Bates Information Services provides research training and coaching services for individuals who already operate an information services company and want to grow it to a new level, and those starting an information services company who want to hit the ground running, based on advice from a highly successful information entrepreneur—Mary Ellen Bates.

And Mary Ellen adds:
"In addition to ongoing personalized coaching sessions, all my coaching clients may join in on a free monthly coaching call that I host."

Mary Ellen kicks off each coaching conference call by talking about some aspect of building an info business, and then participants discuss current issues or topics relevant to what they are working on or concerned about now. And if you can't make the live call, all calls are recorded and archived for coaching clients. So you can listen and learn at a time that's convenient for you.

"After talking with you...I was feeling energized, motivated, and excited about approaching my business in a new way, something I've been trying to figure out for 5 years and you drew out of me in about 5 minutes. And I didn't even know you were doing it."

--Verna Wilder, Wilder and Associates
