Hey there!
From one business person to another, I'm so happy you stopped by. There is nothing quite like the tension an entrepreneur feels between the things they love doing and the stuff that comes with running a business. If you know, you know.
Over the last eight years of leading my own business, I've found great freedom (not to mention greater success) by hiring different specialists to make my business life more manageable.
My business has grown because I stopped trying to do it all alone. I hope to bring the same stress relief to you.
We've just met, and I haven't been 100% honest with you.
Gardening is a terrible metaphor for me. I really struggle to keep green things alive. Each summer I buy 20 Geranium plants for my yard - they seem to have what it takes to thrive on neglect. I look for the ones that seem like fighters.
I'm a terrible gardener, but I know how to harvest the words that help small businesses grow.
Here's the thing: Clear, effective messaging is the foundation of solid marketing. It paves the way for more sales by inviting customers into a story where their lives are transformed. And nothing captures our attention the way a story does.
I graft (that's a horticulture term I looked up) my StoryBrand Certification with decades of experience in a broad range of roles and industries - including eight years serving small businesses like yours. My shed holds a variety of tools to help you grow your thing.
There are bigger, fancier agencies out there doing great stuff. But they can't do what I can do as your guide. Plus, for no extra charge, I'm a freaking delight to work with.
So, let's do a virtual coffee. Tell me about what you're growing, and I'll tell you how Greenhouse can help.
StoryBrand Guide & Graphic Designer
As a Certified StoryBrand Guide, I have the intensive training and experience to help you discover what your ideal client needs to hear. Using the StoryBrand framework, I help overloaded Construction Pros, Service Providers, Realtors (and almost anyone else) create a brand message that invites audiences into a story. I get a nerdy dopamine hit every time I figure out what my client's unique, strategic message is - followed by another rush when we find the language to communicate it.
The messaging is a good chunk of the marketing puzzle. Making sure things look sharp is another piece. We deliver both copywriting and graphic design services in one relationship —two shops, one-stop. My clients save a ton of time and hassle, knowing everything works together brilliantly.
(Insert chef's kiss here.)
