Sales & Marketing Growth Partner

I’m ready to expand my business and need an experienced sales-and-marketing mind to guide the process. My immediate priority is brand awareness, quickly followed by solid lead generation and, once momentum builds, a structured customer-retention program.

Here is what I’m looking for:

• Brand awareness: Craft and execute a plan that gets my name in front of the right audiences through networking events and well-placed public speaking engagements. I’ll rely on you to identify local or industry-specific events, secure speaking slots where possible, and shape the messaging so it positions the business as a trusted authority.

• Lead generation: I’m deliberately steering away from email blasts, social ads, and SEO for now. Instead, I want a strategy centered on personal, face-to-face outreach—think targeted visits to prospects, trade shows, informal meet-ups, and other in-person touchpoints. Your job is to map out who we should visit, why, and how to convert those conversations into qualified opportunities. Familiarity with CRM tools to track this pipeline is a plus.

• Customer retention: Once new clients come aboard, help me design a simple, repeatable follow-up system—loyalty check-ins, value-add meetings, and referral prompts—to keep them engaged and buying.

If you’re comfortable blending classic, boots-on-the-ground sales tactics with strategic messaging for events, let’s talk. Show me examples where you’ve increased visibility through speaking or networking and translated that buzz into paying customers, then outline how you’d approach my goals.
