Simplify.
SMALL BUSINESS “FLIGHT PLAN” COACHING
CEOs of nonprofits and small businesses live close to the bone. If you can’t boost revenue, you wither on the vine. Yet, unlike large corporations, you don’t have large budgets that allow for inefficiencies and mistakes.
That’s why The Ashford Agency offers a simple system of frameworks and playbooks that optimize your nonprofit or small business for visibility and revenue. So you can create simplicity, predictability, and reliability in your day-to-day operations.
Certified in Business Made Simple’s “Small Business Flight Plan®” and drawing upon decades of experience, we offer 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and workshops to help you professionalize your operation in six categories—leadership, marketing, sales, product optimization, operations, and cash flow.
Clarify.
“STORYBRAND” MARKETING & SALES
We have yet to meet a small business or nonprofit that doesn’t struggle with its marketing and messaging. Many organizations have wasted money repeatedly on paid marketing campaigns that don’t deliver. What was intended as a wise investment turned out to be a significant cost.
That’s why The Ashford Agency works with you to clarify your message and apply it effectively to every aspect of your marketing and communications constellation—website, lead generators, email campaigns, social media, public talks, and more. By building a powerfully effective in-house sale funnel and marketing strategy, you make money in your sleep.
Drawing upon decades of media and marketing experience and the Storybrand Marketing framework, we offer 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and workshops to help you build a marketing and sales strategy in which “the customer is the hero.”
Create.
CONTENT CREATION
Most CEOs understand that content marketing is powerfully effective. Without it, you are forced to rely on blunt-force marketing tactics that are more likely to annoy your audience than spur them to action. Yet, your staff isn’t able to create all of the content necessary for success.
That's why we offer full-service writing for your nonprofit or small business. By continuously providing valuable insights and solutions to your target audience, you nurture your relationship with them, enhance your brand, build your subscription database, boost your social media, and increase your web traffic.
With decades of experience as an author, speaker, and ghostwriter, we offer full-service writing for websites, print books, e-books, lead generators, press releases, public talks, white papers, and more. So that your target audience leans in rather than tunes out.
Elevate.
UNREASONABLE HOSPITALITY “COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE” COACHING
Every nonprofit or small business struggles to find or keep a “competitive advantage.” That’s because, no matter how valuable your product or service is, there is always a competitor who could offer something better or something similar for a better price.
That’s why we offer a proven formula for making “customer service” your competitive advantage. By transforming how you deliver your products or services, you elevate customer loyalty, retention, brand reputation, and, ultimately, profitability.
Certified in the Unreasonable Hospitality® system created by award-winning entrepreneur Will Guidara, we offer 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and workshops to help you build unforgettable customer experiences that lead to increased sales and a more stable customer base.
