In this episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Kristi Mitchell, Marketing Strategist and Consultant.
 
During our discussion, we explored the difficulties business owners face in marketing and how Kristi helps them create a strategy that not only gets results but gets them excited. We'll also dive into a variety of marketing topics including how to market if you don't yet have a ton of contacts, creating a compelling lead magnet, and how to prioritize your marketing list and not get overwhelmed.
 
About Kristi Michell
Kristi Mitchell is a Marketing Strategist & Consultant. She believes that the number one reason business owners don't see marketing results is because they lack a strategy. She believes that marketing should never be the thing that holds you back from being successful in your business. Kristi jokes that it's her personal mission to make you love marketing - really though, her goal is to help you get excited about it because it feels good AND gets you the results you want. Kristi brings an MBA, over ten years of corporate marketing experience, and a drive for continual learning to the work she does with her clients.

As a small business owner, do you ever find yourself thinking or feeling:
 
You don't have what it takes to make this business work
Guilty asking for money or a certain level of payment. You just want to provide your service and not worry about charging.
Resistant to raising your rates to match the value you provide
You hate selling
When you do surpass your financial goals, you don't give yourself credit or celebrate

 
Those are just some of the mindsets Christine Mathieu discusses the importance of overcoming on this call.
