Hiring a consultant is a smart way to take your marketing to the next level and can be less expensive and more productive than hiring in-house.  According to Caron Hughes of Dun & Bradstreet, "Consultants are experts at jumping into a project and jumping back out again; they are self-starters who know what questions to ask, are adept at what takes to perform, and know how to execute."​

​

I've had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects over the past two decades and have developed a successful consulting practice based on consistently meeting client needs while providing additional value and ongoing satisfaction.  Here are some of the benefits you'll experience when you hire me to work with your organization:
 

• I have over 30 years of practical marketing experience in both Corporate America and as an executive consultant for my national consulting firm, A Figure of Speech, Inc.
   

• As an independent professional with a broad marketing, technology, and operational skill set (strategic and tactical), I can provide you with multiple services and can manage projects from inception to completion.
   

• I can help you reduce your expenses (hiring a consultant can be less expensive than hiring in-house (take into consideration salary, benefits, bonus, recruiter fees, etc.)).  In addition, when you work with a consultant, you only pay for real work—not time at the water cooler. You also don’t have to free up office space, purchase expensive computer equipment and software, or pay taxes and benefits.  
   

• As a seasoned consultant, I will direct you on strategic initiatives and then do the actual work --
  no more meeting with top level agency executives only to get stuck with junior level staff once the contract is signed.  And, given my extensive local network, I have direct access to other outsourced experts if the need arises.
   

• I have experience working with a diverse client set ranging from startups to early stage businesses to Fortune 500 companies.
   

• I deliver creative ideas, proven strategies, and best practices.
   

• I have worked with all professional types from C-level executives to sales reps to support staff.
   

• I am an ambitious executive, dedicated professional, and savvy entrepreneur.
