Methodical. Intuitive. Strategic. Empowering.

Tips to Make the Most of YourAuthor emPact Strategy Session

While a lot can be accomplished in an hour, the most successful strategy sessions are those that are well thought through by the author based on their needs and marketing goals. Here are some tips to consider when considering and/or preparing for your session.

Reflect and Come Prepared

Reflect on your book marketing challenges and clearly identify the hurdles that you have met thus far in your efforts and/or could be potential challenges you’ll face. Be sure to share those with Stephanie prior to the call.

Have Clarity on Your Goal(s)

Identify up to 3 goals that you have for your book and/or business’ success. You may have already articulated your marketing goals, but if you haven’t consider the goals you have for your efforts as a whole. (This could align with book sales, business growth, etc.) Prioritize your goals. Typically, a 1-hour strategy session allows time for discussion around one goal, but have up to two additional goals on hand just in case time allows!

Know What You Want to Tackle

Have clarity on what you want to accomplish from the session. Are you wanting assistance in outlining a marketable book? Are you seeking book launch guidance? Do you have plans to leverage social media for ongoing promotion? Those who have clarity find the greatest success from this offering.

Know Your What You Need Help With Most

Don’t be afraid of acknowledging what you know and what you don’t know. You wrote a book (or are preparing to write one) and THAT is your zone of genius. Marketing may not be. And that’s okay! Let Stephanie know what your marketing strengths are and where you feel overwhelmed. She can (and will) help!

Be Open-Minded and Trust the Process

Stephanie has been in the industry for years and she has written several of her own books too. She understands where you are and she knows where you need to go. She will help you get there! And if there are additional opportunities to help you, she will share those, too, during and after your session.

A Strategy Session may be the right fit for you if:

You are a nonfiction author seeking sound marketing insights from someone who has been there and understands.
You are unsure what the first or next marketing step should be to tackle your goals.
You are seeking high-level as well as tangible and actionable book marketing advice.
You aren’t sure if you’d like to dive into a signature program offering and would like to get some advice now to take action on immediately.
You have specific marketing needs and would find insights from a seasoned professional valuable.
You have a book concept in your mind, a book ready to publish, a book in your hand or a business that you are looking to build or grow that aligns with your book’s message.

A strategy session may not be right for you if:

You are a fiction author seeking marketing advice (we focus on nonfiction, but would be happy to recommend others who may be able to help!).
You are not open to receiving marketing advice to support your book and business needs.
You haven’t written a book or don’t even have an idea kernel for a book idea.
You don’t believe in the power of marketing.
You know what you need and you know it will take longer than an hour to make it happen. (Don’t fret! We have other programs for these authors and we’d love to discuss if they are a good fit for you.)
You aren't worried about selling books or making a difference in the lives of others through your written words and derivative offerings.
