Quiet the Noise!
The ICF Core Competencies are your answer to growing your business with dignity and grace!
March 31, 2023 | 12:00pm ET
CCEUs- TBD
“You must use Social Media to grow your business.” “Effortlessly grow to six-figures while you sleep!” Quickly amass a HUGE WAITING LIST of high paying clients!
CRAP! Are you getting bombarded by “gurus” who make it all sound so simple and easy?
No wonder we feel overwhelmed, paralyzed and (think) we hate sales & marketing. We’re being lied to! Have you noticed that “the loud” folks saying this are the MARKETERS trying to sell you the secret pill, magic potion, THE formula to overnight success?
You are a smart coach. In this program, you will not be TOLD to do anything. Rather, we will share the following principles for you do adopt if they make sense for you: Creating and growing a coaching business is not “easy.” But it can be “SIMPLE.”
There are no “musts” in marketing. There’s what works, and what works FOR YOU. Sales & Marketing = SERVING THE ICF CORE COMPETENCIES are our guide!
Let’s quiet the noise. You don’t NEED social media, fancy funnels, an app, high tech systems, fancy software, or to be selling all the time. Heck you don’t even need “digital marketing.” You CAN have these things, but you don’t NEED any of them. There is a “system” for growing and maintaining your business. YOUR System!
You’ll walk away with improved self-awareness and a practical plan to help you grow your business in a manner that is ethical, dignified, and concrete...no empty promises.

Authentic Positioning Marketing with Divya Parekh
April 7, 2023 | 11:00am ET
CCEUs-TBD
During the pandemic, people were looking for new ways to make money online and coaching seemed to be the new trend. Unfortunately, the emergence of new coaches got accompanied by a slew of awful practices including unsavory marketing, misleading advice, and unkept promises. This led to another layer of skepticism in people's minds about coaching.
The answer to it is Authentic Positioning Marketing because it can help coaches separate themselves from traditional "icky" marketing and sales processes by building relationships with their target audience and providing value rather than just pushing a product or service. It helps them to avoid being seen as just another
"salesperson" and instead position themselves as trusted advisors focused on helping their clients achieve their goals.
Overall, authentic positioning marketing can help coaches build a more authentic and meaningful connection with their audience and establish themselves as go-to-experts in their fields.
Attendees will learn the following:
1. Understand the difference between authentic positioning and niching.
2. How to map out their authentic positioning in 7 steps.
3. How to implement authentic positioning to build meaningful connections, increase impact and business growth.

Bold Sales Conversations: How to Own Your Value without Feeling Pushy or Salesy with Mary Cravests
April 21, 2023 | 11:00am ET
SALES. For most people, that single word brings on eye-rolls and shudders of distaste. And no wonder! Nearly everyone has been scarred by high-pressure sales tactics.
The problem is that when those scars show up in your sales conversations, instead of enrolling clients you’re probably hearing a lot of, “I’ll think about it” or you’re offering discounts just to make the sale.
How do you stand firm in your value while staying away from manipulative, intrusive sales tactics?
In this session, Mary Cravets teaches how to break down resistance to
sales and get better results by applying a proven method based on
respect.
Attendees will participate in and walk away with the following:
- Get your hands on a complete sales conversation structure so you can
confidently ask to be paid what you’re worth AND empower prospects to
feel great about saying yes to your services.
- Shift old assumptions about sales and learn why those assumptions are
so limiting to both you and your prospects.
- Complete an assessment that reveals exactly how to apply the #1
strategy to decrease stress and increase enrollment.
Speaker:
Mary Cravets is an award-winning Client Generation Expert and International
Speaker who helps people grow their businesses without working nights and
weekends.
She’s heard ALL the confusing and conflicting advice out there - so she isn’t
surprised that most business owners struggle to establish a sustainable
business. But she’s here to change that.
Using her methods, the majority of Mary’s clients quickly increase their
income 50% or more. Clients range from the former CFO of Microsoft North
America, to coaches in their first few years of business, to thought-leaders in a
variety of service professions.
Mary is also a huge fan of roller coasters, obsessed with otters and proud
Mom to her cat Inneego Montoya.
