Big Sur Vineyards has a lovely little tasting room in Carmel Village. Lorena, the owner, had all sorts of lovely little stories to tell us about each wine pouring. I highly recommend stopping by this place, friendly, hospitable, family-run tasting room.

"What if you could choose your own pricing?"

Interviewing pushy sales-minded "consultants" last week gave me an idea: 1) We help you start or grow your business… 2) you budget only as much you're comfortable with, invested back into your own business… 3) we prioritize the products or services that will help you the most… 4) and you can cancel anytime.

1) My colleagues, business resources and my own 30+ years of strategy, marketing and experience starting / running businesses in multiple industries, are at your disposal
2) I recommend small businesses start with no more than 5% of revenue or whatever keeps you feeling safe as you get to know us and see for yourself if working together is useful or effective. Increase your budget as we grow your business to accelerate achieving your goals.. but it's always up to you
3)We offer small business consulting, marketing, business development, start up, funding, planning and, growth strategies… we tend to focus on coaching and marketing first to build you a strong foundation and increase revenue but with more clients come challenges like workload and your time, so we shift to focus on issues that arise as your business matures.
4) We keep our work together in alignment with your budget so that you're never in debt and you can quit anytime with a respectful 30 day notice.

If you want, call or text to find out how we might work together to help your business work for you, not the other way around. No charge… 650-201-9558

I think most small business owners don’t like Yelp, because Yelp has allowed them to spend money advertising a Page that wasn’t ready. We have an inside line into Yelp backend, and know all the tricks and tips to get your page performing really well. Most importantly, I am YOUR advocate. I know where to spend, where to save, can find out what your competitors are doing, and how to beat yelp frankly at its own game.

We can address the reviews problem, we can respond to reviews in a way that helps move your page up in search

If you are on the front page of Yelp, you are on the front page of Google. Because Yelp pays to be there.

No charge for me to take a look at your Yelp page and see what it’s doing. Look at the reviews of the lack of them, hidden reviews, see what Yelp is doing and why.

Call 650-201-9558 for a free chat to see if I can help you.

Funny, I recently interviewed several consultants, industry experts for one of my own small businesses, 😁. I was reminded again, from the consumer side, why I didn't trust them, how I knew they were a good fit or not, how it felt when they told me about what they charge, how it felt when they wouldn't tell me what they charge because they wanted to make sure they got their sales pitch in first…

When I talk with you about starting or growing your business, you know I'm really me. Whether we decide to work together or not you'll know that I am genuine, that I can help, that'll bend over backwards to help your business afford it. And your Success is my success, not your dollars. My #1 goal is to help you develop a business that supports itself and you, and that your business pay for the effort or at least pays you back quickly.

My free consult is not a step in a sales process, it's truly to get to know each other, hear about your business, and decide together whether or not to have another meeting.

What is your business or business idea? 650-201-9558.
