simple yet effective
Are you planning to launch or have you recently launched a small business? Do you have a great product or service that you know is going to make a difference in the lives of your customers… as soon as you figure out how to get them to purchase from you?
As a business owner getting your offerings into the hands of your clients and customers is one of the most important functions of your role. Marketing is not a task that should be approached haphazardly with random and inconsistent efforts. You have to approach marketing strategically or else you run the risk of wasting a lot of time and a whole lot of money.
Creating a strategy does not have to be hard and does not have to be expensive. However, if you don’t know what you are doing you will waste time presenting the wrong message to the wrong people at the wrong time. You will make random posts on social media that do not drive sales. You will over discount everything and comprise the values of your business because you are desperate to gain sales.
This is why I created the Simply Marketing Action Plan. It is a fill-in-the-blank digital workbook that will guide you step-by-step to creating an actionable marketing plan. In this plan you will identify your true target market, craft your unique marketing message, identify the best strategies to advertise your business and set value based pricing to help you meet your small business goals.
*For a limited time your purchase includes a print copy of the book, a digital copy of the book, and entrance to a live virtual workshop. The live workshop includes training on the workbook modules, Q&A, and time to work on your plan.
$167 includes a digital copy of the workbook, a print copy of the workbook and access to a live 2-hour virtual workshop to work on your plan.
Here is what’s included:
Module #1 Mindset Plan
In this module, you will start with the most important tool in your business toolbox – your mindset. You will take inventory of your fears and aspirations and develop a plan to ensure you have the support to succeed.
Module #2 – Money Plan
In this module, you will assess your financial needs in order to set revenue goals for your business. You need to take inventory of your debt, household bills, personal responsibilities, and overall financial goals.
Module #3 – Client Plan
All of the marketing in your business centers around the people you were called to serve. You must know them very well. In this module, we will dig deep into the who, what, why, where, and how of identifying your ideal customers.
Module #4 – Messaging Plan
Once you identify your ideal clients you need to craft a message that speaks directly to them. Your messaging is critical to your marketing and you only have a few seconds to capture their attention and drive them to action.
Module #5 – Pricing Plan
Pricing is something nearly every entrepreneur gets wrong. You either charge too much or too little. In this module, I’ll walk you through the process of counting all of the costs associated with creating your offerings and how to have the confidence to charge based on value.
Module #6 – Marketing Plan
In this module, you will determine the benefits and features of your offerings, create your sales funnel and process, assess your competitors, select the right strategies for your unique company, and learn to track your results.
Module #7 – Service Plan
Customer service cannot be an afterthought. In this module, you will create a detailed customer service plan that will allow you to proactively respond to the needs of your customers.
Module #8 – Action Plan
In this module, everything comes together in a concise action plan where you will detail the specific steps you will take to market your business over the next 90 days.
Module #9 – Resources
In this module, I share a list of my favorite affordable business-building resources to help you implement your marketing plan quickly with minimal costs. If you need graphic design for social media posts, business cards and flyers, or website design you will find a resource. Need to build business credit? There is a resource.

I make complex concepts simple.
I have built my entire business around making complex concepts simple. Simple to understand and simple to implement.
My name is Summer Alexander, owner of Simply Marketing Solutions and Simply Training Solutions. I started my business nearly 10 years ago with only $26 after being laid off from my job of seven years.
With limited resources I had to figure out how to market my business efficiently and affordably. I sketched out a game plan on a sheet of notebook paper and in less than one month I had my first client.
The value of that first contract was only $250 but by putting my plan into action over and over again I was able to turn that $250 into a $1,000 contract, that $1,000 into a $5,000 contract, that $5,000 into a $20,000 contract and to date my highest single contract has been for $75,000.
Scroll back up and read that again. I turned $26 into a six-figure business by creating and implementing a plan. Not only that but I have an Amazon #1 best-selling book, have been featured on multiple television and radio shows and I have been a featured speaker at some of the largest conferences in the country including SXSW and The Black Women’s Expo.
You can fumble around on social media and hope your family and friends purchase from you…
Or you can operate your business like a true owner and put some strategy behind your budget (no matter how small) and take the time to write out a plan of action to attract clients and increase your revenue.
It doesn’t have to be hard but it does have to get done. I’ve made this plan simple and affordable so you can finish it and get to the business of making money quickly. I can’t wait for you to join me in the upcoming workshop and I look forward to learning more about you and your business.
