Testimonials

The Marketing Marathon has completely changed my life — I mean that.  I now naturally seek out marketing opportunities, and have the term “strategic alliance” permanently etched into my brain.  The exercises from the Marketing Marathon have generated so much interest and buzz around my business and services that clients are coming out of the woodwork.  It has been unbelievable and thrilling to see what I am capable of with the direction and guidance of this program.  I have learned more about marketing in the last 37 days than I have in my entire life!  I recommend the Marketing Marathon whole-heartedly to anyone wanting to see his or her business grow, expand and explode, and have fun doing it!

I attended a Marketing teleclass Alicia offered 6 months ago.  At the end of the teleclass, she softly offered the 90 Day Marketing Marathon™ with so many benefits, resources, materials and ideas at a bargain price, I had to sign up.  I am forever grateful.

This program was exactly what I needed to take my practice of small business coaching from informal dabbling to a professional practice gaining respect and recognition in many directions.  The consistency and momentum of the 90 Day Marketing Marathon™ kept me focused on what I needed to do to get over the hump and make my dream a reality.

I was given a blueprint and a sequence to get things done and try new ideas.  Now I know clearly what I need to do and I’m on a roll that won’t stop.  I love being a coach and now I love marketing my coaching practice too.

I started the 90 Day Marketing Marathon program with nothing more than an idea and the desire to push past my fear and get into action. Ninety days later, I am President of my own business, have a website, have gotten 7 articles published, have a letter marketing campaign going, have developed an elevator speech, have become a certified tele-class leader, have joined toastmasters to network and develop my speaking capabilities, have attended a couple of networking events, have conducted   electronic surveys and have responded to dozens of inquiries. Not bad for a cold start.

How did I do it?  Instead of buying a Starbucks Grande coffee a day for 90 days, I signed up for 90 Days of the  Marketing Marathon. The daily pace was invigorating (didn’t need the java) and  the free-days were delightfully guilt-free gifts.  There is still much more I haven’t tapped into so I’m coming back for more.

“You have heard the expression “Be all that you can be” – Alicia makes that statement sing and dance with the 90 Day Marketing Marathon™ Course.  This statement comes form a person who knew nothing about marketing.

This course showed me how to get everything organized and keep it flowing.  I am not an expert after 90 days, but rather a ‘work in progress’ and I am informed to the hilt.  I have a marketing plan and I know how to use it.  I have listings and sights of where and how to get assistance about anything and everything.  It has been the best investment I have made.  In doing so, I opened a whole wide world of consultant coaching.”

“I enrolled in the 90-day Marketing Marathon because, as a solopreneur, I needed structure and marketing ideas.  Well, I got that in spades!  I felt like I could do anything I wanted!  In fact, one of the exercises to donate services to non-profits turned out to be one of my favorites.  I gained several new clients, and was invited to a very glamorous benefit dinner for “major donors” where over 300 people mingled and ate fabulous food.  I met loads of new people who are in a good position to expand my network and who can easily afford my services.  I would have had to market like mad for years to get into an event like this.  Instead, I ran with a great idea I got from the 90-day Marketing Marathon and had an absolute blast growing my business and supporting a wonderful non-profit.  What a win for everyone!”

A few months ago I read about the Marketing Marathon eCourse that Alicia Smith has developed and thought it might be a helpful resource for my accounting practice.  One of my greatest challenges is figuring out how to market my firm to new clients.  I’m a numbers person with very little marketing experience, so I was seeking a tool that would give me marketing basics and guidelines on how to develop a marketing strategy for my firm that would actually work.

Marketing Marathon gave me all those things and more. The lessons helped me focus on the type of marketing that would work best for my business.  As a result of working through the eCourse, I was able for the first time to build a marketing strategy for my firm. 

If you are in a quandary, like I was, over how to market your business, consider Alicia Smiths’ Marketing Marathon eCourse.  It’s quick, fun and the results you get from it are well worth your investment.

“I can’t say enough about the 90 Day Marketing Marathon™!  It pushed me into action, and propelled me to step through the fear to do things I’ve always wanted to do, and some things I didn’t! The daily lessons were great – I haven’t done them all yet, but have sure seen awesome results from the ones I have! For example, there has always been a budding writer in me, but I’d never published anything. I got my first Top Ten article published, which was picked up by many other newsletters, and has attracted a lot of interest to my website. I also started my newsletter, and now publish that monthly. I sent some letters to my target market and attracted two paid speaking engagements, took a short teleclass course and am presenting my first teleclass, took a volunteer position with ICF, made a presentation to my local Chamber of Commerce, as well as did a joint presentation on coaching to a meeting- to name a few of the things. Because of my actions, I attracted new clients, which was great!

I have gained a lot of confidence through this course, it pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, and the more I do, the more confident and comfortable I become with myself. I realize if I want to be known, I need to put myself out there, and am taking those steps and doing it. My whole attitude about marketing has changed. This course has really helped me see the positives to it, and to step through my fears and do it anyway! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ”

I wanted to tell you some good stuff that happened to me as an indirect or direct result of taking the marketing class:

• I’ve written several articles on coaching and journaling as per the first few lessons about writing top tens and other titles, and submitting them for promotional reasons to several free newsletters.
• I’ve attended several teleclasses since class started and one or two before. I’ve been listening to different teachers working with different teleconference programs.
• I’m thinking in a ‘marketing’ mode, more than I was at the beginning of class.
• Thinking in a ‘marketing mode’ is becoming easier for me to do.
• Along with a web master, I’ve recently opened up my new beadwork site. (it’s no longer housed on my coaching site)
• I became more active in a local networking group, where I am focusing on talking more about my creative coaching services.
• I have one new coaching client.
• I’ve been writing stronger copy for my coaching web site…

Thanks for your class and your support.
