Marketing for Self-employed Service Professionals

Here's What a Few of My Clients Have to Say:

Steve Wortman, CPA

Certified Public Accountant http://www.SWortmanCPA.com

For many years I worked in a large CPA firm, but what I really wanted was to start my own practice where I could provide small business tax and accounting services. The problem was- I didn’t know how to attract enough new clients to be successful. So I stayed where I was, year after year.

Then I met Connie at a networking group. In our first meeting I realized that she was an extraordinary professional who who could help turn the dream of my own business into reality. I hired her for three months of consulting sessions. During that time she coached me through the creation of my website, helped me develop presentations and freely shared her deep knowledge of practical and successful marketing techniques.

The result? I made the leap and am now happily working in my own practice with an increasing number of local entrepreneurs- just what I wanted to do.

Every once in a while we are lucky enough to meet a person who makes a big positive difference in our lives. For me, Connie is one of those people. Thank you Connie!

Linda Raleigh,

Career Consultant http://www.PeoplePartnersllc.net

“Without Connie, I don't think I would ever have gotten my website up and running.

Creating a website had been a goal for my business for over a year, and Connie simplified the process, took away my concerns, and gave me a simple step-by-step process to get up and running.

Connie also made me think more clearly about my services and how to offer them to prospective clients, as well as showing me how to get an e-zine started.

...Excellent follow-up services, straightforward, and did exactly what she told me she would do. Thank you, Connie."

Ann Brett & Carol Ann Kelsey-Smith,

Lic. Massage Therapists & Co-Owners Avenue Massage Therapy Associates http://www.GreenwichMassage.com

"We have known Connie Scholl for nine years, and we are now in our 2nd professional relationship with her -– Connie is a gem.

Nine years ago, Connie hired us as massage therapists in her then very successful business. Now that she has moved on to her next successful career as a Marketing Coach -– we had absolutely no hesitation in hiring Connie to “sort us out” and help us market our business, Avenue Massage Therapy Associates.

Connie fine-tuned our marketing strategy, and helped us prepare our new website, greenwichmassage.com, for final publication. Her marketing advice and web knowledge has proved to be priceless.

After just 10 coaching sessions with Connie, we are behaving like savvy business women and attracting more clients than we ever imagined."

Kristin

Kristin Andree,

Managing Director http://www.nmfn.com/kristinandree

"Like most financial service professionals, my expertise lies with the products and services my company provides- NOT with marketing!!! When I was asked to relocate to Connecticut to serve as Managing Director for one of our company’s offices, I underestimated how difficult it would be to “start from scratch” in building a new client base. I nonetheless hit the ground running, full of energy and enthusiasm-but without a fully developed marketing plan.

That is where Connie came into play. I met Connie at a networking event, and immediately realized how helpful she would be to my practice. I hired her to help me develop a marketing plan to grow both my personal practice and to grow our office. Connie was able to quickly and clearly articulate what it was I needed to do on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis to grow our business and hit our goals. By helping me put a clear plan in place, one that outlines the precise steps to take to build a solid client base, Connie has created an incredible amount of efficiency in my daily routine. This has not only allowed me to effectively grow my practice, it has also created time for me to focus on building relationships with my clients, my contacts and my family and friends.
I would highly recommend Connie to anyone looking to not only grow their business, but also to those who want to infuse some structure and efficiency into your routine. Connie teaches you to make “marketing yourself” part of your everyday routine!"

Hana Rubin,

Chief Financial Officer http://www.MaxonCo.com

"Working with Connie for the past nine months has taken my company's marketing efforts to a completely new level. Today, we're enjoying more exposure out in the marketplace and more closed business as a result. Not to mention, we're getting all the added benefits of a full-time marketing manager, without enduring a big expense!

Having unlimited access to Connie each week keeps me motivated and accountable to my marketing plan and long range business goals. More often than not, I find myself faced with tight deadlines relating to our company's promotional needs. Having access to Connie during these times is a priceless benefit - She always responds to my needs immediately, offering her thoughts, ideas and marketing expertise.

