ACCOUNT – Step 3 in the Marketing & Mindsets Intentional Planning Process™ We’ll look at the results of the marketing tactics by the month and tweak if necessary. You’ll know the exact ROI on all your marketing activities. Keep in mind that it takes several months for results to be at the level we desire for some tactics; however, we will look at trends and make any changes necessary. Along with the data analysis we look at how the BE-DO-HAVE model has impacted your results. This is where you get to HAVE the energetic reality you desire, along with the physical results you want to achieve. If that’s not happening, we look at both physical and energetic realities.

You can integrate any of these into your intentional marketing plan. Creating Your Marketing Calendar We’ll plot the marketing activities on a calendar that will be reviewed every 90 days.

To be successful with marketing, we need an integrated plan that starts with strategy and includes the right tactics to implement the strategy.
