Podcasts about business development plan

Marketing Plans are a great place where marketers set direction and prove their value. This podcast is a case study of a marketer writing their first marketing plan. We'll talk about the real-life process, the highs and lows, and the outcomes personally and professionally.   Katerina (Kat) Marovich joined Summit Engineering as an administrator and quickly became the firm's sole marketer.

Hello and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. For the last three weeks, we've been talking about how to have a rockstar start this new year. We've discussed why we need a written game plan as a roadmap to our success, why having a morning success ritual is crucial, and how to execute a top-level daily game plan. We're now down to the fourth and last part of this series, where I'm going to talk about business development and how to grow revenue in this game. In this episode, I also discussed the following: (05:48) Why advisors must have a balance sheet on all of their clients (11:13) The number one reason advisors struggle with the introductions game (12:51) What is COI, and how can you optimize it? (16:08) Why you should have no more than four channels for new business (18:12) Why advisors must ignore FOMO Previous episodes on the various aspects of an optimization strategy (Riskalyze Conference) https://www.coachjoe.guru/blog/how-to-optimize-your-business-part-1 https://www.coachjoe.guru/blog/how-to-optimize-your-business-part-2 The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically. I have spent over 25 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed thousands of advisors (below are videos and written testimonials by many of them). Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it's about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision. I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision. Here is what you are going to get from me each month: - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day. - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into the 4 areas I mentioned above. - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together. Here is what you can do each month: - Post a question to me and I will answer it. - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors. - Invite other great advisors into the network. Your Bottom Line: Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. Like I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14-days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14-days. If after experiencing my work for 30-days and if you believe that I can help you, here is the deal. To remain in Magellan Network and have access to Magellan Academy, your daily investment in yourself will only be about the price of a Latte these days. One more thing, it's a month-to-month deal. I'm not going to lock you into anything. Take action now and complete the short form below and I look forward to welcoming you personally inside the Magellan Network.

What's your business development plan? Do you even have one? In my experience, most attorneys don't (even those who think they do often don't really have one). Here's the deal: you need a good plan if you want to develop your own book of business. A plan that's simple, easy to implement and keeps you motivated so that you'll take consistent action to achieve your business development goals. This topic is important for ALL private practice attorneys. Because the truth is that having your own book of business is the BEST way to being in control of your practice and your life. So. . . If you sometimes struggle to fit business development into your busy schedule, aren't sure what strategies to utilize and/or dread asking for the sale, listen up. We're getting into all of that today (and much more). *** Download the Client Development Blueprint here: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/client-development-blueprint/

You have been asked to develop a business development or marketing plan. The first place you go is to Google. You download several templates, but when you start reading them you realize that they are for B2C or product-based businesses.I struggled with the same thing a few years back when trying to create one for my firm. The architecture/engineering/construction industry is different. We market our firms differently and we do business development slightly differently than most B2B companies. For that reason, I decided to put together a few resources for you to get started with your BD planning. First is a series of podcast episodes, beginning with today. These episodes are going to be a mix of solo shows where I introduce both BD and Marketing Planning concepts and elements as well as bring on guests to share best practices and share ideas for your plans.

The third part has two sections: a) 321 provides a solution where the attorney has complete control in finding new client cases, and b) 321 outlines other methods for attorneys to find more clients cases with 321 helps. 4. The fourth part identifies why some attorneys experience droughts in providing legal services and find it difficult to find new clients without paying high marketing fees. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/321bizdevelopment/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/321bizdevelopment/support
