Ellevated Outcomes

"Business coaching" is an industry with no bounds. It's blurry, every provider's approach is different, and prospective clients are indeed prospective because... well, they want help. So as we continue learning about the wide range of providers and choices within our industry, along with the needs of our small business clients, we have a responsibility to educate and give small business owners the knowledge to make the best decision for themselves. We hope that this post is a helpful starting point and clarifies: • When is the right time to seek business support? • What should I know before I begin my search? • How do I find a great fit for me? • What should I ask during a prospect meeting? • And how do I make a final decision? 

What's a Small Business Advisor for Entrepreneurs? In 2021 I wrote an article that began: "When people call Ellevated Outcomes a coach instead of a business advisor, my stomach drops." And while I still may have traces of this dread, after 6+ years in this industry, my confidence has grown and I'm a bit less precious when someone calls us their business coach. I've come to accept that most people who find us are initially seeking a coach - until they understand what makes us unique as a Small Business Advisor for Entrepreneurs... #accountability #businessadvisor #businesscoach #businessconsultant #sarahpatton #smallbusiness #smallbusinessgrowth #TammyMccammonTracy https://lnkd.in/gHBHhE6b

We're Hiring a Strategist! Our position may be for you, if you’re a Business Coach for Entrepreneurs or a Small Business Consultant. Perhaps you’re a recovering consultant, looking for meaningful and measurable impact on clients’ businesses (and lives!) instead of PowerPoint presentations with great ideas that sit untouched.

You’d value: -Support for having a life outside work; -Brilliant, boundary-pushing, and caring teammates who can help you go further than you will on your own; and -Stability (framework to follow, steady paycheck, and benefits).

Your 3-Step Plan to Land Your Dream Client #businesscoach #businessdevelopment #dreamclient #idealclient #relationship #smallbusiness #smallbusinessstrategy

I recently talked to an owner with 6 employees who's been piecemealing employee training and wants to take it up a notch. What he's been doing: - Videos on YouTube - Quick blurbs in Google docs - Printed copies of checklists What I told him he should do: - Videos on YouTube - Quick blurbs in Google docs - Printed copies of checklists There will be an employee count where this method no longer serves them well, probably 15-20 people. There will be too much information to quickly share with the right person at the right time. But for now, they're doing it right. Sophisticated software and systems can save you tons of time and brainpower...WHEN you actually need it Until then, just #writeitdown and share it. Keep it simple!

For our Small Business MBA spring semester, we are teaching (IRL!) a skillset that every business needs: Relational Business Development. This is an authentic, intentional process to proactively attract ideal clients to your business. Before enrollment opens, we have 6 questions to ensure we're customizing this course to give our clients and students the most impact, to move from new business reaction to new business attraction. If you're a (small) business owner, member of a team, or a solopreneur, we'd love your input. This survey takes <2 minutes. Thank you for sharing your needs and opinion!
