Please answer these ten easy questions:
Are you a Small Business Owner, Freelancer, Entrepreneur or other Professional (BOFEP)?

Do you wish you could motivate people to be as excited as you about your vision and ideas?
Do you wish you could negotiate better deals?
Do you wish you could increase your social media engagement?
Do you ever wonder how some people just 'have it' on the business-networking floor?

Do you wish that people always said YES?
If you can answer YES to at least five of these questions, then this course is designed for you, and it is my mission that by the end of this course, people will always say YES to you.
By the end of this course, you will learn 32 marketing psychology concepts and be able to apply them to you and your business. I take marketing psychology concepts one step further by applying them from the inside out: to your personal brand, your business brand, your customers, and leads. Everything flows from your personal brand and the decisions you make are from your unconscious with is 95% of your mind. We need to tap into your mind first to be more successful when tapping into the minds of others.
Why should you do this course? It's called inside out because our personal brand is as important as our business brand when attracting new customers. If we say one thing and our business says something different, we will come across as fake. It will give you more confidence in building relationships. I teach marketing psychology to help you become irresistible!
Once you have enrolled in this course, you will be able to download SUPERPOWER questions to tap into your customers and leads. You will have instructions to explain how to get the most out of your SUPERPOWER session!
There are lots of lectures in this course. Free to skip through and complete the courses which are of most interest to you. If you are new to Udemy, keep the same link, email address handy which you can use to log in anytime, and you will land on the place you previously left.
Throughout this thought-based course, I give equal priority to offline and online marketing because offline is as important as online. This course has been written during the Covid-19 pandemic, and therefore it will give you a huge competitive advantage as we navigate through and beyond these difficult times.
I've been teaching for The Chartered Institute of Marketing L3 and L4 for several years and have received commendations for teaching and results achieved by students. I've also been delivering training workshops for as long as I can remember, and I have listed a few testimonials at the end of this intro.
I'm qualified to Postgraduate (Masters) Level 7 in both Marketing and Executive Coaching/Mentoring. I'm a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management. This means that everything you are learning is the latest, essential information for marketing and managing your business. I've been running my own marketing business for 20 years working with businesses like Suzuki GB Plc, Stagecoach Bus Group Plc, McLaren Automotive, Mind charity, and lots of small businesses and consultancies too. Before setting up in business, I worked with lots of consultancies. I decided to take my 30 years of marketing experience and share it with the world on Udemy.
The course is crammed with resources, case studies, templates, and extra reading – from the world's leading businesses through to a few of my own personal stories to demonstrate how the marketing psychology techniques work. I have also created a private Facebook Group for students to swap stories and progress. I will be sharing further examples and templates on this group, so everyone can continue growing.
During this course, the word 'customer' is an umbrella term for anyone you currently have a relationship with. These include real customers, business partners, your boss, employees, and other stakeholders – anyone you want to motivate, inspire and persuade taking YOUR desired action.
When I refer to the word 'lead' throughout the course, this includes anyone you don't currently have a relationship with. You want to motivate, inspire and persuade them to become customers, so these can be businesses you don't have a relationship with and are at the top of your marketing funnel. Leads can also be people you meet in networking and would like to be part of your team.
Finally, each concept has an assignment for you to apply your learning to your business, which will transform insights to wisdom. What more can I say? I hope your journey makes you as excited as me about this fascinating topic. I am confident that you will notice huge differences in your personal and professional life. Enjoy!
