They chat about how businesses can map out clear plans for marketing and communication, share how their consulting services have evolved, and stress the importance of truly understanding client needs.
The episode covers how their strategy sessions are structured, from identifying roadblocks to setting goals and exploring tools that can help bring those plans to life. Vivian and Machaela also discuss the value of leadership being on the same page with organizational goals, surprising takeaways from roadmap sessions, and what defining success really looks like.
They touch on how business coaching fits into marketing strategies, describe the types of clients who get the most out of roadmap sessions, and explain why follow-up support is key. Plus, they break down common mistakes in marketing strategies and share tips for businesses that might not be ready for a full-blown roadmap just yet.
