“Even though I have a marketing background, I found Vanessa’s program gave us great value, specifically where we should focus our online marketing efforts. It also gave me new strategies and new techniques about how to implement them. We are already seeing incredible results and I highly recommend it.”

“Vanessa helped us realize that we needed to look at marketing one of our new ventures in a whole new way — the opposite of we were doing before. When I followed her approach to create our offer, conversions were downright easy.”

“I like how Vanessa begins with the end in mind. She has you strategically understand your goals, ideal customer, and offer first, then teaches you how all the rest applies. It’s not tied to one thing, but rather, it’s an integrated approach. I would like to create online products for my business and Vanessa really reaffirmed the possibilities. She also highlighted how simple it can be to get them started.”

“Vanessa’s careful nurturing of her clients, her guidance, and her cheerleading have been invaluable to me. The amount of information you get in her workshops and online course is staggering… it includes email marketing, social media, paid traffic, content creation and so on… email marketing was especially valuable for my business. I would recommend her to anyone looking to increase their organization’s online marketing presence.”

“We actually slowed down our marketing plan to keep up with all the new business!

Vanessa has expert knowledge of marketing techniques, but what is really special is the way she helps her clients understand and apply those techniques. She is a great mentor and coach.

She regularly checks in with me and even sends referrals my way.”

“I have an MBA from a top 50 program and I learned a lot of great marketing strategy in that program. But what I didn’t learn was how to adapt tried and true marketing strategy to today’s technology, like social media and email marketing. You just don’t learn how all of this fits together anywhere else. Thank you, Vanessa!”
