			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PMI has helped entrepreneurs and small business owners successfully manage and profitably grow their companies for over two decades. Our dual approach provides professional development for the business owner and business development for the organization to equip and position our clients for unprecedented growth. We focus on business drivers that encompass the organizations’ mission, functional requirements, management methods and growth objectives to allow small business owners to flourish in their required roles as the company entrepreneur, manager, technician and investor.
</p>
<p><span id="more-147"></span></p>
<p>
Coaching services target the various competencies that determine profitable growth including strategic planning, process improvements, revenue generation, technology, marketing, sales, customer service and even improved work/life balance.
</p>
<p>
Coaching services are customized to meet the needs of each client. That said services normally include business assessments, needs analysis and dialog to clarify needs, wants, strengths, weaknesses and overall business objectives. Once established, we create a compelling strategy and action plan that is supported by training. Additional steps in the process could include:
</p>
<ul>

<li>Defining your role and priorities as a highly-effective business owner; </li>
<li>Researching &#8220;fact-based&#8221; business options to optimize your interests, skills and abilities, geographic preferences, industry trends, and compensation/revenue requirements; </li>
<li>Incorporating business strategies that will increase sales while elevating customer value and loyalty;
<li>Developing action steps which would include strategic planning, evaluation and identification of collaborations, highly effective marketing tools and branding messages, appropriate introductions and resources and skill based training as needed.; </li>
<li>Implementation support and accountability </li>
<li>Goal setting with outcomes that allow you to measure progress. </li>
</ul>

<p>
INVESTMENT OPTIONS<br />
Monthly<br />
The coaching investment is $750 per month with a three month minimum
</p>
<p>
Three-Month Collaboration<br />
Coaching is a process as is business development.  I offer a 10% discount when clients pay in full in advance- a $225 Savings!
</p>
<p>
Annual Retainer  (Best Value!)<br />
For those looking to achieve greater professional and/or business success supported by true work-life balance, An ANNUAL BREAKTHROUGH RETAINER agreement is your best approach. We work on “escalating goals” that grow and influence the change required to create your ideal life while growing out your business. It is also the most cost effective approach. You pay a monthly fee of $500 for unlimited contact to Jeannette that includes specialized training, resources, research, referrals and introductions.
</p>
<p>
 My services also come with a complete guarantee.<br />
If you do not find value in my services, I am happy to refund your investment in full.
</p>
<p>
No matter what service is required, this rule holds true&#8211; an effective coaching partnership requires a good &#8220;fit&#8221; between a coach and client, as well as a commitment to invest time, effort and honesty into the process. My coaching style combines training, consulting and mentoring elements with a strong results orientation. I only take on clients who are committed to following through with the required work and open to change.
</p>
<p>
Whether you have experienced coaching before or not, the best way to determine if a coaching partnership will be effective for you is to participate in an evaluation interview. This is a complementary session that gives us a chance to discuss your objectives, consider possible changes or goals you want to set, and determine how committed you are to doing what is required. If we both agree that it&#8217;s right, we&#8217;ll determine next steps and get to work. If it&#8217;s not a good fit, we&#8217;ll do our best to direct you to other resources that better meet your needs.
