Although Firejuice is not exclusively a marketing coaching business, we’ve helped many internal marketers lift their game. Marketing is the lifeblood of any successful business, but for many privately owned companies, the in-house expertise to navigate its complexities might be lacking. Outsourcing all your marketing efforts isn’t always the answer, and many training courses are too generic, making coaching ideal for employees who want to succeed at work.
Why choose marketing coaching
Marketing coaching acts as a bridge, connecting your in-house marketing team with the specialised knowledge and expertise required to execute campaigns effectively. It’s a cost-effective alternative to completely outsourcing your marketing, allowing you to retain control over your strategies while benefiting from expert guidance. At Firejuice, our marketing coaching package empowers your internal marketing team, enhances their skills, and improves your marketing results, helping your business achieve its full potential.
Here’s how our marketing coaching services help privately owned companies improve their marketing approach:
Reviewing and refining your marketing plans
Whether you have an existing marketing plan that needs a refresh or you’re starting from scratch, our coaches will work closely with your team to clarify your goals, identify your target audience, and craft a plan that aligns with your business objectives.
Setting SMART marketing objectives
We’ll help you establish both short-term and long-term marketing objectives that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). This approach ensures your marketing efforts are focused and results-oriented.
Developing current and future marketing strategies
A well-defined marketing plan is the foundation for success. We’ll guide your team through the process of creating a comprehensive marketing plan that outlines your key strategies, tactics, and timelines.
Briefing and managing marketing suppliers
Navigating the world of marketing suppliers can be challenging. Our coaches will help you develop clear briefs, manage supplier relationships, and ensure you get the most out of your marketing investments.
Transferring marketing knowledge to your team
Our goal isn’t just to provide guidance – it’s to empower your team with the knowledge and skills they need to become self-sufficient marketers. We’ll share best practices, provide hands-on training, and help you develop the confidence to execute your marketing plans effectively.
Tracking and measuring your success
We’ll help you establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and implement tracking mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. This allows you to make data-driven decisions and continuously optimize your strategies.
Careful when choosing a marketing coaching business
Not all marketing coaching businesses are created equal. Many coaches, unfortunately, tend to take over your marketing efforts instead of empowering your internal marketer. A good marketing coach, on the other hand, focuses on both the immediate tactics and the long-term strategic foundations, helping your team set a clear marketing strategy and implement the right processes for sustainable success. Their goal is to set your marketer up for success, eventually making themselves redundant by transferring their knowledge and expertise. Remember, a good marketing coach doesn’t do the work for you; they provide guidance, act as a sounding board, and offer perspective on your learnings, allowing you to dictate the pace of the engagement and truly own your marketing journey.
