Helping
Clients Instead
Marketing
.isn’t working
A  whole  stack  of  things…  like  not  
feeling  comfortable  with  promo6ng  
yourself,  not  having  enough  money,  
not  having  the  resources  your  
compe6tors  have,  not  knowing  what  
to  do  and  not  having  the  6me,  energy  
or  focus  to  market  consistently.
Because things are

weighed against you.
Why?
You’re  told  that  you  need  to  find  the  
right  image,  the  right  words  and  the  
right  offer.  That  it’s  all  about  convincing  
clients;  to  no6ce  you,  to  like  you,  to  look  
at  your  marke6ng  materials,  to  check  out  
your  offers,  to  eventually  work  with  you  
and  then…  to  recommend  you  to  others.    
That’s  a  whole  lo,a  convincing!
It’s all about
convincing… isn’t it?
Marketing
.there is another way
.just help
It’s  what  you  do  anyway…  at  the  very  
heart  of  your  business.  If  you  use  your  
knowledge,  skills  or  experience  to  
help  others,  it’s  the  fundamental  core  
transac6on  of  your  business.  
You  might  call  it  something  else  but…
Stop “Convincing”
and start “Helping”.
Helping
.most service businesses
help people solve problems
Fact
.or help them to
unlock potential
Fact
.or help them
do both!
Fact
.so stop thinking
“marketing”…
.and just start
“helping”…
.”helping is the
best marketing”
.why?
.people HATE being
marketed to
Marketing
.but they LOVE being helped!
Helping
.you can’t out-market
the bigger players
Marketing
.but you can hit them where it
hurts, by changing the game
Helping
.can be SO confusing
Marketing
.is something you already
know and do every day
Helping
.you fight to be heard
Marketing
.clients actively seek you out &
want to hear what you say
Helping
.can be costly, with
uncertain R.O.I.
Marketing
.leverages your kick-ass skills
and builds assets
