Peer-to-Peer Session Success Stories
- One client came to me seeking new opportunities for their product. I recommended a key niche conference that was ideal for their brand. I also recommended the speakers and exhibitors to network with at the event. The result? The client uncovered a profitable market eager to buy their product. This market was national in scope which matched with the client’s goals for their product. Several exhibitors also signed on to distribute the client’s product to their customer base.
- Another client felt they were “not a writer”. While “not a writer,” this client had volumes of expert knowledge to share with her followers. She also understood the value of text content on a website for higher search ranking. Her only challenge was that she was stuck on how to deliver her information. I provided her with a template she could use to prepare her blog articles – customized for her specifically. It was a simple guide that helped her structure her knowledge. It worked perfectly for sparking the hidden writer inside of her.
- Most clients have many ideas they want to turn into reality. In my experience this challenge is a common characteristic of most business owners and entrepreneurs. When you’re a small business the burden of success rests solely on you (or a small team). That scenario can lead to tunnel vision and a loss of objectivity. It can be difficult to decide which ideas to work on first. Several of my clients come to me multiple times each year to work through this particular issue. I bring an objective viewpoint paired with experience from working with many small business owners. I help them find the answers to their current questions, and guide them to prioritize the next steps.
How Expert Support Moves Your Business Forward
When you’re a business owner or leader, perhaps the only employee in your small business, you can find yourself in a vacuum when it comes to having peers with experience and knowledge to talk with.
At large corporations the top leadership is composed of multiple people with vast amounts of experience and knowledge. They work together on the issues impacting their companies. They have skilled staff working for them. Plus financial resources to involve issue-specific experts when needed. But for small businesses things are different.
Small businesses rely on the energy of their owners, often start as side-gigs, and frequently run on a shoe string of financial and expertise resources. You get into small business because you have a product or service that you love and do well, but the surrounding aspects of business operation can trip you up.
You know you need answers. Finding them is what is tricky. You might turn to the Internet, searching for advice to make a decision. Or ask a fellow small business owner for advice. They may not have experience in that particular topic. Or they may share advice that worked for them, but is not tailored to your needs.
For example, on multiple occasions people have offered me financial advice relating to how to form my business’ legal structure, how to pay myself, and where to find business. In all cases those individuals have been well-meaning but gave me the wrong recommendations. Why? They provided advice that worked for them, but did not have the training to identify my unique situation and what would work for me.
These issues are the reason I offer Peer-to-Peer Consulting Sessions. Because I have been working with small businesses like yours for more than 30 years, I bring knowledge and experience to point you in the best possible direction. Guidance that is based on your unique situation and an understanding of the options available to you.

If you’re new to working with me please start with an Intro Call first.
