Getting Expert Business Owners Known & Hired | Messaging + Marketing + Positioning | Word Nerd & Author of #3WordRebellion | Keynote Speaker ► Featured in Fast Company, Inc. & Entrepreneur

You're not selling to other online businesses. So why are you marketing like you are?

You're a consultant, coach, or service provider selling to corporate decision-makers, established professionals, or consumers with real problems.

Your clients don't buy courses at midnight during a cart close. They don't opt into lead magnets. They don't scroll Instagram looking for experts.

They hire based on referrals, reputation, and real conversations.

But you've been taught to market like you're selling to the online business world—with launches, funnels, webinars, and social media performance.

And it's not working. Because your clients don't live in that bubble.

Here's the truth most marketing "experts" won't tell you:

Most marketing advice is designed for online businesses selling TO online businesses. Lead magnets work when your clients are course buyers. Launches work when your audience expects them. Funnels work when your clients are shopping for the next shiny program.

Your clients aren't doing any of that. They're in the real world.

And real-world clients need real-world marketing—built on trust, expertise, and messaging that positions you as essential (not optional).

That's exactly what I help you create.

For 15+ years, I've helped solo business owners who sell outside the online bubble stop second-guessing their marketing and start getting hired for their brilliance.

No launches. No funnels. No Instagram dancing.

Just clear, trust-building messaging that makes the right people say "yes"—often before you even get on a sales call.

When you have 60 responses to an email you accidentally sent at 10:30 pm at night…

Seems I hit a nerve. 

Wrote about why most marketing advice doesn't work when your clients live outside the online business bubble—and my inbox has been popping ever since.

⚡️Make Marketing Suck Less | Messaging & Marketing Strategy for Solo Business Owners Who Sell Outside the Online Bubble | Author of #3WordRebellion | TEDx Speaker | ► Featured in Fast Company, Inc. & Entrepreneur

Most marketing advice assumes you have unlimited time, a content team, and the energy to chase every algorithm change.

You don't.

You're a solo consultant, a coach, or an expert-for-hire running a real business—not an influencer factory.

So why are you marketing like one?

Here's what I keep seeing with business owners who are tired of working twice as hard for half the results:

→ They stopped measuring success by likes and started tracking conversations that lead to contracts

 → They ditched "showing up daily" for strategies that compound instead of evaporate

 → They built relationship momentum instead of chasing reach

The problem? Most marketing advice still treats your business like it needs to go viral to survive.

Screw that!!

That's why I'm hosting Make Marketing Suck Less—a free virtual event where 13 business owners reveal what's actually working beyond the algorithm.

You'll hear from people like:

Tara Lassiter on building "buyers + believers" so your pipeline stays full (without cold pitching strangers)

Melissa Camilleri, MFA on how she built multiple seven-figure businesses through relationships that compound (not content that disappears in 24 hours)

Taylor Aller, who quit social media in 2019 and built a thriving business anyway

And me—talking about why "doing all the things" won't fix your lead generation problem (and what will).

If you're done performing for platforms and ready to market in a way that actually respects your time and expertise, this is for you.

Can we talk about the guilt?

The low-grade shame of not posting enough. Not emailing enough. Not showing up enough.

The voice that says, "If I just had more discipline, I'd be consistent with my marketing."

Here's what I want you to consider:

Discipline isn't the problem. You're exhausted.

You're exhausted because (of the world being on fire) you've been forcing yourself into marketing strategies that were never designed for your business or the way your brain works.

You don't need more discipline to post daily. You need permission to stop doing something that isn't working.

That's why I created the Make Marketing Suck Less Summit (January 26-30).

13 business owners sharing marketing approaches that work for THEM—so you can figure out what might work for YOU.

Featuring Caryn Gillen, Laurie-Ann Murabito, Nicole Pearl, Melissa Camilleri, MFA, and more.

The goal isn't to copy what they did. It's to help you decide what fits YOUR business.

Free. Link in comments.

You don't need more guilt. You need marketing that doesn't make you want to walk directly into the sun.

Being visible isn't enough anymore to stand out in a crowded market. If you are an expert who feels too much like a "Best-Kept Secret", you need visibility that draws in high-value clients...and quickly establishes what you are known for.

Imagine...

» Monetizing your visibility strategy so you generate quality client leads AND build your authority

» A business model where your "heck yes" premium offerings literally sell themselves

» Being a Recognized Authority in your market, generating consistent 5-6 figure months

» Feeling 100% confident so doubts, fears and worries no longer influence your business growth decisions

» Not having to rely solely on referrals, expensive ads or complicated JV launches to fill your programs.

» Accelerating your own audience building by collaborating with your peers (and maybe even your competitors!)

» Confidently and easily selling 4-5 figure offers that deliver massive value to ideal clients that you LOVE working with

It would be pretty darn amazing, wouldn't it?

Well, these results have become a REALITY for my clients - some whose names you'll surely recognize ... and many who are Visionary Entrepreneurs, Change Makers and Thought Leaders just like you.

I'd like YOU (or your referrals) to get the same results.
