About Us

Would you rather be doing the work you love instead of thinking of ways to promote it?

Are you more comfortable doing your work than talking about it?

You are a hard worker, skilled at your craft, and you provide quality work at a fair price.

Your customers know this - the ones who were lucky enough to find you.

But hang on...

Out there somewhere is a potential customer who is not hearing about you.

And someone else who doesn't fully understand how you can help them.

Good businesses get overlooked every day. Unfortunate, but it's true.

If you feel this way, it might be time for a Tune-Up.

Your personalized Business Tune-Up is supported by decades of hands-on experience:

Direct Sales (25+ yrs)
Sales Trainer (10+ yrs)
Professional Copywriter (AWAI Institute)
Marketing Graduate (Michigan State Univ.)
Decades of helping businesses succeed

Reach out today for a no-pitch, no hard-sell, and jargon-free conversation.

See you soon,
Chad

How We Got Started

For most of my career, I earned a living by selling products and services.

I've served customers in the medical, real estate, automotive, and home energy industries.

B2B, B2C, B2H (hospital/healthcare)

Over the years, I trained thousands of clinicians, customers, and salespeople. In 2023, I began to share this knowledge, experience, and wisdom directly with small businesses and solo professionals.

(more) #1  Show the local address and phone number prominently.    Beyond that: Website copy should contain plenty of references to local events and the specific geographic area.   (About Us page, blogs, etc.) And remember, most people are searching on their phone.  The business website needs to be mobile optimized, and clearly display the local contact info.  A "book appointment" button can make a massive difference.
