Marketing Discovery Session

What: A two-hour consulting and coaching session focused on your small business marketing needs

Why: To find clarity, confidence, and renewed energy to move forward with your marketing.

Expected Outcomes

Even if you think you hate marketing, we’ll find what makes it fun and easy for you. Forget about what other people are doing.

Val is helping me to find creative ways to market myself that are also aligned with who I am and what I feel very comfortable doing. I would highly recommend Val.

You will walk away with:

Clarity of where you are on the business “roadmap.”
Clarity of what needs to be prioritized.
An understanding of what is in the way and what it takes to get unstuck.
Restorative energy and confidence for moving forward.

Val keeps the focus, holds the keys of relevance, nourishes the psyche and instills the spirit with a sense of willingness, no, passion for the next step. And if the next step isn’t clear, she will change that!

Who Is It For?

The Marketing Discovery Session is for anyone who wants the above results. I specialize in helping women and introverts who want to be successfully and meaningfully self-employed.

You might want to address concerns such as:

“Love my work but hate marketing.”
“How do I narrow my niche?”
“I feel stuck about what to say on my website.”
“My website is ready but I’m not getting enough response.”
“I need more income now. What’s the fastest path?”

If you are wondering if you need to work on the broader picture than just marketing, consider my regular Discovery Session instead. We can decide together in our initial call.

A Discovery Session (of either type) is where all my new clients begin. It is valuable by itself for a short-term burst. You’ll gain more lasting results if you use it as a launching pad for business coaching or marketing coaching.

A few additional marketing sessions can be enough to gain the traction you’ve been trying to find for years, as this woman found within three meetings:

I got immediate positive results working with Val. She helped me with web marketing for my healing practice. The process was fun, and the results immediate and dramatic. She also helped me to envision what I optimally want my business to be like, and to take practical steps toward manifesting that vision. I highly recommend her!

Cost

$295 for the Marketing Discovery Session

Apply $50 of that towards any three-month or six-month coaching package that you begin immediately afterwards. I provide this savings as a way to support you in moving forward while the iron is hot. It makes a difference.

For best results, add at least an additional four sessions, or what I call the Deep Discovery and Planning Series. That series is $595.

Includes:

Marketing assessment form to help you begin the clarification process before we meet.
2-hour coaching/consulting session.
Follow-up homework.
With the additional sessions, you also get:
- Four 45-minute sessions.
- Structured guidance after each session.
- Availability between sessions.

My Approach

You don’t have to spend a fortune to rise above the noise, but you do have to invest something — strategically.
It doesn’t have to be that hard. When it feels hard, it’s time to get help.
Authenticity is the most effective way to be successful. (some proof)
Even introverts can enjoy marketing when they know the secrets.