In short, hiring Connie as my marketing coach was one of the smartest business decisions I've made all year!"

Liam Coughlan,

Lic. Contractor http://www.CompleteCarpentryServices.com

"After starting my own business, Complete Carpentry Services, LLC in 2005, one of my biggest hurdles was getting my company name out there and in front of potential clients.

I met Connie at a networking group and after learning about all the marketing services she provided, I was intrigued. Soon after, I hired Connie to create a website for my business.

Connie reserved my domain name, wrote my copy and designed a site that has not only given me the ability to advertise my work on the Internet, but also the freedom and flexibility to make updates and maintain it myself. My new site has already brought in clients, and I am anticipating more referrals from it everyday!

I highly recommend Connie and her marketing solutions to any type of small business that wants to "stand out from the crowd and reap the rewards." Thanks Connie!"

Laura

Laura Hughes,

President http://www.TheRiverviewGroupINC.com

"I enrolled in Connie's Boot Camp Program after taking her one hour "Elevator Pitch" class. I have been networking for over 10 years and realized I didn't have a 1 minute commercial that would engage someone to ask me more about what I did. A lightbulb went off after this hour with Connie and I received 4 referrals the following week.
Connie's easy going style and her enthusiasm for your business success is what sets her apart from most coaches. She gives you material that you can put to use right away to grow your business. The most tangible result I have experienced is a focused marketing system. I have a client centered message for both written and oral communication that I feel energized and excited about. Connie's systems are easy to implement and will put your marketing on autopilot, so you can get back to doing what you love to do."

Sally Cimino,

Founder http://www.PoopPatrolCT.com
"I just started my own business, Poop Patrol, LLC Dog Waste Removal Service in March 2006 and the best thing I ever did was take the “Marketing for Small Businesses” continuing education class at Greenwich High School. This is where I met Connie, who I subsequently hired to be my personal marketing consultant. She taught me so much and really directed where and how I should market. When I get off the phone with Connie, I’m so pumped and excited to complete my marketing tasks because her energy, passion and direction inspire me to take the steps I need to successfully achieve my business goals. She has helped me gain so much exposure – I have been in all three Greenwich newspapers! Connie hasn’t steered me wrong yet, and I will continue to use her for all my marketing needs in the future. Thanks Connie"

Catherine M. Garros, Reflexologist http://www.ReflexologyforLife.com

“I want to thank you for all the energy you have put into helping me take my business to a new level. Before working with you I was the best kept secret in Cos Cob,CT! Your advising has made it possible for me to gain so much more exposure -and now I'm filling up my practice as a result. The most significant improvement I experienced from our work together was the overall number of new clients calling me --it skyrocketed! Along with my income and my self-assurance about the value I offer each of my clients. Thank you again for your expertise and marketing advice."

Damien Casten, Co-founder http://www.CandidWines.com

"I've known Connie for three years and her advice and support have been key in launching my own business. She has a knack for recognizing entrepreneurs' strengths and helping them to seize their potential. From the start, I have felt that my success is personally important to Connie.

Connie is self-made; this is the second successful small business she has built. This experience is the foundation of ConnieCoach. She relates to clients as a fellow small business owner, not an ineffectual consultant. Connie's thoughts on my situation continuously reflect a decade of sales and marketing success and my company is better equipped to succeed with her as an advisor."

Kali Nicole Lawson, Make-up Artist http://www.StarBeautyandStyle.com

"...You are the best! I look forward to each and every one of our sessions. Before you became my coach I was all over the place and could never put my ideas into action. Now, working with you, I actually own and operate a real business.

When I come to our sessions with a marketing issue you give me straightforward advice that enables me to make smart decisions. I especially appreciate that you’ve never tried to make my business like other businesses; you’ve helped me find my unique voice.

