As tools for small business owners to increase revenue and profits, the Yuloffs created a hybrid ‘Do-It-Yourself plus private coaching’ marketing mastermind program called The Small Business Marketing Plan and offer free coaching at HowToGetThereFaster.com

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS (and the answers) Updated 8/30/2023
These are provided so that you do not need to supply your own questions for the interview. This will help ensure the flow of the interview
- What are some of the biggest challenges you find businesses to have in their marketing?
They are so busy doing what they do, that they do not make the time to MARKET what they do.
It’s something everyone thinks they have a handle on but don’t realize how easy it is to mess it up.
- What is the first step every business should take in putting together their marketing plan?
You have to know who your clients are. That means demographically easy to recognize. This is a lot harder for most small business owners than they realize. Quite often they go after the easiest low hanging fruit, but that may not be the most profitable path to take.
2B – You’re in the trenches every day, working for small business owners… What was the biggest challenge your coaching clients had in the last year and, really, since 2020?
With the pandemic and recession of 2020, we were faced with the rapid speed up of some trends that had started years before. One was an increase in the trend for people working remotely. Another was something that happens during every recession, the increase in small businesses as people who lost their jobs looked for alternatives. As we get past the pandemic, those trends have continued.
- How do you solve that problem for them?
An in depth dive into where they have been, and where they want to take their company. It’s kind of our secret sauce.
- In reading your extended biography, you seem to have a soft spot for non-profit organizations… why is that?
We have to give back.
Most non-profits are run by volunteer boards who all run their own companies
They do the kind of work we all should be doing.
Sharyn has her masters in NP management
- I saw your book series. What are they all about?
The 8 of them are written to be a marketing class, or a social media class or a human resources class in a book where every student gets a guaranteed A. They are marketing text books for every entrepreneur who never took a marketing class. We use the books as the basis for the business breakthrough boot camps we put several times a year.
5b. In your two latest books you appear to be more narrow focused in the small business owners that you help. Was that planned?
Actually that is correct for one of the books. It’s called Partners in Everything: Your Guilde to Running a Successful Business Without Ruining Your Life. The idea of writing a book for couples in business together, whether they are married or just friends, was given to us by a friend who remarked we work together well. The challenge was, what we do, the way we run OUR business is not the same as every other couple. So we interviewed over a dozen other business units and gave everyone the same questions about challenges we have faced.
Now, the latest book The Marketing Checklist 4, Your Guide for Overwhelmed and Overthinking Entrepreneurs is more general than you would think. We were looking at our coaching business. Demographically, the six types of business owners we work with can be very different. But what they all shared, what they all have in common, is that there is a certain level of being overwhelmed with life and business. Quite often it is caused by overthinking everything OR…. overthinking things can lead to being in a state of Overwhelm.
- How did it come about?
We speak all over the United States and internationally to business groups of 20 to a couple thousand. We were speaking to a group of business owners about marketing tactics and afterwards, one of our clients who was in the audience asked if I had put all our marketing lessons into one place. We thought about it and since not every business owner can hire the best and most sought after targeted marketing tacticians in the country, we began writing.
- Do you have some marketing tips which will help our listeners?
A – When planning a marketing project, begin “with the end in mind.” Decide what you want it to accomplish, and work backwards.
B – The more different ways to market your business you use, the more successful you will be. Just like a roof needs lots of walls to keep it off the ground, your sales need lots of support efforts to continue to rise.
C – Let your clients interact with you the way THEY are comfortable. If they like emailing, let them. If they like texting you, let them. If they want to send you letters, let them. Whatever makes them most comfortable helps your relationship grow stronger.
D – Blogging is good. It allows your clients to get to know you and it helps search engines find you.
E – Social media is NOT a silver bullet in marketing. It is just one method of staying in contact with clients. Remember that the key word is SOCIAL. Be sociable and have some fun while occasionally slipping in a little bit of business.
F – When you find yourself overthinking or spinning out of control as evidenced by things like losing sleep, get focused on your goals. Break them down into small, simple steps. And give yourself the grace you deserve if you fall short on your goals.
- In your Small Business Breakthrough Bootcamps, you seem to stress the mastermind setting of small groups – what is that all about?
We add stories of how mastermind settings have helped our business and can help others.
- Do you have any special gifts for our listeners?
- So, What’s up next for you? How can people connect with you?
