Stage Two of Business
Time for your startup to grow, fast.
Your brand story is killer. You know your audience cold. Your offer and pricing are pitch-perfect.
What you need now is volume. And that presents a new set of challenges:
– Choosing effective channel partners
– Building the right automations
– Growing a producing sales force
– Delivering your offerings in volume
The ultimate question is: can it scale?

More lift, less drag
It takes cash, brains, and grit to break out of Stage One and move up. Time’s flying by – and there’s only one you to get it done.
You need to launch. I’m your marketing mission control guiding you through:
– Telling your story
– Finding niche customers
– Pricing and positioning your offer
– Building the plan
– Delivering promotions
Avoid the nosedive
…because the offer was priced too high or low
…because the wrong customers were targeted
…because the story didn’t connect with buyers
The grind will always be there. Let’s make sure you never go back.

Stage one business growth process
We’ll talk about your vision, your setup, and where you’re stuck.
Your needs determine precisely what marketing levers we’ll pull. Get an analysis of your brand, offering, pricing, niche audience, messaging, and promotions. We’ll block and tackle the basics, pivot as needed, and fine-tune your growth engine.
Ramp-up times are different for each business and founder. An average of ninety days to six months is recommended but you can start, stop, or pause anytime.

Simple Workflows
Add as many requests as you like and prioritize them in any order. I’ll respond within a few minutes.
Items are done one at a time with a guaranteed start time within 48 hours (Monday-Thursday). You have one review round. Approve as is, or with edits.
Most items are done in one-week sprints. Low-complexity tasks (social media posts, emails, or copy fixes on a web page) are often completed within one to three days. That’s how we knock out the work fast and without the need for meetings.
All work, no bloat, and faster results.

Unlimited Access
I’m here for you when you need it. Sometimes a brainstorm or pivot needs to be figured out fast. Your time and mine are immensely valuable so let’s make sure we’re in sync with any adjustments to your plan.
Post a message or give me a call and I’ll respond ASAP.

Powerful Options
You’re in luck. With 20+ years of entrepreneurship and startup marketing experience, you have access to a ton of skillsets we can apply to create your next-level business.
I’m certified in several areas of digital marketing: Google Ads, Mailchimp, SEMRush, and more.
More importantly, I’ve built successful plans and delivered results for startups since 2006.

Easy to Start, Pause, Stop
Things change, so feel free to put the brakes on whenever you need. When you’re ready to start again, your task list, comments, and past project history will be ready for you to pick up right where we left off.
Power up the work with an upgrade in services when you’re ready. Due to the nature of the work, no refunds are available. River Dog Digital stands by its work and a ‘we’ll fix it’ policy goes into effect for any typos or similar errors. I want you to be 100% thrilled with the work provided. After all, this is the first stage of your business.
My goal is to work with you through all five stages, not just the first.
