The 90-Day Challenge represents our group coaching programs — one for job seekers; and one for entrepreneurs. Why 90 days? Caroline blogged on Forbes.com about why a 90-day job search is ideal: if you budget more time than this, you won’t have the urgency to power through, and if you budget less, you won’t get traction and may give up before results have a chance to materialize. Similarly, businesses manage their financials quarter-by-quarter to give them a short-enough time frame to react but a long-enough time frame to plan for measurable results.
Our current 90-Day Challenge (for job seekers) is in progress, and the feedback is strong!
I loved our call, I learned a lot by listening to other people’s questions!… This [comments on the 1-minute networking pitch] is great and very specific feedback. – N.G., finance operations
Thanks also for a productive call yesterday to kick off the 90 day challenge. I really like that you gave each of us individual homework!! So excellent, and a level of personalization I was not expecting in this format. – C.W., credit card marketing
In the meantime, we are organizing two new groups for the spring:
- Starting April 30: The 90-Day Challenge for Entrepreneurs, led by Caroline Ceniza-Levine, focusing on business development and sales.
- Starting May 3: The 90-Day Challenge for Job Seekers, led by Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, focusing on job search
Starting April 30: The 90-Day Challenge for Entrepreneurs
In the 90-Day Challenge for Entrepreneurs, we focus on business development and sales. This group is for you if you own your own business, or you are an executive with P&L or revenue targets. In this group, you will learn:
- How to talk about what you offer in a way that’s memorable and repeatable (so people can actually remember you and refer you to others)
- How to structure your time to emphasize immediate and long-term revenue opportunities
- How to tap your network for sales leads without making either of you uncomfortable
- How to develop publicity opportunities and media contacts
- How to create multiple revenue streams and passive income opportunities
- How to get unstuck and recover from setbacks, whether it’s a shaky sales presentation or a disappointing revenue quarter.
The 90-Day Challenge for Entrepreneurs is structured as a series of regular, virtual interactions over 90 days, so you have ongoing support and accountability and you can coach in the comfort and privacy of wherever you’d like. The 90-Day Challenge for Executives and Entrepreneurs includes:
- 6 content calls led by Caroline Ceniza-Levine on the above topics of pitching; time management; networking for sales; publicity and media; leveraged income streams; and resilience. Calls will include specific strategies and examples of successful executives and entrepreneurs, including Caroline and Connie’s journey growing SixFigureStart to 6x revenues in 4 years;
- 6 open coaching calls featuring your questions. These calls will be for open Q&A to continue the learning from the content calls and to give you coaching specific to your challenges and questions. Calls will be led primarily by Caroline Ceniza-Levine with guest appearances by experts in networking, sales, and business-building;
- Recordings of all calls so you can reference them again and again, and so you will never miss a call;
- Recording and analysis of your sales pitch. We record your pitch and forward it to you as a wav file with customized feedback and suggestions.
- A written analysis of your business strategy. You will receive our proprietary Business Intake Form, and Caroline Ceniza-Levine will personally review your responses and give customized feedback and recommendations.
The next 90-Day Challenge for Entrepreneurs starts Monday, April 30, 8p ET. The investment for the group is $597 for the full program. Register by March 31, and save $100 – $497 for the full program.
