Hope is Not a Strategy

Imagine what it would be like to have senior level marketing expertise without the additional payroll and overhead commitments … coupled with strategic guidance and honest counsel that has helped clients generate revenue in excess of $100 million. 

I’m Linda Goodman. After more than 35 years as a senior corporate executive for national and international companies, and later as a business growth strategist and consultant to CEO’s across the spectrum, I launched Virtual CMO On Tap.

Do you stand out from your competition? Are you confident you’re armed with the customer insights needed to drive bottom line results? And are you interested in overcoming the challenges of today’s economy to successfully grow your business? 

Standing out in today’s marketplace is tough. If you’re like many successful business leaders, you may be juggling multiple business challenges with limited management resources. You’ve developed a business plan that demands you accomplish critical growth objectives within a defined period of time. And you know your company better than anyone. But is that enough?

Let me ask you:

1.  First and foremost, do you believe your business could or should be doing better?

2.  Are you increasingly challenged to maintain and replenish your high-value customer pipeline?

3.  Would you benefit from having a seasoned marketing strategist to help you identify and implement growth opportunities and develop initiatives to increase your bottom-line results?

4.  Do you need an unbiased sounding board with no agenda and nothing to sell to provide marketing guidance and help you navigate as you grow your business?

3.  Would you benefit from having a seasoned marketing strategist to help you identify and implement growth opportunities and develop initiatives to increase your bottom-line results?

4.  Do you need an unbiased sounding board with no agenda and nothing to sell to provide marketing guidance and help you navigate as you grow your business?

5.  Have you carved out a unique niche that’s enabled you to not only survive but thrive in today’s rapidly changing environment?

6.  Has your marketing gotten too complicated and fragmented because you’re outsourcing to various service providers?

7.  Do you want a senior in-house marketing executive but can’t justify the payroll expense?

8.  Are you frustrated that you’re working very long hours but not seeing the financial rewards?

If two or more of these questions resonate with you, then you should consider Virtual CMO On Tap to help generate more revenue and position your company for the future.

Your company will benefit from the as-needed marketing services of a world-class CMO with decades of experience who will know how to attack the challenges of your business on Day One. Virtual CMO On Tap will:

>   Provide the direction and vision of a consultant with the recognized expertise and implementation skills of an accomplished senior management business executive.

>  Provide a roadmap to measurable results through proven strategic counsel and direction.

>  Provide an unbiased sounding board to help you “vet” your options with no agenda other than seeing your business prosper.
