21st Century Marketing Systems, Inc. Orem, UT
Started my own marketing and sales consulting business after investing $15,000 to be mentored by a professional marketing consultant. Enjoyed 30 years of helping small business owners of all industry - retail, wholesale, manufacturing, service and professional increase sales and profits. I utilized a unique marketing and sales system that I created called the 21st Century Marketing System to grow their sales and profits without investing additional dollars in advertising - online and offline.
I guaranteed my performance in every agreement I entered in with the business owner.
During the engagement with the business I often trained and motivated internal sales staff and marketing personnel. This would be in small groups of a couple to dozens. These owners were all entrepreneurs.
I was thrilled to be of service to them. To see them enjoy increased prosperity for them and their employees as their business grew.
I learned how to grow my business and earnings by forming strategic alliances with groups and associations that included small business owners. These groups would then refer me to their members. I learned the value of important alliances and keeping their trust so they continued to refer opportunities. I published and sold my unique 21st Century Marketing Systems to dozens of other consultants seeking “systems” to help them in their own marketing consulting practice.
