Marisa is a rare person, one of a kind.
With English being a second language to me, I can confidently say, my English is good enough that I usually can follow any conversation in English, and understand 95% and more of it. But. when Marisa talks I have to listen up and listen closely, because what she says is so densely packed, and layered with information, that I am eager to not loose a word of what she says to take all of it in.
It is stimulating to listen to her – and then of all the playwrights, she quoted Kafka! In a Marketing course!!! (Sidenote: that in itself was a bit kafkaesk)
Marisa loves people - amazing. She helps people, she delimits herself, and in that she is fantastic role model for me. (Marisa just stay cool and normal, ok?)
Before EPM, I had a very ambivalent relationship to marketing, I did not like marketing, because I felt like a fraud when I switched to marketing mode, the way I understood marketing until 10 weeks ago then. And to fake it till I make it, does not help me either as a concept, only deepened the gap that I felt between what marketing people embody and the values that I hold. Because of that marketing courses have never been easy for me.
But here in EPM I could see, feel, hear and experience that I was not sold, was not stripped money and. There was and is a fair exchange – business done in a way I really enjoy. I was respected, people cared for me.
I want to be in this group. The people here are cool, even the ones I don't feel so close to are still cool people in their way.
It is amazing how many people Marisa attracts, and from how diverse backgrounds they all come from. It's stunning.
In terms of my own marketing from now on, I am pretty unstoppable, and can't wait to get to my next launch (in 3 weeks from now). I am continually "chatterboxing" (Marisa's term for you sharing and exchanging ideas with people ) and new doors are opening up now that I never dared to dream of before (like e.g. FIFA).
It's a course not only for a sprinters' mentality (but I like sprints) and I experienced it as stimulating and energizing for my business, for my relationship with my partner, and overall a lot of FUN !
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
For the first contact stay short, fewer words is better, even if the person gets only a blurred idea of what I really would like to convey… Then when there is more interest, I can share more. But I don't have to satisfy my wish to communicate - I have to serve my client and help him (or her) to get what (s)he wants.
How did EPM help you become successful?
telling me from the outset to chatterbox. Chatterboxing is the most important mindset shift I have to assimilate (still), but it is effective - I actually start to get chatterbox and reach even into FIFA sounds amazing and is amazing.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I talk more with people!. I am better connected. And it's not the networking I dread but it's a lifestyle and a real joy! It 's a huge mindset shift for me. Even though I take with people before, but my drive, my charisma, my knowing what I want is different. (and no I am not running over people and talk only about me, but I also talk a out me and make it a point of balance to also talk about me)
What has been the biggest change in your business?
It still is to find a way to interest people for their own health. One should not think that hti is difficult for people to grasp, but it is. People still believe it's not that urgent, but health gives a freedom that only few realize before they no longer have it Afterwards the freedom that comes with health has gone…
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
promoting it now in the German language - my customer base is much more solid…
