Thanks to my podcast, newsletter, blog, LinkedIn posts, etc, I get marketing queries every week from companies and individuals running businesses in the HR sector.

The questions often revolve around this central question:

‘What should we do next?’

In Episode 119 of the A Better HR Business show, I share a simple 5-step process you can use to grow your HR business.

It makes sense.

There are so many options out there for people trying to grow their HR business.

These lead to questions such as:

  • Should we be running paid ads somewhere?
  • Do we need a blog?
  • What should we be posting on LinkedIn?
  • Which types of companies should we approach? Why are they ignoring us?
  • Should I write a book?
  • What about Google AdWords?
  • What should we say on our website?
  • Should we be making videos?
  • How should we send emails? Hubspot, Mailchimp, Active Campaign, something else? 
  • How do we decide what to offer?
  • What’s the right angle to take in sales meetings?
  • How do we get more clients?

Again, ‘What should we do next?‘

People often feel a little overwhelmed.

A Simple 5-Step Process To Follow

Here’s a simple 5-step process I use with my clients which are either: consulting firms, HR tech firms, or individual consultants, all within the wide HR sector.

  1. Get crystal clear on your ideal client types and make sure your services offerings are aligned so they are more appealing to your ideal clients. Find your business sweet spots. Nail down your sales messaging to use in all your sales and marketing.
  2. Identify your marketing preferences & roadblocks. Play to your strengths. Then select the best marketing methods for your business. This is different for every person and every business. Depends on your personality, your preferences, your budget, and your goals.
  3. Create your 90-Day Marketing Plan. Set out your plan in a clear one-page Gantt chart with specific goals and activities. One consultant I know credits her program of 90-Day Marketing Plans as being the main driver for her to rapidly racing from being a solo consultant to becoming a highly successful million-dollar+ consulting company with staff clients right across the US.
  4. If you plan to spend money, you’ll want create your marketing budget. This should be a clear, one-page spreadsheet tracking expected vs actual marketing spend.
  5. Work the plan and track your business goals & metrics. Start with the end in mind, right? What numbers do you want to achieve and how will you measure your progress? Set realistic targets and work towards them every day like clockwork.

One Size Does Not Fit All

Now, as I mentioned, one size does not fit all.

Not every marketing method is right for your business

You have an awful lot of options to choose from . . .

You shouldn’t do it all.
