Marketing from the Heart with Mark Silver

“Many marketing, sales and business development strategies just feel gross! Whether it’s hype, manipulation, or just plain overwhelm, the heart either hurts trying to get it done, or just plain refuses to carry forward. Plus, many business development programs would have you max out your credit cards or dip into your retirement just to try to “shoot the moon.” Don’t do it! There really is a way to affordably develop your business with integrity and heart.” Mark Silver is the founder of Heart of Business, Inc. Since 2001, he’s been a pioneer in integrating spirituality and business, in a way that is effective and nourishing. He’s helped thousands of spiritually-oriented, heart-centred entrepreneurs feel really good while finding plenty of their best clients and making more money and he strongly believes that you really can have both: every act of business can be an act of love, and still be effective. We love this approach to business at Better Bolder Braver. For us, even pricing your product is a path to being compelled to get out there and do your thing - to be able to help (more) people and keep your business thriving and sustainable so that you can create even more gifting moments of generosity and change in the world. We will mainly be focussing in with Mark on being more effective with sales conversations, with integrity and with heart but we may also end up discussing another point of great interest to Mark - how to spot scammers and avoid spending way too much on business coaching... In mind of our approach to Ethical Marketing, the latter speaks to coaches in relation to continued professional development ourselves and also in how we might avoid toxic sales tactics when offering our own services. We love Mark’s approach to helping businesses in the following categories: You’re just starting out. You have a real passion for what you do, but you’re overwhelmed, or just uncertain, about how to get your business going. And the amount of money you need to bring in may seem far off or unreachable. You’ve been in business awhile, but it’s not easy. Despite having months, or years, (decades?) under your belt, it’s not gotten that much easier, and there still isn’t a predictable flow to how it all works. You’ve actually achieved some success, but it’s not sustainable. You feel like you’ve hit a limit in terms of energy and/or an income ceiling. Longed-for stability or ease seems just… out… of… reach. Your heart is not happy with what you think you need to do. … and we very much hope you will join us to explore them. There’ll be something for every one of you.
