How
to Uniquely Package & Market Your Services
with Frankie Doiron - RCI Certified Master Relationship
Coach and the President of Conscious Relationship Network
Marketing should be exciting, but many practitioners cringe at the thought of ‘marketing’ their services. The two main reasons that service professionals say they hate marketing and selling is because they:
- try to market without having a clear vision of their service offering and target market;
- believe that self-promotion is pushy and self-centered.
This Tele-Seminar will help take the fear and stress out of marketing, making it a fun and exciting part of your practice. It is designed for both the new and seasoned entrepreneur, who wants to fill their practice and earn multiple streams of income.
In this Tele-Seminar you will learn:
- How a 360 Marketing Strategy is the key to a successful and thriving practice
- Why developing multiple product offerings and packages builds credibility and increases your client base
- How to leverage your service packages to acquire new clients
- The best practices used by global corporations can be easily scaled and used effectively in small business with great results
- Why it is important to love your work and why that gives you a competitive advantage
- New ways to look at your target market so you can anticipate their needs
- Why a good reputation is like money in the bank
- and so much more!

How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It
with Steven Stosny, Ph.D.
Men are right. The "relationship talk" does not help. In this
program Dr. Steven Stosny reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness:
- Love is not about better communication. It's about connection.
- You'll never get a closer relationship with your man by talking to him like you talk to one of your girlfriends.
- Male emotions are like women's sexuality: you can't be too direct too quickly.
There are four ways to connect with a man:
- Touch
- Activity
- Sex
- Routines
Men want closer marriages just as much as women do, but not if they have to
act like a woman.
Talking makes women move closer; it makes men move away.
The secret of the silent male is this:
his wife supplies the meaning in his life.
In this teleseminar you will learn:
- The same vulnerabilities that bring us together tear us apart
- Why we fight
- The worst thing a woman does to a man
- The worst thing a man does to a woman
- The Power Love Formula: 4 3/4 minutes a day to a powerful relationship
No need to register! As a subscriber you will receive a reminder with the telephone bridge number needed to join a few days prior to the seminar.

Twenty Reasons to Have Sex
When You Don’t Feel Like It
by Steven Stosny, Ph.D.
and Patricia Love, Ed.D
Excerpted with permission from their brand new book-
How
to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It
It's funny how sex factors into the way people describe the state of their relationships. Studies show that, when things are going well, sex contributes only 15 percent to the overall satisfaction of a relationship. But if things aren't going well, it contributes 85 percent to the overall dissatisfaction.
Sex has many advantages to both people involved. Here are just a few.
Twenty Reasons to Have Sex
When You Don’t Feel Like It
1. Because you said so
Even though you may not have promised to “love, honor, and have sex once
a week” when you made a commitment to your relationship, it was understood
that sex would be part of that bargain.
Imagine how the marriage rates would go down if people said, “I’ll marry you, but don’t expect sex.” If you polled one thousand people on the street and asked them, “Is it reasonable to expect to have to have sex when you are married?” the overwhelming majority would say yes. If you expect a monogamous commitment from your partner, then it stands to reason that you will be a cooperative sex partner.
2. Sex helps you forget
Oxytocin, which triggers orgasm, has an amnesic effect that lasts up to five hours. So for a period of time you forget that he maxed out your Visa card or she was an hour late getting home from work. Women get an additional benefit. During orgasm that parts of the brain that govern fear, anxiety, and stress are switched off. (Faking orgasm gives no such benefit.)
3. Sex rewires you for pleasure
Every time you share a positive experience with your partner, your brain comes
to associate him or her with pleasure. You can transform any relationship simply
by increasing the number of enjoyable times you share together.
4. Sex puts the “P” back in partnership
Passion is what separates your relationship with your intimate partner from those
with girlfriends and buddies. Yes, you two are best friends and confidants, but
without sex you will not have passion.
The following are from a 1997 study in the British Medical Journal-
5. Heightened sense of smell
After sex, production of prolactin surges, causing stem cells in the brain to
develop new neurons in the brain’s smell center (olfactory bulb).
6. Weight loss
Rambunctious sex burns a minimum of two hundred calories, about the same as running fifteen minutes on a treadmill. British researchers determined that the equivalent of six Big Macs can be worked off by having sex three times a week for a year.
7. Reduced depression
Prostaglandin, a hormone found in semen, modulates female hormones. Orgasm releases
endorphins, producing a sense of well-being and euphoria.
8. Pain relief
During sex, levels of oxytocin surge five times their normal level, releasing
endorphins that alleviate pain. Sex also prompts production of estrogen, which
reduces the pain of PMS.
9. Healthier heart
Women who have more sex have higher levels of estrogen, which protects against
heart disease.
10. Cure for the common cold
Once-a-week sex produces 30 percent higher levels of immunoglobulin A, which boosts the immune system.
11. Better bladder control
Sex strengthens the pelvic muscles that control the flow of urine.
12. Peppy prostate
Some urologists believe they see a relationship between infrequency of ejaculation in men and cancer in the prostate. In this case solo sex works just as well, but why out on all the other benefits?
13. Shiny hair, glowing skin
For women, extra estrogen from orgasm makes hair shine. Sweat produced during sex cleanses the pores and makes skin glow. Serotonin produces the after glow of sex.
14. Calming effect
Sex is ten times more effective than Valium, with no side effects.
15. Relief for a stuffy nose
Really. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can even help combat hay fever and asthma.
16. Firmer tummy and butt
Regular sex can firm your tummy and butt, plus improve posture.
17. Boosts immune system
Endorphins stimulate immune-system cells that fight disease.
18. Forever young
Sex actually slows down the aging process. It lowers cortisol levels in the bloodstream, which reduces stress and slows down the aging process.
19. Protection against Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis
Women who have more sex have higher levels of estrogen, which protects against Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis.
20. Euphoria
Who wouldn’t want more? The best way to get a natural high is sex!
