Give me the ball and let me run. Whether you want to grow your legal
practice, your nail shop, or your manufacturing business, I have done it
before, probably several times, and can help you do it again.
Besides pure marketing, I have helped several of my clients to turn around their business from near bankruptcy or -0- profits to being viable and very profitable.

Specialties
I use a combination of analytical skills and creativity
to find the smartest, least expensive way to success of products,
people, and businesses.
Experience
2008
– Present
(4 years)
Greater Los Angeles Area
I have spent the last three decades researching, writing eight books and
countless magazine and online articles about, and helping small
businesses to grow through marketing. But in addition to pontificating, I
have also created and managed over 30 businesses.
Over the past four years I have turned my attention to working one-on-one with company owners to help them maximize their business opporunity through marketing. Marketing, in my opinion, includes goal setting, strategies, tactics, and logistics. All need to be addressed to be successful.
We are most effective with bicycle dealers and other retailers, lawyers, manufacturers, importers, and personal services companies. We especially like owners who understand the importance of online marketing, but know they can't keep up. We are unique in that while over 60% of our effort for the average client is online, close to 40% could be trade shows, print, mailing, or bus bench ads.
Check us out online on Amazon or Google, then give me a call. I answer my phone. No long term commitments required. Affordable.
