Get Smart About Sales & Marketing and Start With Quick Wins
Sales and marketing aren't just academic theories to Mark — they're powerful tools he's relied on for past business success. He is deeply passionate about this field because, too often, he sees it done badly. Professional sales is a great craft. It helps people buy the right solution to solve a problem. Many business owners are already terrific at helping customers buy — they just don't know it. Mark can help you unlock that potential, build a consistent pipeline of ideal clients, and stop wasting time and money on tactics that don't work.
Why Sales & Marketing Matters to Mark
As a professional business coach since 2007, Mark is often struck by how many owners feel uncomfortable with marketing or view sales as a dirty word. It doesn't have to be that way. The truth Mark lives by is simple: "The only thing we know about marketing is that 80% doesn't work. The key is figuring out the 20% that does work — and focusing on that." Rather than chasing every new tactic, Mark helps you find and double down on the small fraction that actually moves the needle for your business.
Professional Marketing & Sales Coach Services
Working with Mark as your sales and marketing coach covers the full scope of what it takes to grow profitably: establishing measurable goals and a clear sales and marketing plan to achieve them; implementing new systems, processes and technology to improve efficiencies; exploring diversification opportunities; identifying and championing your unique selling points (USPs); understanding your customers' profile and behaviour; enhancing your brand; generating new leads; analysing the competition; having the data to make informed decisions; tracking the performance of campaigns; and enhancing communication skills.
Common Challenges
Sales & Marketing Coaching Can Overcome Your Business Challenges
Does this sound like you? Most business owners recognise at least a few of these — and that is exactly where coaching makes the biggest difference.
Confused about your best customers
You're not sure which customers are the best customers you actually want more of.
Finding it hard to sell
Selling feels uncomfortable or like a dirty word, and you avoid it rather than embrace it.
Overwhelmed by marketing
There are so many elements of marketing that you don't know where to focus, and things keep changing so it's hard to keep pace.
No clear ROI measurement
You'd like a way to measure return on investment to give you a far greater sense of insight and control.
Inconsistent lead generation
Your lead generation is inconsistent and unplanned, and you don't know your sales conversion rates.
No articulated vision or mission
You have never articulated your business vision and mission — so everything else lacks direction.