Thanks to your expert advice, I now have a better understanding of how to run my business, Star Beauty – and I also have the confidence to command a fee that is equal to the high quality of my services –working with you as helped me to increase the number of clients I have, and to see my ideas through. Thank you! I know I would not have made it this far without you.

If there is anyone who would like to hear first hand the value of your marketing programs, please have them email me!"

Jill Foster, Mortgage Broker http://www.TheMortgageArrangers.com
“I chose to work with Connie in order to help me develop new ways of growth and expansion for my mortgage broker business. Connie has a wealth of practical and technical knowledge and was able to immediately help me “think outside the box” when it comes to where and how I should be working to attract additional clients. I have been able to implement many of her suggestions, the most helpful of which is her steering me to websites that would help me accomplish my current goals, as well as websites that have given me ideas and resources to help me formulate my future goals. I am already starting to see the initial results of my new marketing efforts, and am anticipating great success, thanks to Connie.”

Noelle Bonczek, Artist
"It was so great to talk with you this week and absorb more of your energy. Enclosed is my very first press release (on the front page no less!) -- and it's all directly a result of everything you taught me. Thank you!!"

Antoinette

Antoinette Dyer, Certified Massage Therapist, Travelers Rest, SC

"Before I made the decision to hire Connie, I was struggling to get new clients into my office.
At the time, I had a very small network and I was not receiving the referrals I needed to reach my business goals.

Connie taught me several new ways to become a more effective networker; including how to introduce myself at networking events in a way that instantly captures a prospective client's attention.
Working with Connie (both privately and in her boot camp program) was a very smart business decision for me.

After just a few weeks I began attracting several new client leads and many more business opportunities.
But the best part about my experience with Connie is that I have landed 4 new massage clients to date...and I'm really starting to enjoy the marketing game!"

Jerry

Jerry McSorley, Home Inspector http://www.ShorelandsInspect.com
"Before I hired Connie, I wasn't getting any response from my direct mail campaigns, and I struggled with trying to find creative ways to form referral-based relationships with the real estate agents in town.
During our initial one-hour strategy session, Connie asked me questions and gathered a lot of information about my current marketing methods; pointing out which ones were working, and which ones needed revising.

Two days later Connie presented me with a written marketing plan that was filled with several great marketing ideas and techniques.

Now that I know what I need to do to market and build my business, I'm really pumped-up and inspired to put all of these ideas into action!

Pizza

Andrew Pane, Restaurant Owner http://www.PizzaPostFairfield.com

"Before I worked with Connie I was struggling to figure out ways to get more of the local college kids into my restaurant. After meeting for about an hour or so, Connie and I discussed all of my goals and what I wanted my marketing to do for me.

A few days later I was presented with a marketing plan that mapped out the steps I needed to take to bring in more customers. Since that time, I've tapped into the student market and developed a website that allows customers to order online.

Thanks to Connie the road to success is much clearer - And I feel motivated to spend time marketing and building my business."

Kim

Kimberly Kristoff, Lic. Massage Therapist Greenwich,CT

.."When I decided to enroll in Connie's Boot Camp Program, it was because I wanted access to a marketing recipe for creating a successful healing practice.

Connie provided me with all the proper marketing tools I needed to achieve my business goals. She showed me exactly how to target the right kind of massage clients, and how to make use of my time and financial resources efficiently and effectively.

I found The Client Generator Boot Camp Program to be fun, inspiring and very informative! I highly recommend this group marketing program to self-employed professionals who have either just started out in business and need to bring in clients, or who have been in business for a while and want to grow to the next level."

Lisa

Lisa Faski, Lic. Massage Therapist Stamford,CT

"Before taking Connie's Boot Camp Program I was overwhelmed with the thought of marketing my new massage business. I just didn't know where to start. So I decided to enroll in her 8 week marketing program. Before the end of it, I was putting all of her ideas into action in my business, step-by-step. This program is packed with useful information and practical strategies that really DO work!"
