I want to invite you to come and join us for the “Marketing 101 for Local and Green Businesses”.


It’s a three hour long , content-rich, roll-up your sleeves, nuts and bolts workshop.  It's all about how you can grow your business and attract all of the right kinds of clients. But instead of paying upfront, you pay whatever you want to pay on a sliding scale of $1-40 (at the very end of the workshop).

 

Seriously. This is a pay-what-you-want workshop (based on what you can afford). No big catch.

 
Since 2001, I have traveled around North America working with conscious entrepreneurs just like you. Some successful, others struggling. And I've gathered quite the assortment of success stories and strategies right from the horses mouth.

This three hour workshop is my best distillation and collection of those practices and stories (some of them are pretty funny).
 

In general, here's who "The Way of the Radical Business" is for . . .

  • Perhaps you are selling a natural, eco-friendly, cruelty-free or otherwise healthy product . . .
  • Or you’re in the Healing Arts or a Holistic Practitioner? (perhaps you’re a Therapist, Massage Therapist or Body-worker, Yoga Instructor, Herbalist, Shamanic Practitioner, Life-Coach, Meditation Teacher etc.) . . .
  • Are you a local business owner that just plain cares deeply about your community, nature and social justice? (maybe you run a Yoga Studio, Eco-Friendly House Cleaning company, an Organic Farm, a local Theater Company, a Fitness Studio, a comfy, little locally owned Bookstore, a groovy local Restaurant, an Eco-Store, a Pottery shop or a Natural Health-Food Stores etc.)



At its heart, this workshop is all about exploring the question . . .


"How can you sell your products and services
without selling your soul?"

 
 

Too much marketing (even by savvy, conscious entrepreneurs) creates either no response or seems “over-hyped” and triggers a “used car salesman” reaction. So . . .


How do you market your products without compromising your principles? How can you make sure your marketing gets a positive response and creates warm feelings of trust? Better yet - how do you have your ideal client chasing YOU down, instead of you chasing them?



Please join us and:
 
    • get an overview of the most cutting edge, low or no cost, pressure-free marketing strategies used by the most thriving green and conscious businesses around North America today to successfully and sustainably grow their business (without abandoning their deeply held values or giving up their unique, funky-vibe)
    • network with like minded, local entrepreneurs
    • get answers to your marketing questions
    • learn a bit about The Radical Business Intensive - one of North America’s leading marketing workshops for progressive entrepreneurs (and learn how you can attend it for - and this is the truth - whatever you want to pay).

    If you can honestly answer “Yes!” to some of the following questions, then this event may just be what the doctor ordered . . .
     
    • Are you needing to attract more clients and increase your cash flow (and quick!)?
    • Are you good at what you do but you don’t LOVE the thought of marketing?
    • Is the following statement true?: You know that if you could really articulate what you do to enough of the right people you’d have more than enough clients.
    • Do you suspect that you are undercharging? Do you feel like what you’re offering is worth much more than what you are charging but you don’t know how to ask for more money? You might be trapped in a win/lose game. You lose and your clients win.
    • Have you been secretly "intending" to give your marketing more time and focus . . . but uhhh . . .  just haven't seemed to get around to it? Do you want to take the next step in your marketing but you aren’t sure where or how to start and you want someone just to say, “Here, do this first.”
    • Do you want to market more but are secretly terrified of seeming “pushy” or coming across like a salesperson? Do you find yourself wondering, “How do I effectively sell my products without compromising my principles? How do I actually sell my services without selling my soul? How do I expand my business in a way that doesn’t feel forced?” You're flat out never going to to use the manipulative and high pressure tactics that feels so awful to you. But . . . what do you do instead?
    • Ever mail a promotion that got little or NO response? Do you suspect that no one’s reading your ads? Are you spending a lot of money just to get your name "out there" and have come to the conclusion that “Advertising doesn’t work.”  Do you feel like you’re throwing your hard earned money down the toilet?
    • Do you know that you need to have a customer or prospect database but still haven’t gotten around to it? Is your customers contact info still on scraps of paper in the corner of your office? You secretly know (and try to hide the fact) that your business is all over the place. It doesn't run efficiently, effectively or smoothly.

    My three promises to you:
     
    • NOT A PITCH FEST: This event is not going to be some ra-ra, hype filled, high pressure pitch-fest for my weekend training or to hire me personally. I find that sort of selling to be distasteful at best. I will spend 10-15 minutes at the end talking about the upcoming Radical Business Intensive but that’s about it. I find that after the three hours most people know whether or not it’s a fit and I trust that. Your time is valuable.
    • SOLID CONTENT: This evening is all about you getting practical, take-home value for your time. I do everything I can to make sure that your evening is well used, fun, enjoyable and refreshing. My hope is that you leave feeling more energized, renewed and clear about your marketing than when you came in.
    • FREE VALUE BEFORE YOU SHOW UP: My commitment is that our first interaction is one that benefits you. So, not only is this workshop 100% pay-what-you-want (at the very end) but I would like to make it even more absurdly fair for you. I want to help you profit before you pay. To that end, I am giving you totally free and open access to over $49 worth of ten of my best best profit-producing, business-building materials. You can go and download them right now and start benefiting from them immediately.


    Four Important (Entirely Self Serving) Reasons Why I'm Giving You The Store . . .


    Why am I doing this? There are a lot of reasons of course - wanting to support good people like you, see the expansion of more conscious businesses etc. But let me speak to my own self interest here.

    • The more money you make before you show up, the more money you can pay me. If you start applying these techniques right now and make few hundred dollars from them I think you'll feel better about paying me a bit more.
    • If you love these materials, you're more likely to tell your friends about the workshop.
    • If you love these materials, I think you'll be even more excited about the workshop for yourself and bring that positive energy to the day. You'll feel really good about the decision you made to risk spending a whole day with me.
    • There are worse things than having a reputation for being obscenely generous . . .

    What to Bring:

    • pen & paper,
    • promo materials, business cards, & brochures - there might be time for me to look at some of them and give some thoughts and reflections.
    • money - your cheque book and or cash.


    So, that’s it. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at tad@marketingforhippies.com otherwise I hope to see you there.

    warmest,

    Tad Hargrave
