The Marketing Tips for Your Group of Team Program provides more than a dozen practical, actionable tips and a dozen worksheets to support you in getting “voices on the line" and “bums in the seat".

Group program success relies on you being able to bring a group together so marketing is just as important as a good design. That's why this program zooms into marketing, while design and implementation tips are covered in a separate program I offer here at Udemy in the 28 Tips for Your Group and Team Programs.

Group and team programs are a valuable way to scale your impact and reach, while increasing revenue. The 2012 Global Coaching Survey from the International Coach Federation found that 94 % of coaches said they offer 1 or more services in addition to coaching. On average coaches offer almost three additional services on top of coaching. Services include: Consulting (62%), Training (60%), Facilitation (50%), Mentoring (34%), Teaching (29%). Many of these require marketing skills to bring larger groups of people together at one time.

The Marketing Tips for Your Group and Team programs course addresses 7 key success areas for marketing, along with 9 tactical tips for filling your group and team programs. We also explore five promotional strategies commonly used to spread the word about programs and build your platform – networking, blogging, article writing, speaking and social media.
