Tips Booklet Accents Communication for Service-based Businesses

April 21, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Fourteen experts collaborated to publish Communicating for Profit – 70 Tips for Coaches, Consultants, and Service-based Businesses, a tips booklet launched this month.

Mary Ellen Merrigan, one of the participants, offers Simplify Marketing in Five Easy Steps. She plans to use the booklet as a bonus product for her consulting practice.

In discussing the booklet, she emphasized the importance of bite-sized information for solopreneurs in particular.

“Most service-based businesses live in overwhelm. The urgencies of day-to-day deadlines prevent them from concentrating on the important, long-term development issues. A harried person will read one tip; tackling an entire book takes too much of a commitment.”

 “Communicating for Profit offers realistic ideas,” Mary Ellen adds. “If you feel stuck, read one of these tips and act. You’ll move.”

From improving a website to leveraging case-studies, writing faster to making each phone call count, the Tips Booklet offers suggestions anyone can leverage to profit.

In true social media style, Mary Ellen discovered the booklet opportunity through a LinkedIn message from fellow participant Casey Hibbard, a case-study expert. Hibbard, author of Stories That Sell, first collaborated with Mary Ellen in a 10-year anniversary project for the Santa Fe Business Incubator.
