Brad Sugars on What Are You Selling?
I have spent a lot of time recently helping clients with their advertising. Quickly the conversation will center on “what is the intent” of the advertisement. Is the Ad being used to market a product or service or is it being used to sell? Too many times the advertising piece is trying to do both, market and sell. At this point, I bring the client back to the sales process we’ve developed, to clarify the intent of the advertisement. To learn more, keep reading Brad Sugars Reviews!
This same concept holds true for all your marketing strategies. Since most businesses do not have the money to spend on branding themselves, selling becomes a part of the marketing efforts.
But who do people buy from?
They buy from businesses they:
1. Know,
2. Like
3. Trust.
Therefore the sales process needs to do 3 things. It must provide credibility of the business and the person selling the product or service. The sales process must also create interest from the prospect in the product.
Finally, it must force a buying decision by the prospect.
Brad Sugars on Credibility – Interest – Decision
Put some time into creating your sales process. Determine the intent of each of your marketing pieces and strategies you’ve developed. Ask yourself “at which step does each strategy fit within the process?” The sales process starts with identifying your target market and ends with a closed sale.
For most products and services the time from beginning to end is longer than you’d initially expect. By making the process systematic and properly using your marketing and sales strategies your customer acquisition costs will go down and your sales will go up!
Have a successful month.

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone
It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.
Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:
Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)
cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.
Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.
By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.
These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.
Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.
Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.
It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
