We were lucky to catch up with Jessica Marx recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jessica, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
A strategic advisory firm working with entrepreneurs globally to build sustainable businesses, giving our clients a life driven by freedom and new opportunities.
Jessica, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I was named TOP FEMALE COACH by Yahoo! Finance and I have been a member of the Forbes Coaches and Business Council for the last three years.
Let’s get one thing straight – I am not your typical “Business Coach” and nor do I want to be. I deeply care about the success of women entrepreneurs and passionately believe that as a community we are not taking enough of the market share we deserve. Nor are women having the amount of freedom they longed for when stepping into their role as a business owner.
I have flipped the script for hundreds of brands and women across every industry. Proving there is no one size fits all formula for business success.
Prior to launching this business in 2017, I was overseeing national sales and corporate strategy for a multi-billion dollar start-up. I was responsible for managing over $100 million in annual budgets and over 500 employees. I worked alongside the CEO and Board of Directors to develop strategies for both the operational and sales divisions of the company. I have been there, done that when it comes to business.
After having my twins four years ago, I realized going back to an incredibly demanding career while working 80 hours a week wasn’t for me anymore. I wanted to be present for my family and have the freedom I had long dreamed of while also making the highly lucrative salary I was used to.
It was then that I realized I could still be wildly successful working minimal hours while being a mom, married to an entrepreneur and traveling the world.
Using my knowledge and experience, I have now generated over EIGHT figures in revenue for my clients applying the same methods I utilize for my own success.
Throughout my career and building four businesses from the ground up I know what it’s like to feel the fear, test the limits, and take the risks, now I teach women just like you to do the same.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
When I first launched my advisory firm I was the only mentor and sole consultant. I knew my style and approach were different from so many other “business coaches” in the market. I wanted to make sure that this was clearly communicated and that the women who were interested in working with me could not only see the difference but feel it. One of our marketing strategies early on was to show the results. Real results from the women we worked with. As time went on, I built a reputation within my industry for being numbers-driven and profit-focused. Other women could see our clients living a life driven by wealth but more importantly freedom. Five years later, we still share case studies from our clients and live by example for our clients.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Hands down, our clients. We do not run ads, we do not heavily post to social media and we don’t pay for press. 95% of our business is generated through referrals and by the end of this year, we will be transitioning to referral-only clientele. Women see the results our clients are having and they crave it. They want to have more money but more than that they want time. Time to be with their families, time to travel and do the things they love. We give our clients the strategies to have both.
