When you get your message and content right your sales and marketing will hum

Customers will “get” what you do.

They will understand the value you offer. They’ll be motivated to take the action you want.

That means more click-thrus, sign-ups, downloads, views, referrals.

It means more customers and more revenue; often more quickly.

How do we get there?

I will create a strategic framework for your message and content

I start by confirming or discovering your unique value. Many struggle to answer this clearly. Yet this is the foundation for your entire sales and marketing effort.

Using a proven, simple approach, I can quickly help you identify the breakthrough value that you offer.

Together we’ll agree on how to position you as the best choice to your desired future customer – and bring consistency, clarity, and power to your messages.

“Martin led our executive team through a major strategy planning initiative to help reposition our company to growth markets with new messaging that was on strategy. Great process – and the team loved the visual facilitation technique.”
Nancy Fontanne, Senior Marketer, Chipworks

PS:  I take on clients selectively to ensure a good fit

There’s nothing snobbish about this. I am one person. I only outsource work that I don’t do – like design, programming, SEO, marketing automation, or something that requires specialized expertise I don’t have.

So I will only take on new clients and projects when I know there’s a great fit between what they need and what I do well – so they get the value they need.

Are you a good fit?

Let’s find out.
