|  | “Before meeting Mary, I was victim to being a small business owner attempting to work both "in" and "on" my business simultaneously, overwhelmed and never really achieving my short and long term goals. After a month of working with Mary, I was able to reposition and re-brand my business, and gain clear discipline in applying the marketing strategies developed with realistic objectives and milestones. Thanks to For Marketing Matters, I have already seen the benefit from building marketing muscle!” —Kellee Twadelle, Proprietor, Rose & Dove, LLC | |
