There are rarely roads carved out before us so we create the paths with you. It’s not an easy way to go, but we find better results for our client-partners that way.
As a business owner or professional, you’re concerned about growing and getting to the next level. You’re probably thinking, “If I can only get funding or market myself better, I’d be further along.”
While this may be true, our experience has proven that growth needs more than money and marketing. It relies on several variables including your personal goals, your team (or network), your skills and your capital (money, resources and time). All of these variables are wrapped into our 9M Process, the steps we use to help businesses and the people that lead them advance, grow and excel.
1. Your mission is at the intersection of your expectations, your hidden fears, your dreams and your goals. Part of what makes us tick is really getting to know you AND the business you’re in (and we’re not simply talking a quick Google search) to use this as the anchor for your plans.
2. Your model tells you how your business will operate and make money. We focus on how the model should be setup so that you capture, convert, serve and keep clients or advocates to create the same great results over and over again (without always having to be at the center of it all).
3. Understanding your market is more than just identifying income, industry, age, gender or location. We dig deep until you have a face, a name and even a daily schedule for the person that matters most to you and your business – your customer.
4. Your message should be the common thread that weaves through every piece of communication. We work to tell your story in a way that’s clear, compelling and communicates why it matters. Your message is what people and companies use to choose you (or someone else).
5. Methods are the vehicles (channels or media) that carry your message. You’re flooded with marketing options and it’s easy to get caught in the “you need this one, too” camp. We don’t subscribe to that. You will identify what works and aligns with your business, your audience and truth be told, you.
6. Sell more stuff and save more money (Isn’t that the goal?). Yes, but the way it happens is key. We create plans to help you identify realistic sales goals and blueprints that work on autopilot for things like follow-up, relationship building and selling. These are your income engines and our approach ensures you keep these engines moving and the cash flowing.
7. Management is at the core of helping you develop as the leader you were meant to be and surrounding yourself with the right support team. Your confidence, competence and belief in yourself and your team, advisory board or network is just as important as the business itself.
8. Metrics create a healthy balance of action and measurement. Unless you measure your success, you won’t know what to start, stop or continue until it’s too late.
9. Mindset is the overarching influencer of all M’s of acceleration and growth. It’s the thoughts, hopes, affirming and limiting beliefs as well as values that guide your actions.
