How to Make More Money, Easily and Consistently in Your

Passion and Purpose-filled Business

Cari Vollmer , "The Passions into Profit Mentor"

Founder, LifeOnTrack.com

In this high-content, high-value 30-minute teleclass Cari will share with you key strategies for turning your passions and purpose into more freedom and profit! 

  • Have you created a business around your passions and purpose and now wonder how you're going to earn a sustainable income from it?
  • Are you tired of feeling like a wallflower in your area of expertise?
  • Would you like to attract new clients and make more money?

Cari comes to her path of passion and profit naturally.  Her parents were successful restaurateurs for more than 20 years, she helped her husband launch his own successful small business over a decade ago, and her grandmother wrote children's books back in the day when women were more apt to be in the kitchen cooking than honoring their passions.  Yes, she's come to this path of passion naturally, but if you don't that's OK, that's what she's here for!  She knows from first-hand, in the trenches experience what you must know and do to launch and then run a successful small business that's also a reflection of your passions and divine life's purpose.  It's not rocket science, and you can do it!

Sales? YUK!

Do what you need to do to grow your business with the "YUK" factor.


Pat Schuler, Founder

Kick Butt Sales Training

Don't miss this call if you want to leave with:

1. Certainty that you can comfortably ask for the business.

2. KNOW there's no chance your contact will think you're PUSHY.

Stop letting the "YUK" factor get in your way and minimize your bottom line. 

I used to say “I’d rather have a root canal than market my business”.  Then I created Marketing On The Playground for the solo-professional.  Now I hear, “You are a Marketing Queen” because I discovered how to market MY WAY.  However, after years of enjoying my marketing with OK results it hit me that the idea of SELLING, was hindering a better income stream.   After I worked with Pat, my clients and participants continue to increase with ease because I’ve redefined sales as I have redefined marketing…to fit MY comfort zone. In other words, when my ‘comfort’ increased, so did my bottom line.

Her company, the Gemini Resources Group, delivers the Kick Butt Sales Training program as well as strategic and tactical consulting to sales executives ranging from the smallest businesses to Fortune 500 clients.

Pat's approach combines a unique blend of "hard skills" training, mission critical "inner game" skills, and ongoing individualized coaching to deliver kick-butt bottom-line business results. "It's martial arts for business growth," remarked one of her long-term  clients. "So much of this I've never seen taught anywhere else."

Pat's clients consistently see revenue increases of at least 37% while working fewer hours and retaining their sanity. (Yes I know. That last one is a lot to promise.). Most clients begin seeing results in as little as 30-45 days.

 

Sales Training: Work from confidence and power, with respect for your client and yourself, without being PUSHY 70% - 80% of small businesses close their doors because the responsible people are either unable to untilling to sell and market themselves.  Let's make sure it doesn't happen to you.
