About Us

After a 23 year career working for and owning a traditional business (when I sold out in late 1995 we had revenues of $14 million), in January, 1997, I “found” the Internet (to give you a frame of reference, there were 72,000 websites in existence and “high speed” was 1,900 baud).

I initially saw the Internet as a potential vehicle for traditional business to increase their revenue. Since then we’ve had the opportunity to work with over 1,100 clients ranging from startup to Fortune 50, initially focusing on web site traffic generation and conversion improvement.

Since 2014, we have worked exclusively with $1M to $30M traditional businesses with a focused effort on helping them predictably increase their revenue.

We are a purpose and values driven business.

Our purpose is to help small businesses increase revenue and gain the freedom they want by using proven automated systems.

We live and work by our values; they are:

  • Integrity – we are true to our word
  • Respect/Fairness – we treat everyone fairly and with respect
  • Personal Responsibility – we do what we say we’re going to do and own it when we don’t
  • Perseverance – we keep going no matter how difficult the task or situation
  • Growth – we continually get better at what we do and how we do it
  • Excellence – good enough doesn’t cut it
