NEED MORE SALES?
Tired of wasting time & money on marketing?
Marketing Isn’t Broken. Your Strategy Probably Is. Let’s fix that.
Growth Demands More Than Guesswork
👉 86% of small businesses say marketing is their #1 challenge
👉 20% fail in the first year—50% by year five
👉 Most have no strategy—just tactics
That’s where GRIT comes. Strategy, structure, results without the overhead.
Struggling to Grow?
You're Not Alone.
-
Caught in daily grind
-
Limited budget
-
Need sales & traffic
-
No time or expertise
-
Unsure of what works
-
Overwhelmed
Feel Like Marketing Hasn't Worked?
❌ Marketing that only tracks impressions and likes? Useless.
❌ Marketing that can’t quantify results? Wasteful.
❌ Marketing that ignores operations, labor, and profitability? A mistake.
Marketing isn’t just about doing more.
It’s about choosing the right strategies to move the needle.
-
Focused on getting a logo? You are wasting your time without a sales plan.
-
Need more social media ? Maybe you do. Or maybe… you’re just talking to yourself?
-
Launching a product no one knows about? Only posting on your website won’t get you far.
-
A startup with zero followers? Organic social alone isn’t the answer.
-
Just trying everything and hoping something sticks? That’s not a strategy.
There are thousands of ways to grow a business—but they’re not all created equal. I don’t do marketing or PR for the sake of activity.
I focus on the fastest, smartest, most effective path to results.
