Critical Goals of Monthly Analysis:  It should be noted the primary reason for embarking upon this program is the realization that all successful companies must recognize the importance of marketing. The monthly analysis will in effect be a mastermind process with John responsible for getting the “right questions” asked. By committing to this process, the coaching client is ensuring progress toward substantial growth in sales and profits is always a priority In fact, this process may even reveal certain types of business and customers that should be dropped in favor of more profitable opportunities, thus re-inventing the business.

Monthly Tasks: Together, you will decide on a topic or two for each month. Recognizing the importance of the Unique Selling Proposition, you may want to start there. Each month you will meet for 2 hours and John will research the topics ahead of time to ensure the meeting has a relevant agenda and there are appropriate materials to review. In some cases, John may request information be available for the meeting and/or prior to the meeting for review.

A short report of major findings and recommendations will be prepared by John each month. Jointly you determine the priorities of each of these items and how to implement any suggestions. If John is requested to do additional project work (e.g. writing a sales letter or preparing a new sales policy), that would be at additional billable time, which would be prior approved by the coaching client.

John will also be available by phone or email (john@cohoatbusinessgrowth.com) in the event of other questions or issues arise during the month and for which a quicker answer is desired.

Minimum Commitment: To ensure there is adequate emotional commitment to the process, a minimum 6 month commitment is required.
