The journey from a consultant without a structured marketing plan to a business owner with a clear, comprehensive strategy was transformative. - Sarah George

It's December 2024 and we gaze into the life of Mark, a business consultant. Just a year ago, Mark had realized that despite his expertise in consulting, he lacked a structured marketing plan to propel his business forward. Determined to change that, he chose to invest in his approach to marketing, leading to significant progress by the year's end.

In January 2024, Mark had an epiphany. He understood that without a solid marketing strategy, his services were not reaching their full potential. He was left spinning his wheels without any results. After reading a blog post from Connective Consulting, he decided to schedule a call.

After meeting with Sarah at Connective Consulting, he agreed to work with her to get his marketing clear and consistent. First, they had a workshop meeting to go over all marketing efforts. Sarah audited each process and made recommendations for improvement. Understanding Mark's main objectives to accomplish, she could work backwards to marry tactics with each goal. She then laid out an easy-to-follow marketing strategy that would help Mark reach his business goals.

Throughout the months, Mark followed the plan. There were times he wanted to call it quits, and results didn't come immediately. Part of his plan was integrating technology. Sarah helped Mark set up automated email marketing campaigns to streamline communication; allowing him to connect with prospects more efficiently.

Clarity became his guiding principle. Mark recognized that clear messaging to a specific audience was more effective than a general reach to the masses. Sarah developed a clear marketing message for Mark that focused on his clients' problem and how Mark offers a specific solution. A single storyline produced more engagement and drew in higher-quality clients.

Mark remained consistent, while also monitoring results of his efforts, and adapted as needed. With his goals in mind, he tailored his approaches accordingly; ensuring his consulting services remained relevant and impactful.

As December 2024 drew to a close and Mark prepared his tax documents, his P&L revealed the progress he had made in just one year. The journey from a consultant without a structured marketing plan to a business owner with a clear, comprehensive strategy was transformative. Looking ahead, he felt invigorated by the possibilities the future held. Mark was ready to continue his journey, armed with a refined strategy and an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional consulting services in the years to come. Having Connective Consulting on his team made it all possible.

Schedule a call to begin your future.

What does it mean to connect to your clients? One definition of connecting is to join together to provide access and communication. You have to hear them. Then you can speak to them, and they will be more likely to hear you. Knowing who you are marketing to and what matters to them is critical.


How do you do that? It starts with research and understanding.
