How to Design Your Marketing Materials to Get Better Results

May 9, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Have you wondered why you rarely get calls from your postcards, flyers, letters, ads and even follow up from your business cards? Usually it’s because the content of the piece (the marketing piece) wasn’t compelling enough. Most small businesses have no idea how to write, design or structure their print marketing materials. It’s not your fault, you’ve just never been taught. Creating marketing pieces that get results is a learned skill. I come from the advertising world and have done extensive training on how to structure print materials, ads and now even online promotions too (including what you write on your website!). The key to designing print materials that work … [Read more...]

To be vulnerable, or NOT to be vulnerable? THAT is the question…

April 25, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Guest Author: Anastasia Netri Many entrepreneurs wonder how much to share with their clients, and for good reason. If you’ve ever wondered how much of yourself to share, and how it affects your credibility, then this article will surely shed some light on this topic for you. When it comes to being authentic in your marketing and communication with your clients, you don’t have to share everything. Sometimes, it’s not in service of them to do so. It doesn’t mean you’re holding back if you don’t want to be public with everything. Private lives are okay! However, being a little edgy with your sharing can really help your clients to relate to you, to know that you … [Read more...]

Maximizing Your Money in Your Small Business

April 19, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

As a small business owner, what I've seen is that you typically could use more direct advice, feedback and training, specifically for YOUR business in order to know what to do and how to do it. You don't need huge group programs where you get lost in the shuffle. Regardless if they are less expensive, trust me, it's not the best route to go if you need to make money pretty quickly and you need to know where to focus to do that (i.e. marketing activities, website, etc.). Today I'm talking about How to Maximize Your Money When Growing Your Business in my New Video! I know you've got less money than ever to invest back in your business so you want to be very careful how you … [Read more...]

I’m pulling the curtain back – you want to read this

April 17, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I’m really tired of the hype that’s out there. I get frustrated that so many amazing entrepreneurs feel like they’re not measuring up to everyone else, playing the comparison game, and feeling bad about themselves. I want to set the record straight. I had told you a few days ago about an event like no other, that’s going to blow the curtain back and reveal what NO ONE else is showing you, so that you can stop comparing, and know what the “right track” to success REALLY looks like. We are re-defining success – in a way that you can actually relate to, and feel GOOD about. Anastasia Netri and Lisa Cherney have invited me to get really vulnerable and share some … [Read more...]

I’m taking it off, and have some raw stuff to share

April 12, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I’m so excited to let you in on something…outrageous, bold, and *slightly* vulnerable. First…let me ask you a couple of questions: Have you ever “compared” yourself to certain experts, or other entrepreneurs you know, and felt like everybody is “2 steps ahead”? Do you listen to people telling you how easy it is to grow a business, and wonder why it’s not that easy for you or what you’re “doing wrong”? I totally had those thoughts too. As a matter of fact, I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t thought that on occasion. You’re not alone, that’s for SURE. I’m so excited to be part of something…an event like no other, that’s going to blow the … [Read more...]

3 Sales Strategies to Incorporate Into Your Presentations or Speaking Gigs

April 10, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Speaking in front of an audience is often intimidating or scary. Some of us are more comfortable with it than others. Selling from the stage or in front of a room to a group is a different story though. You may be comfortable speaking and giving great content but are you making an offer or leading the audience to buy something or take an action of any kind? Often times we don’t do these things during our talks because we aren’t allowed to of course depending on the venue and type of event. But other times we are allowed to sell but still don’t or we just don’t do a very good job at it for one reason or another. Typically people who try to sell from the stage but aren’t … [Read more...]

March 21, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

If your website is NOT bringing you lots of quality leads EVERY MONTH, then you may want some advice on how to FIX it so your site does it's job. Your website should be designed, written and positioned to bring in leads and convert them successfully into paying customers consistently every month.
