Why choose to work with a Marketing Mentor?

There are a number of reasons why you might choose to work with a marketing mentor, including helping with:

• Career growth

• Personal development

• Business success

The 1:1 Mentoring aims to provide a personal experience focusing on the needs and objectives of our customers, ensuring that each one is fully understood by everyone involved, that they are planned for, and finally that each objective is achieved.

Whether you are starting out for the first time, or have a well-established business, our 1:1 sessions are designed to help you and your colleagues make sense of how different marketing tools and approaches can make a significant difference to the success of your business.

Our Mentoring is run by CIM-approved Mentors who will work around your life commitments.

Why Marketing Mentoring Works:

• Studies show that professionals who work with a mentor are statistically proven to earn more than 75% of executives interviewed, said that mentoring had played a key role in their careers

• You will receive independent advice relating to your goal expectations and business plans, from an experienced person who is not emotionally connected to your business or its competitors

• Mentoring will help to develop the capabilities and skills that are needed to succeed in a dynamic economy

• It will also help you to identify your individual strengths and find the best way to use these strengths in your business.
