How to Become the Highest-Paid, Highest Profile Consultant in Your Local Market, in 90 Days or Less

Consultants, Business Coaches, and Agency Owners…

Take your business to the next level!

Whether you are a new or seasoned business coach, consultant or agency owner, you’re already aware that local businesses need help, particularly when it comes to leveraging digital marketing to grow sales.

And they’ll pay you every month to help them, every single month. You just have to know how to find them,how to sell them, how to actually help them and how to keep the referral engine going so you can keep them long term.

Restaurants, salons, realtors, contractors, chiropractors, speciality health practitioners, weight loss clinics, retail businesses, attorneys, and more – they all are struggling in a hyper-competitive local business environment.

Why learn this from me?

I have over 17 years of consulting experience, including 10 years of sales consulting and training and more than 7 years running my own digital marketing firm.

In 2010, I founded my first social media agency. Since then, we’ve had an incredible list of clients, including over 350 businesses in over 34 U.S. States and three foreign clients. Customers come from a wide range of sectors, including technology, health, fitness, home improvement, the automobile industry, dining establishments, and hotels.

Some of the top names in industry have worked behind the scenes with my agency. The most notable accomplishment is that my companies have supported the online marketing efforts of numerous renowned New York Times Bestseller authors and Hall of Fame speakers. Among the most well-known clients we have served are Joe Calloway, Harvey Mackay, and Jeffrey Gitomer, Terri Sjodin, Dave Winfield, Tom Hopkins, The Og Mandino Group and Mark Sanborn.

I’m currently doing everything I’m teaching in the course – I’m in the trenches every week prospecting, selling and delivering results for clients, always testing new strategies.
