Experience
From my own side business . . .
Selling over $275,000 worth of product and over 10,000 packages delivered in the first year of creation with a 99.5% positive feedback from our customers. It’s no coincidence that …
a unique perspective . . .
is what has helped my business flourish. And direct and purposeful messaging is also part of what has helped curate a 9.9% sales conversion rate and over 12 million impressions on eBay alone in a month time period.
I can help you and your organization grow.
Both professionally and personally. Understanding people beyond simplistic labeling and treating every individual with care and attention to detail, sets a higher standard for consumers than competitors do.
