WE TAKE THE 'BEST KEPT SECRETS' TO #1 IN THEIR MARKET

For established, growth-minded businesses already turning over $2 million or more, Trent Butler can act as your 'Fractional' Chief Marketing and/or Operations Officer. Our fractional approach replaces the hassle and risk of prematurely hiring and managing a full-time marketing or operations leader in-house.

Just a few of the 'best kept secrets' we've worked with:

THE TRUTH IS YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE WHEN IT COMES TO BEING THE #1 BUSINESS OR INDUSTRY EXPERT IN YOUR MARKET...

You Might Be Struggling With:

Figuring out what to do and what not to do from a marketing standpoint

- Exactly who is our ideal client and how do we get more of them?

- Just what is our point of difference (or do we even have one)?

- Do people see us as a commodity service provider?

- What 'tactics' would work best specifically for our firm and stage of business?

- Where should we be spending our marketing dollars and efforts?

You just want to know what you should be doing and why.

Identifying & attracting the right type of higher-value client

- Past efforts have attracted the wrong type of client.

- Prospects just want to know 'price' and don't seem to care about anything else. 

- Leads seem to take forever to sign-up and become a client.

You just want to attract higher-value clients who value your expertise and expect to pay a fair premium to work with you.

Monitoring cash flow & tracking return on investment

- You’re unsure what metrics to be tracking.

- You’re not clear on what benchmarks to aim for.

- You're not sure if your marketing is making or losing money.

You just want to understand dollars-in vs dollars-out and whether or not it's all worth it.

Developing process and people to handle the next growth phase

- Growth is starting to cause other operational challenges.

- Getting the right people in the right seats has become easier said than done.

- The team can never quite seem to follow process or consistently achieve what is expected.

- You're getting pulled in a hundred different directions and clients are beginning to notice.

You just want to get everyone on the same page and following processes that actually work and scale.

Aligning the leadership team on strategy, planning and execution

- The leadership team is losing sight of the bigger picture (core mission, vision and values).

- Key team members just can't seem to agree on what should be done next, how and why.

- Problems use to be handled quickly but now take weeks/months to resolve.

- Important but not urgent activities are just not getting done.

You just want everyone in the business aligned and beating to the same drum.
