Why Coaches, Trainers and Educators Make Great Marketers

Ever wonder how you can promote your business without being a pushy marketer?
Easy.
Just Be Yourself.
This post from Google Plus shows you what great marketing skills you already have as an trainer, coach or educator.
As a Trainer, Coach or Educator, you possess marketing skills and are using them in your everyday work which makes you a great candidate for being a brilliant marketer.
The Content Marketing Institute defines content marketing as

“A marketing technique of creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.”

Marketing is not about being spammy or pushy. In fact, I think marketing comes quite naturally to those in the coaching and training profession. Here’s why:

2. They both bridge the gap with training and education
3. They move their learners and marketers towards their goals and
4. They observe what their clients need.
