Resources

Here is a list of people and products that have contributed (some mightily!) to my success. There are many others who have contributed to my success who are not on this list for various reasons. The ones I’ve listed here are the ones I think will benefit most of my clients, too.

We’ll be updating this list regularly. If you have some resources you think should be included, please email me and let me know.

Andrea J. Lee (www.andreajlee.com)

Andrea is the former General Manager of Coachville; she is now the President of the Andrea J. Lee family of companies. She has written the books Multiple Streams of Coaching Income and Money, Meaning and Beyond.

Andrea wrote (in Multiple Streams of Coaching Income) that speaking and training were the most lucrative marketing strategies for coaches. She helped me to realize that I had a specialized coaching niche as the Coach’s Speaking Coach—because I am a coach, a speaker and a trainer, and I train speakers and trainers. When coaches asked me if they could invite their business associates, friends and family members to my speaking classes, I realized that I had also become the Business Speaking Coach. Andrea is at the forefront of the coaching profession. It is her goal to “put money (with the meaning) in the pockets of 10,000 coaches by 2010. She is already helping me to realize my professional and financial goals.

C.J. Hayden (www.getclientsnow.com)

C.J. was a breakout session speaker at the International Coach Federation’s 2006 Conference in St Louis when we met. Her focus was to inspire coaches to think outside the box in terms of marketing their coaching services. If it’s true that coaching can change the world—and I believe can—then coaches, as a profession, need to get the word out about how it can happen. C.J. is passionate about coaching and helping coaches be successful in business. I have learned so much from her and from her book, Get Clients Now!, which is simply a treasure trove of marketing information and how to's. Like Andrea, she says that speaking and training are the best ways for any service professional to have the most impact on their potential clients.

Kendall SummerHawk (www.kendallsummerhawk.com)

Kendall has just become my coach for creating my brand and products. Her specialty is all facets of creating products, Web sites, discovering your authentic self and using that to create your brand. She uses the context of archtypes to help you find what is really true about you so you can share that with other people. (It is very similar to the process I use to help you discover you Inner Speaker). She gives away so much useful information on her Web site; she is simply a cornucopia of marketing wisdom. I have learned so much from her—and I’m learning more every day.

Milana Leshinsky (www.accpow.com)

Milana is another marketing genius—and the reason that I know so much more about the business side of being in business. She created the concept of telesummit. It's just like a conference, but you do it all over a bridgeline—like a conference call. You can have people from all over the world join you from their living rooms! She is just simply a genius at creating new ways to help people learn how to do business—and she meets them where they are, with a wide range of strategies for those completely new to business and those who simply want to increase their business to 6 or 7 figures after many years of success. She is the founder of the Association of Coaches & Consultants Practicing on the Web (ACCPOW), which, like Aladdin’s cave of wonders, is full to overflowing with business strategies.

Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com)

I use Constant Contact to maintain my community database, send out my newsletter and automaically respond to my client requests (one of the many strategies I learned about from Milana, Andrea, and Kendall).

Professional Cart Solutions (www.profcs.com)

Professional Cart Solutions manages the billing and credit card processing for all of my classes and products. It also has autoresponders that send out information to customers after they make a purchase.

AudioAcrobat (maiabeatty.audioacrobat.com)

Chuck has always told me that I need to have my own radio show; with AudioAcrobat I can! I record all of my teleclasses, so anyone who registers can have a copy to listen to again and again. I also will be using the recordings to create products this year as I work with Kendall. There are other companies that provide this service—in my research and experience, I have found AudioAcrobat to the the best for my needs.

Practice Pay Solutions (www.practicepaysolutions.com)

This is the company that I use to handle my merchant account and billing for my coaching practice.
