The Complete A-Z Guide to Successfully Position Your Business & Own That Coveted Space in Your Customers Mind

We Start May 18th 2023 at 4.30pm GMT/ 11.30am EST

 

I'M READY! LET'S DO THIS FINOLA!

Guided by Get Strategic is right for you if you want the map...

for how to position yourself so you can own that coveted space in your customers mind.

A customer that you get to choose and who chooses you right back!

 

You are right for Guided by Get Strategic if you want your marketing to feel like you AND deliver results.

This is purpose driven marketing for purpose led entrepreneurs and marketers who want to make their difference in the world.

If you are...

  • A service provider who’s reached a very real ceiling and wants to take your business to the next level

  •  A niche marketer who wants to truly understand the big picture, get more strategic and move higher up the value chain. 

  • A marketing team lead of an entrepreneurial business and want to tap into how your employers think and what you need to do to take that business to the next stage of it's growth. 

 

If this sounds like you, then you are in the right place!

I know, you already know that the clearer your marketing is to the people you want to serve, the greater your impact in the world AND the more profitable your business can become.

I know, you know this, because you've gotten

this far in your business already!

What you’ve realised now is that in order to progress, you have to be top of mind with MORE of your ideal customers - the ones you haven’t met yet! 

You need to expand beyond who you already know and be seen for what you do best. That’s the space you want to own! 

And you KNOW, when you own that space, your customers will seek YOU out.

They will be drawn by what you say, how you say it and to the answers you have to their pain points.

When that happens, that's the point where you'll take all those insights and convert them into a marketing process that allows you to scale what you do.

And that means you will have finally cracked the system that will help you build the business you've always dreamed of.

Even if you're lucky enough to have regular business coming in the door, when you actively position your business to own your space in the market you can:

INSTANTLY RAISE YOUR PROFILE & AUTHORITY

You, and your business become recognisable as the ones to work with to address this challenge or problem. That means your customers will seek you out and want to buy what you've created because they trust you. 

This can also lead to speaking gigs where more of your customers will be sitting in the audience ready to hear what you have to say, and again, buy from you. That can translate into book deals, valuable partnerships, and all sorts of exciting and unexpected opportunities that add new revenue streams to your business. 

COMMAND HIGHER RATES

As you increasingly "own your space", more people will be able to find you so demand for what you have to offer increases. This allows you to command higher fees for your precious time... and get it. It also expands how you think about your time, discovering new ways to serve that help you reach more people using less time. You start to innovate to meet the demand.

GENERATE CONSISTENT, RELIABLE CASH FLOW

You don't have to worry about running out of clients or figuring out when the next one will land. You'll have a series of offerings that plug the cash flow gaps that used to haunt you. You'll combine different models to play to your strengths nurturing each customer along a path that serves them best and becomes predictable for you. You finally get to break the cycle of feast or famine in your cash flow and instead invest in how you can grow again. 

CREATE SPACE TO SCALE YOUR BUSINESS

When you started this you wanted the freedom to make your own rules; to live the life you wanted to live. Entrepreneur burn out is real and because you've factored that into your strategy you have put systems in place that are aligned not just with reaching more people but also with enabling you to have the freedom to stay in your zone of genius. You see the possibility of your own success so you plan for it and then make it happen.  

BUILD THE BUSINESS YOU ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING

It might seem indulgent to speak about it now but this is about making your business & life dreams real and you can't make them real unless you make them tangible. 

When I started, my business was very much in flux. I'd been trading for a few years, but knew that I needed more clarity and focus on where I was going, how I wanted to operate and ultimately what my "big picture" looked like. I got all that, and so much more.  The journey through the program was very "onion-like" for me, as I peeled back the layers of my business, but also myself!

But the results were transformative - each stage put a building block in place for the next. That in combination with Finola's sage advice, expert guidance and gentle encouragement to dig a little deeper & push a little further, as well as the support, insight and knowledge of my fellow participants helped me bring my business to a place I couldn't have reached alone.

Clarity and Focus? Yes, Please!

SO, WHERE DO I START?

Up until now, all your marketing has probably been both instinctive and /or tactical. You've won some business awards which felt really good. You're doing your best to be as consistent as you can on social media. You're learning about reels, SEO or list building  etc.

To be honest, it's very time consuming and often a bit overwhelming. It just seems like there's always more to do; more social media, more blogging, updating the website, lead magnets, networking, meetings etc.

