I just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful time spent together during the marketing mentor course. It was a godsend for me, and really motivated me to new levels of marketing. Everyone flies off in new directions after something like this, hopefully encouraged and enthusiastic, but I hope we're able to stay in touch!

Susan and Veronica, you both did a great job! It was worth the money and more. Susan, you always have something to say and I will be hearing your advice in my head whenever I come up with new ideas! Veronica, you are fabulous at encouraging and coaching people in the right direction. I think you both are providing a service that is very needed.

Thanks again for the great advice,

MARKETING MENTOR TELECOURSE

Price: $295.00
Date: Wednesdays

May 4, 2011 through June 29, 2011

Time: 12:00pm-1:30pm Central

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and start a serious marketing program to grow your business now? If so, Raising Canine brings you a very special Marketing Mentor Group. This remote course starts May 4, 2011 and runs for 8 weeks (with a week off in the middle to catch up!); if you jump right in you will have an effective marketing project to grow your business completed before 2011 is over!!

Do any of the following describe why you haven't started, finished, or followed through with the marketing you know you should be doing?

Active – Are you too busy to find the time to market?

Finances – Are you worried that the cost of marketing will be more than you can afford?

Regularly unprepared – Do you find yourself driving by a vets office, but don’t have any marketing materials with you?

Avoidance – Do you find yourself deliberately unprepared, finding something else to do, or taking an alternate route so you won’t have to stop at the grooming salon?

Inconsistent – Do you drop materials off at a vet’s office, then not go back for 6-8 months?

Distressed – Does your stomach start churning when you think about talking in front of an audience?

If you’ll notice, the acronym for all the above is “AFRAID!” Don’t worry – it’s perfectly normal, and most people do the same things. However, the difference between a successful business and one that fails to meet its owner’s goals is the person who actually does the marketing, despite being afraid.

Enrollment is limited to eight people, so don't hesitate -- this is a wonderful opportunity to materially increase your business.

We must have 3 people enrolled before we will run this class. If, for any reason, the class is cancelled,

you will have the option of waiting for the next class or having your money refunded.
