1 Recommendations

This is part 1 of a 2 parter. I’m sharing the strategy work I’m doing with my clients right now. It’s as though I’m coaching you personally. Cool, eh?

The problem many businesses have is that they’re not clear enough on what they do + how they help their clients. Let’s fix that by thinking about building a learning path from their first encounter with you to making a purchase. You’ve made lots of content over the years – but there’s holes in it – that needs filling.

Today I give examples from Biz Book regulars like Candice L. Davis + Miriam Shulman, who have successfully built their own pathways for client education and engagement. We’ll discuss how they can make them even stronger. You’ll want to do this for your own business too.

This is my newest thinking + the work I’m doing right now. Today is Part 1 - the overview. Look for Part 2 – The How-to in a few days.
