Marketing Boot Camp, hosted by Jay Lipe of Emerge Marketing LLC, is a 12-week group coaching program for entrepreneurs, small business marketers, and service professionals. The next group will begin meeting the week of January 28, 2008.

How it works:

At the heart of the program are 12 teleconference sessions with all group members on the line. Each session lasts 90 minutes and is conducted by Jay. Between each session, group members complete homework assignments and circulate them to Jay and the rest of the group. Members' homework is aided by a 70-page marketing workbook filled with tips, checklists and exercises.

Who it's for:

Marketing Boot Camp is designed for entrepreneurs who have trouble implementing their marketing, so a big part of the 12-week curriculum is rolling out your marketing plan. This is a marketing group that’s all about doing. The group is a good fit for:

     • Service professionals without a marketing background, whose
        businesses have been open for more than one year.
     • Freelancers and solo entrepreneurs.
     • Independent service professionals.
     • People who are responsible for marketing their own companies.
