A group of people gathered around a table

“I’ve been doing marketing for more than 25 years. But, after launching my consulting business, I found myself struggling to define my marketing process. Heather and her insights have been invaluable. Working through Heather’s process helped me define the steps I take with clients. Heather also suggested exercises I could tweak to keep clients engaged through the process. While we‘re not done yet, I’ve begun testing the ideas and process. The results are better than expected. Clients are engaged, excited about the work, and are referring my services to others. They are as excited about the process and the potential results. I couldn’t ask for more.”