It seems like with all this effort, the business you should be making more profitable.  

You're right. It should be and it can be.

Here's why most entrepreneurs get frustrated with their marketing.

Without a clear positioning strategy in place, most entrepreneurs find it difficult to identify what actually needs to be done to own a space, clearly and undeniably. 

So much of marketing today, focuses on singular pieces of the puzzle. A product, a post, a channel, a campaign, a tactic etc. Rarely are all these pieces connected to each other and rarely to the overall business strategy. It is in effect a fragmented approach.

When your Marketing Is Fragmented the Result is a Whisper in the Marketplace.

Not a Statement Made with Confidence and Certainty. 

You're already busy taking care of existing clients, delivering on services, handling all those emails that plague your inbox and maybe even courting a new customer or two. You literally can't afford to veer off course.

And the moment you get lost and your marketing becomes like a never ending hamster wheel, it's almost impossible to step out and remind yourself what the point was.

So, getting your market positioning right is THE most important thing to get right in your business

Don't panic. So few businesses get their positioning right. That's why they talk so much about the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial journey. A roller coaster ride that you don't have to take.

That is... if you follow the map to find your space AND then Own It! 

"It helped me elevate and grow my business with confidence."... "when I look back at what actually happened in my business, I'm astonished"... "Your insights are brilliant and you read people and a business with precision."... "Setting the "safe" parameters was also really comforting, especially at the beginning"... "you will be nourished and supported in a way that is warm and gentle but kindly leaves you no space to hide behind your bullshit"... "It eliminated all the external noise, allowing me to focus on rediscovering my why.  As the belief in myself and my abilities blossomed so did my business"...

(and how to guarantee yours won't)

I'm Ready To Own My Space

I'M IN!

Shhh... I'm going to let you in on the

BEST KEPT MARKETING SECRET


Every business that achieves success invests in their marketing - but it's only when they connect it to every aspect of their business that the numbers truly increase.

The ones you think of as innovators or disruptors are just the ones who dig deep enough to find their uniqueness that matters. 

The truth is that so many businesses get dazzled by the tactics that they never get a chance to truly figure out what works. It all just seems like a lot of stuff to get your head around without the return you truly wish for. 

But as long as you can avoid the traps that most businesses get stuck in, the path is paved for you and the business you've always dreamed of having. 

One that allows you to achieve more freedom, create more income and make an impact while scaling your business to true profitability. 

The key ingredient to all of this is to get strategic and get results. 

And with your permission, that's what I'd LOVE to show you how to do. 

Finola is enthusiastic energy, coupled with creative insight to guide her clients to articulate their why. Finola enabled me remove my own barriers, taught me new skills, introduced me to new tools and practices but mostly pushed me to think bigger.

INTRODUCING

GUIDED BY GET STRATEGIC

The Complete A-Z Guide to Successfully Position Your Business & Own That Coveted Space in Your Customers Mind

SIGN ME UP! I'M READY TO TAKE MY BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

I’ve been a Brand & Market Positioning Strategist and Thinking Partner to businesses that want to scale since 1992. This programme brings together that experience and takes you through the exact same process I go through with my clients. 

This approach has delivered multiple 7 Figure revenue results for so many of my clients and I've channelled that into a comprehensive, step by step strategic AND implementation program that not only teaches you how to think differently about your marketing but how you can  implement it aswell. 

GUIDED BY GET STRATEGIC IS ABOUT CHANGING HOW YOU THINK AND DO YOUR MARKETING

Yes, you'll learn best practice for how to approach every step on the journey, but more importantly you'll learn how to unlock your own voice in the process so that your marketing is fully aligned with where you want to take your business and that it always feels like you. Because you'll finally discover what feels like you instead of looking for the answers elsewhere. 

The end result: a business that is fully aligned with who you are and what your customers need. Marketing that feels like you AND delivers results. 

Timeline of The Guided Program

If you're like me you'll want to know when we start and how the program is spaced out so you can plan it into your week. We meet for a Guided Session every two weeks. This way you have space to implement between sessions so you grow as we go.

The sessions are 90 minutes max &  run from 4.30 pm to 6pm latest.  I always allocate that last 30 minutes for discussion and questions.

We start the 12 live sessions on the 18th May 2023 with a 4 Week Summer Break half way through. We return one month after the program is complete to reflect, review and adjust.
