Who Is Your Ideal Customer - Building a Customer Avatar to Drive More Leads Do you know who your ideal customer is? Most entrepreneurs would say my products or services are for everyone but that can be a very costly and dangerous decision. Why? A customer who isn't your ideal customer can exhaust your time and resources, and even cost you more than what you would have gained. This workshop will focus on identifying who your ideal customers are, their buying behaviours, pain points and interest. This level of insight will help you understand your customers and it will help you create marketing strategies that will resonate to them, which can drive higher conversion rates. By understanding what your customers want, you can also develop and improve products or services in an effective way. RSVP Today! Kind regards, Julia Afdasta Life & Business Coach | Director E: julia@cwmg.co M: 07575884080 www.cwmg.co

Hi Professionals. This Group offers outstanding opportunities for you to Connect with Amazing People. Make a Friend Today by Messaging a Fellow Professional. You never know how Creating a new Friendship could Contribute to Your Success & Happiness!

Hello! Are you serious about executing your marketing plan consistently? I am. Although, to be honest I have really struggled to stick to my marketing plans. I tend to go for the "go big or go home" approach and then end up being overwhelmed and doing little or nothing. A solid marketing habit is the only thing between my current situation and an incredible lifestyle business. Tiny consistent actions every day is the way forward. If you find yourself in a similar situation jump on the video call every week day at 1pm - it's just 30 minutes. We will share goals, obstacles, strategies and provide accountability. Above all we will keep things tiny.

“I track my success to the people I know and can reach quickly. My business would not be possible without the quality of my personal network. “ -Dale Carnegie This is the power network in the South Bay. Nothing comes close to the business owners, entrepreneurs and power players in this network. If you have been struggling to break into the best companies, fighting to get your share of deals, or trying to get introductions with the most in demand CEO's then this is for you. Here's what you will get: Access to the top entrepreneurs in the South Bay. Here's how it works: This select group meets each week to reconnect with the sole purpose of supporting each others businesses - specifically to give warm referrals. We give leads that are from highly trusted sources. Here's what I want you to do next: Apply for the group on the link below. We will review your application and discuss it with the group to see if it is a good fit. The goal is to find entrepreneurs who are hungry to grow. You don't have to have a huge business, only the fierce burning desire to connect with South Bay businesses. We help you do this by offering tools to scale your business, implement new growth strategies, connect with subject matter experts and get your high level questions answered. Each week we meet to go over what we learned the previous week. You will meet the same people each week, get to know them and understand their business. This is an intimate setting for CEO's and business owners to get referrals, learn new information and get moral support. The CEO's journey can be lonely, this is a place to regroup and recharge. We are all supporting each other go grow our businesses, and the synergy created is greater than you could do alone. Be warned, this is a participation group only. If you want to join just to take deals and not give anything in return then it won't work. The people who succeed are the ones who share knowledge, offer expertise and give domain specific knowledge to the other CEO's A contractor doubled his business after 1 year as a member. An wellness center expanded into another city during the pandemic and doubled revenue every quarter. A business insurance firm wrote new policies for 10 million dollars in their first 100 days. A video production company got 10 new high paying clients in the first quarter. This is a group for people who are committed to taking their business to the next level and want to be surrounded by people who will push them to get there quickly.
