ABOUT YOUR CONSULTANT
Hi! I’m Emily Ann Peterson, a trauma-sensitive business consultant.

Business reflects the full spectrum of humanity.
Tools (like maps!) help us navigate it all.

Four Business Tools in the
The Marketing Map:
- quantitative compasses—your historical customer and client numbers, stats, and percentages tell a business story that can make business decisions way easier
- "Interesting... 65% of that type of client gets under-billed 100% of the time..."
- qualitative compasses—comparing your previous clients' experiences can highlight trends, strengths, or friction points in your business (even if they purchased completely separate products/services!)
- "and it sounds like those same clients pushed some trauma buttons..."
- trail markers—gaining a clear outline of the "red flags" (aka trigger clients) and "green lights" (aka ideal clients) can provide trauma survivors with a pattern of dependability and security
- "Hmmm... it looks like those trigger clients share similar warning signs..."
- trail guide—a trauma-informed business consultant (like Emily Ann Peterson!) can present ideas for preventative risk reduction, system improvements to your marketing, and all the cool swimming spots too.
- "Which path would be best for your business and trauma resolution *today*?"

Take a Peek Inside:
Your welcome email contains scheduling and download links to get started instantly. Below is an overview of how each worksheet relates to each consulting session so you're fully prepared for every step of The Marketing Map experience.
WORKSHEET 1: Rolling Out The Map
After downloading your copy of The Marketing Map,the how-to video on each worksheet provides an overview of everything you'll need to know. Customize the categories, labels, and add as many classifications as your business needs. Worksheet 1 also includes conditional formatting and ✨automatically updates✨ according your settings designated on the Settings tab. (Fancy!)
The prep work for your first consulting session is to fill out as much of your client/customer info as possible on Worksheet 1, ideally at least 20-100+ previous customers or clients. Make note of anything that comes up as you remember each transaction.We'll discuss how your first worksheet went and I'll help you create a game plan for making historical data collection as easy as possible. Completing as much of your homework before our first session will maximize the value of your scheduled sessions.
WORKSHEET 2: Hunting for Flags
In your first consulting session, we'll set up the customized settings for your Marketing Map's flags (e.g. red flags, green flags). With the help of a consultant, discussing previous highs and lows as a people-first business is the when you'll learn to take note of your experiences in a different way! Worksheet 2, like the others, ✨automatically updates✨ according the the settings designated in the Settings tab.
The goal is to collect as many red flags throughout your timeline as possible! (Bonus: Trauma survivors are really skilled at this activity!) This list is personalized to you, your trauma triggers, and your business history. A list like this helps to ensure maximum chill for everyone, you and your clients/customers included!
WORKSHEET 3: Narrating the Journey
In your second consulting session, we dip our toes into outlining your extended "client stories." By this point, you've made a smaller selection from your larger customer list. For this narrowed selection of customers, Worksheet 3 presents a list of questions to find valuable qualitative information to boost your decision-making.
Your goal in this process is to identify the common threads within each customer narrative. These patterns might be as simple as "Oh! All of my favorite clients pay with Paypal!" or more nuanced. The how-to video provides an overview of everything else you'll need to know about this step in the process.
DASHBOARD: For Visual Analysis
As you feed the worksheets more customer data, you'll see this dashboard morph and change. In our third consulting session, we'll take a look at this tab along with your finished worksheets to wrap-up your experience.
Some clients begin The Marketing Map with specific goals, like new branding concepts or kickstarting content. Whatever your motivation, you'll finish your experience with a long list of fruitful action items and valuable decision points for the future.
SETTINGS TAB
In this Settings Tab you'll find all the bits and bobs that will ✨automatically update✨ across the other worksheets. I've also included shortcut links and an (optional) to-do list in case its helpful. There's also a How-To video, so you know exactly what's going on and the best way to use this tab in the Marketing Map.
A NOTE FOR TRAUMA SURVIVORS:
Access to cold, hard facts (in this case, historical business info) is especially important.
Sometimes our trauma-filtered decisions can have less-than-ideal consequences. Here's how that goes down:
During a trauma survivor's triggered moments, the "Trauma Tadpole" brain—the amygdala—plays emergency warning sirens, but if "Memory Mona"—the hippocampus—gets overwhelmed by those sirens or stuck on a loop, then she stops presenting information or presents incorrect info to our "Notorious RBG"—the neocortex—who is responsible for making logical decisions with whatever information is available.
Empirically-proven information makes it easier for a trauma survivor to avoid building a trauma-triggered, impulsively-constructed business and instead make confident, grounded decisions based on facts.
Reliable information creates a confident, holistic, and value-based business.
