What is a professional service business?
A service business is a business, company or it could be an executive working as an agent of a company whose income is derived by the sale of knowledge, skills, experience, or information. Some service businesses also sell products. Service businesses range in size with zero to hundreds of thousands of employees.
They also go by other names such as "trusted advisors", "agents", "principals", "service professional" and "independent service professionals."

What's a B2B?
It's a business, company or an executive at a company whose income is derived primarily from working with other business owners and high level executives. Like a CPA who does Asset Management, or a Financial Planner whose main clients are business owners. Some B2Bs are also service professionals but it's not necessarily true. For example an executive who sells promotional items to business owners sells a product. So they are not a professional service business but are a B2Bs.
How do I start the process of getting help from Elevating Your Business?
First become familiar with our site, including our About You section. Then submit your contact information on our Free Consultation form Maria will receive a copy of your form and privately review it. Based on the information you submitted regarding the best day and time to contact you, she'll email you tentative dates. Once you've confirmed, she'll send you a Confirmation email.
Why eMail Coaching, too?
As you implement the ideas and strategies we talk about during our phone sessions, you are going to come up with other questions, or you may want me to critique something you're working on, or just give you my opinion on something. Well, I'll be just an eMail away where I can support you. Need something ASAP? Put RUSH in the subject line, otherwise I'll get back to you within 24 hours during the week.
I don't live near you. How would I work with you?
Years of results have proven that meeting in person is not mandatory. I have years of experience working with clients I've only met when I drive across the county! I do meet with clients throughout the entire Puget Sound area and conduct one-day business building clinics, too. And I've had clients from Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, and England.
Most often, my clients send me a photo, which makes our working together a bit more personal and I'm all for that. And you know what I look like from viewing the top of this website.
Additionally I am travel to clients locations by plane, car and train to conduct business plan classes, conduct retreats or conferences. And I conduct all sorts of training's via virtual workshops and webinars.
Do you work with those of us in manufacturing, MLM, or who own products?
In the past, we have worked with all three business types. At a minimum we can help each sector craft a business and marketing plan as well as create an Internet presence. If you feel that the things you've read on this website pertain to you, contact us. We'll provide you with a free 20 minute consultation to see if we're a good match. Nothing for you to loose that way, and everything to gain!
