get a real job"?

Ever wonder whether you
made the right decision?

If so, you need the Success Secrets Marketing Mentor Program to help you get the rest you deserve ... and to show you how to be the business success you dream about.

Everywhere I go small business owners and women business owners ask me how to use their marketing dollars more effectively to create success for their businesses. They need help, and they ask me for it. And I'm usually willing to answer a question or two to point them in the right direction.

But that's simply not enough for most people.

I'm growing my business, too. And the money-making parts of it—consulting, writing, speaking and product developmenttake more of my time these days. So, I have less time to spend on pro bono projects. Yet, people continue to ask for my help. Happily, I do have a growing following of women business owners who want to tap into my expertise (and are willing to pay for that knowledge and experience). Increasingly, I only want to spend time working with business owners like you ... business owners who not only understand the value of great ideas, but are willing to pay for marketing help and will also do the hard work necessary to follow through.

If you're like most people, you need one-on-one help, an ability to interact with your fellow small business owners, creative solutions and techniques to help you organize and monitor your marketing efforts, and proven marketing ideas to put your business ahead of the competition. And I want to help you.

So I decided to start a Success Secrets Marketing Mentor Program for Small Business Owners and Women Business Owners.

Here are the kinds
of people I mentor:

  • Sole proprietors, partners or majority owners of a corporation.

  • Anyone who is a top-level executive at a for-profit or nonprofit company.

  • Anyone who needs, but either can't afford or doesn't want, to hire a full-time marketing director for their company.

  • People who must wear multiple hats and take responsibility for the marketing function.

  • Professional speakers, consultants and solopreneurs who need help growing their business.

  • Anyone who is passionate about taking their business to the next level.


    Here’s what you’ll get
    with my
    Success Secrets Marketing
    Mentor Program for
    Small
    Business Owners …
.
  • An initial 2-hour phone consultation (or four 30-minute sessions) to evaluate where you are and lay out a plan to get you where you need to go.
  • One half-hour one-on-one phone consultation with me each month.
  • Unlimited access to me via email. You send me your questions and I send you the answers, usually within 12 hours, and many times within an hour or two.  If you need help IMMEDIATELY, you can call me.
  • Free membership in my Success Secrets Forum.
  • Membership in a special CEO Mastermind Mentee Group on the Success Secrets Forum, with unlimited interaction between mentee members, and moderated by me.
  • Attendance at all of my regular teleseminars (open to the public) for free.
  • A 40 percent discount on all my products, seminars and services. 
  • Your own personal writing coach, with all coaching done by email. What a great benefit. This can save you hundredsmaybe thousandsof dollars.

What makes me worth hiring?

  • I have been a successful woman business owner since 1990.
  • I have 30 years of marketing and writing experience.
  • I've worked with large and small firms, both domestically and internationally.
  • I have helped a variety of clients grow their businesseseverything from technology companies to foods products, and from widgets and crushed stone to software.
  • I have studied marketing subjects so much that I have an "experiential Ph.D." in marketing, P.R. and Internet marketing, and I'm continuously learning new techniques to share with you.  
  • I have written several ebooks and special reports on marketing-related topics, including Marketing Plan Essentials: Online & Off, Sales Success! Strategies for Women and PR 101 for Service Professionals, Solopreneurs, Coaches & Speakers.
  • My ezines are read by an ever-growing number of business owners, publicity experts and marketing folks.
  • I am a past president of NAWBO Wisconsin and NAWBO Southeastern Virginia, and I have studied the needs of women business owners and small business owners for over 15 years.
  • My articles about marketing and public relations appear regularly in online and offline publications, such as Bacon's Expert PR ezine and website, in the Shenandoah Valley Business Journal, Inside Business, and on various article and marketing websites.


Should you join this
mentoring program?

Marketing is not a get-rich-quick or a beat-the-competition-quick program. Marketing takes time.

So if you are looking for a magic bullet, you're looking in the wrong place with this program. Instead, you’ll learn tons of marketing methods and tips to improve your business that you can start using immediately. 

But if you're willing to put in the time and really want your business to grow, this just might be the program for you. Make 2006 your best year ever!


You're a good candidate for for this
Success Secrets Marketing
Mentoring Program if you...
.
  • Need an abundance of creative ideas to improve your business. You'll find them here. Between you, the other mentees and me, you will have more ideas than you can use. And you'll learn how to come up with great ideas on your own, too!
  • Need access on a regular basis to someone who can help you improve your marketing, and who really cares about your success.
  • Aren't afraid of hard work and love to learn.
  • Need a system that makes you accountable.
  • Enjoy being challenged and pushed beyond what you thought you were capable of doing.
  • Are willing to do what it takes to become successful.
  • Want someone on your team who can help you when need to make those tough decisions.
  • Understand the value of networking among your peers.
  • Love my FREE products, but you hold off buying my other products until I make a bottom-dollar offer.



    How many mentees can enroll in the program?

I want to take on only as many as I can handle, so that I have enough time reserved for everyone. That's why I'm committing only to a maximum of 20 peopleand only those who I am convinced will do the hard work necessary to achieve success.

During the initial phone consultation, if  I don't think you're a good match with the program, I will refund the entire amount of your tuition.

 
What will this cost?

Tuition is $99 per month, with a minimum enrollment of 6 months. I require six-month commitment simply because you need time to put your plan in place and see some results.

After the first 6 months, you can continue on a monthly basis for as long as you want. If you hired me as a consultant, you'd eat up much more cash buying less than 6 hours of my consulting time. Or you could easily spend much more than this paying a good marketing employee for less than a day's work.

Think of how much time you can spend with me in six months and what you can accomplish with unlimited email support and all those phone consultations.

Or sign up for one year at $990 and get two free months. This is a very small sum compared to the thousands of dollars in free publicity and marketing ideas you'll learn. And less than one month's retainer if you were hiring a marketing firm.

This may not be for you.

Or the timing might not be right. If you can’t afford the 6-month mentorship fee, you’re probably not ready for the Success Secrets Marketing Mentor Program at the moment.  

If the timing isn't right or you don't think you'll have the energy necessary for this intensive program, please don't sign up because the membership fee is non-refundable. 

If the price or timing
worry you right now, perhaps we need to discuss whether you are
truly ready to reach higher levels of success. Give me a call at 540.289.3840 or 800.203.8660 and we can evaluate the program together.

If, however, you're ready to commit, I say, "Terrific!". Let's get started right now creating the type of marketing programs you deserve.
