Coaching and mentoring to help you start and scale your one-person business.

Founder

Zero In

The mission of Zero In is to help as many businesses and leaders build a brand customers love and a company people are passionate to work for.  

So where do you need to focus (or Zero In)?
Solve the problem of INDIFFERENCE!

Indifferent customers have no compelling reason to purchase your product or service rather than your competitors' product or service. 

Indifferent employees are complacent because they are not passionate about coming to work each day.

Utilize the resources, books, and courses from Zero In to increase your customer retention, improve your customer experience, and build a passionate culture of innovation giving your team the ability to find new and better ways to serve your customers.

"Customers DO NOT buy your product or service, they buy what it can DO FOR THEM"
Customer-centricity means knowing your customers and giving them what they crave.  This helps you to build trust and loyalty, but also a solid reputation.  Loyal customers become fans of your brand and refer other customers to you.

"If you don't find new and better ways to serve your customers, SOMEONE ELSE WILL!"
Being Innovative brings new ideas, which is crucial to a business being able to find new and better ways to add value for your customers.  With innovation comes creative new products and services, increases in efficiency and, as a result, improved profitability.

BE THE BRAND CUSTOMERS LOVE AND THE COMPANY PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE TO WORK FOR

1 cent nugget - Hello from the Other Side

Well, I dont want to sound like a singer, however I found that it was very true. 

Often, we have our own point of view and neglect what other people says.

I had my fair share of self righteousness and was proven wrong over and over again 😅 early in my Corporate life. 

Yes, your position as a team lead or leader is thrust upon you.  

However does your respect continues after you have left your leadership role?

I thought I had my fair share of respect when I was a head of department. Yes, the Yes and Yes and more Yes. 

How about the Nos? 

How many speak of No, I disagree with you. 

How many times?

Nowadays I look for the No. 

Because, the No allows me to reflect better and also to re-affirm what I dont understand. 

Happy Wednesday, my dearest LI friends ❤️💕

So, Now, how about saying Hello from the Other Side? 👋
