"Being conservative and realistic, if I apply all this material in the next twelve months, it should double what I'd expect to earn."

“I went because I was curious, and I was open to whatever - from bored, irritated, disappointed, to pleasantly surprised. After attending, I feel delighted, enthusiastic, and more solidly optimistic.

It’s tough to choose the most valuable piece I pulled out of it - it was all valuable. But I think for the start-up of my business, it's most valuable to more closely identify my ideal clients, find out where they hang out, and speak to them.

How am I going to apply that to my business? Now I'm really thinking much more clearly about exactly who might need and want my services, can afford them, and would or could be motivated to use them.

The next step is to put myself in their shoes, and ponder how they would know to think about someone like me to help them, how they would go about finding me? And go there. And convince them that my services are what they need and want.

It was much more focused and straightforward than conventional training. The most noticable difference is that there was genuine excitement, from unexpectedly coming across something of real value.

There was no hype, no grandstanding, no lies. Plus, it was entertaining, while most marketing training is a bore, and/or revs you to exhaustion - this was energizing in a natural way.

Being conservative and realistic, if I apply all this material in the next twelve months, it should double what I'd expect to earn. I can't be more optimistic than that, because the next twelve months will test the basic premise of my business, that there is indeed the market for my service s indicated by my initial research.

I know from past experience that all these marketing principles are sound and essential, and if the business has a solid basis, the rewards could be far greater than double.

Any business person, at whatever level, if they are open to changing and growing, can benefit from Tad's marketing workshops. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Don't miss the opportunity.”

The Way of the Radical Business: spend three hours learning how you can attract more of the clients you want to your green, holistic, local or "conscious business" (without ever sacrificing your integrity or spending a fortune).
 
 
From: Tad Hargrave, founder, Radical Business
 
So, how do you sell your products and services without selling your soul?
 
How do you marketing 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 clients chasing you down instead of you chasing them? 
Too much marketing (even by savvy, conscious entrepreneurs) create either no response or seem “over-hyped” and trigger a “used car salesman” reaction.

My promise to you:
 
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.
 
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. 
 

is this event for you?

 
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.)
 
But regardless of where you fit I hope you will feel welcome to join us for this event.
 

If you can honestly answer “Yes!” to some of the following 10 questions, then this event may just be what the doctor ordered . . .

 
·      Are you needing to attract more clients?
 
·      Are you needing to 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.
 
·      Are you interested in the proven strategies used by other progressive entrepreneurs, holistic practitioners, and “green business” folk to successfully and sustainably grow their business without abandoning their deeply held values or giving up their unique, funky-vibe?
 
·      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 believe in what you’re offering with all your heart and soul. You built your business on relationships and trust, and don’t want to learn how to “sell” to people - but you’d love to attract new clients.
 
·      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?

“I have actually had more time with my family (and two small children) and my business IS MORE PRODUCTIVE!”
"I am more efficient because I have empowered the employees to be more self-sufficient (and more educated) and therefore not need me as much. They feel more comfortable, energized and personally involved in our success. (They are actually saying that to me!). You were open and honest and real. Not a “stuffy suit” guy! I really appreciate how laid-back, fresh and unaffected Tad is.”

“Down-to-earth, clear, and honest”
 
"The honesty and integrity in which Tad approaches marketing is inspiring. In the past I have been afraid of ‘selling myself’ or coming across as too pushy. The style of marketing that Tad presented is down-to-earth, clear, and honest. I highly recommend his seminar."

Alison Irwin, yoga instructor and massage therapist, Edmonton

“The most comprehensive marketing session I have ever witnessed”
 
“Thanks again for your charming, entertaining promo on Wednesday evening. You made that the most comprehensive marketing session I have ever witnessed (including my year as an RA for the business department on campus when everyone had something brilliant to say about their multi-million dollar company's marketing success).”
 
Randy Wood, Fairfield, Iowa

“You’re one of the most intuitive, natural, warm and innovative marketing coaches I know.”
 
I love you. You ARE the cutting edge. You push the envelope in so many directions at once . . . I mean, as far as I know, you’re one of the only marketing coaches in the North America who works exclusively with progressive, “green” and community-minded entrepreneurs (in terms of helping them increase their cash-flow and attract heaps of dream clients) . . . but you are certainly the only one who then goes even further to offer the bulk of his workshops, core-products and initial consultations on a Pay-What-You-Can Basis. And . . . You wear a kilt when you present. When I first heard the pay-what-you-can idea, I thought it was insane. You keep coming up with the craziest ideas. The wonderful thing is that they work. You’re a real gift to the conscious business community Tad. Thanks for all that you do.”

“In just a few hours I got enough DYNAMITE strategies and great ideas to last years”
 
"I have to be honest. I didn't think he could do much. Let's face it; he's still young. He knew nothing about our business; nothing about our industry. But Tad's an extremely bright and multi-talented guy whom I know from previous work, so I said yes. Wow! Imagine wanting to improve your basketball game and being offered lessons from a yet unknown kid named Michael Jordan. If you could see into the future, you'd do it, right? Well, I see the future . . .

Tad has a gift, and if you're smart you'll take it. His advice is so simple and powerful. And he's a fountain of universal principles and clever suggestions that all point towards dollar signs. In just a few hours I got enough dynamite strategies and great ideas to last years! Tad's thinking comes from way outside the box. We're trying things we might never have tried otherwise, and we're practically giddy with excitement. In just a few hours he helped create a brilliant new marketing campaign, while vastly improving our branding, how we work with our sales reps, and how we handle our tradeshows. 

I'm sure I'll be coming back to Tad for years to come. I can't afford not to. You probably can't either."

“I will never again ignore the importance of marketing”
 
“I attended a one-day marketing seminar given by Tad Hargrave with no prior inkling as to what I would gain from the experience. Now I consider the brief time spent with Tad to have been invaluable. For most of the past seventeen years my attitude toward marketing had been that it is of no value. 

I have a small food manufacturing business with approximately 80% share in the markets we serve. The little marketing that we have attempted in the past had never shown any bottom-line results.

Tad helped me to understand in a very short time that marketing is a responsibility. I had not understood that marketing was the primary way that I could keep my customers informed as to what we are about as a company and learn how to better serve our customers' needs.

I will never again ignore the importance of marketing. Now my next step is to understand how to use marketing skillfully as a tool to strengthen our relationships with our customers. I am appreciative to Tad for his continuing desire to help in this regard. Since the seminar, he has sent a number of very informative messages with lots of good advice.
 
He is a brilliant young man with many years of experience packed into a very short period of time.

I encourage anyone considering hiring Tad as a consultant or attending one of his seminars to take the initial step. Your enthusiasm for what Tad has to offer will very likely take you much farther along than you expected at the start, just like it has done for me."

“More valuable than any other business related conference I can remember.”

“My wife had talked quite a bit about you after she saw you speak at the Eco Fair. Despite the high expectations brought about by her enthusiasm I was still amazed by the volume of material, how well it was organized and how valuable I believe it will be.
 
I was thoroughly impressed by the way you ended the seminar giving us practical ways to put the material in action right away. Your insights into both marketing and teaching are amazing for such a young man.
 
The most valuable distinction for me was making the problem you will solve as your headline for any marketing. Designing all presentations around presenting the problem and offering the solution.

What is unique about you and the way you do business? Where to start? I got insights and practical guidelines about marketing a small business I have not come across anywhere else. This event was more fun, more personal and more valuable than any other business related conference I can remember.

If I really apply this material I should increase my profits by 50% in the next year.
 
I do not exaggerate. I am very happy.”
