Hi
As we're rolling into the last quarter of the year, it's a great time
to start really pushing on your marketing. Why? Because this is the time of year that companies are setting up their 2018 budgets and you absolutely want to be a part of that. You want companies to see what they pay you as a planned resource investment that will carry them througout the year.
So what does that look like?
- Get your website up to date with any changes you've been thinking about making
- Raise your rates! Now's the best time to try to earn more for what you do.
- Work on your
value statement...there's a reason you always hear "benefits > features" in business. It's because nobody wants your services for their own sake. They want what your services can do for them.
- Up your skills. We're a little deep into the year to learn anything major, but you can definitely
refresh or refine some skills in a month or two.
Me? I'm going to be finishing up a direct response writing course so I can offer it to my new niche (sports and nutrition). It's going to be a big part of me pushing my earning solidly into 6-figures next year, so I've got to nail some things down in the short term. I hope you'll be doing the same.
