My Approach - THE BRAND BUILDER TOOLBOX with Virtuallinda

Do you have marketing overwhelm?

So many options to market your business…so little time! Every day you probably hear about a new tactic or thing you that you “must do”. You’ll be in a constant state of overwhelm unless you make a decision to focus on what’s most important.

No need to figure it out yourself…I’ll help you map out your path to success. I offer both targeted & flexible solutions to give you exactly what you need with a custom blend of strategy, design, tech & marketing.

The right small steps forward add up over time! Working with me will speed up your progress and ease your stress. Today, make a decision that you want to get started, and let’s talk. SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION »

Business is complex since there are many moving parts.

Brand building isn’t a straight line.

You can SPEED UP or REPEAT tactics for additional services, new ideas & opportunities, different target audiences, seasonal changes, etc. Start with your marketing essentials. This may be enough, or you can add advanced strategies.

You can also SLOW DOWN or SHIFT to adjust around life’s surprises—family issues, illness, deaths, the pandemic, and other things beyond your control. These things WILL happen. Plan for the expected unexpected, adjusting as needed.

You’re too close to the problem.

When you are working hard every day, it is extremely difficult to take a step back and look at things from a high-level perspective. Get feedback on ideas, brainstorming & insight to shorten your TO-DO list!

What should you keep doing?
What needs to change?
And how can you maximize your return on investment?
How can you implement the changes you need to make?

An outside perspective will get you unstuck & focused.

Use my expertise to break through your brand builder barriers! We start by zeroing in on your most important problem, the one that by solving, gives you the biggest return on investment. I’ll provide DIY tips, strategies and/or implementation of next steps.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS »

Transform your vision into reality.

I can help you refine your DIY marketing, update a template OR provide custom design.

Leverage my 27+ years of experience.

Since 1994, I have worked with a wide variety of clients & projects, giving me a unique set of skills & experience to apply to your challenges.

I see the big picture of how these pieces fit together and blind spots that business owners can’t see all by themselves. My passion is sharing my expertise in design, branding, strategy, website usability and creativity to fill in the gaps between where you are now and where you want to go.

I am your creative & strategic partner to help you turn goals into action & bring your ideas to life. Scattered ideas turn into solutions to avoid mistakes and leverage your limited time, money and energy to make the process of starting and growing a business easier.

Strategic support to build your ideal business.

We’ll create a plan to work together to increase your profits &
reduce overwhelm, at a pace & budget that works for you!

I work with talented, service-based Entrepreneurs who are experts in their fields. Their overwhelm is reduced as I cut through their long list of TO-DOs and create a simple action plan to move forward.

I will fast-track your success by focusing your ideas, clarifying your marketing message & building your brand to get clients. I’ll tell you where you can save your money vs. investing it with professional help.

I can also keep you focused on your fastest path to profits, answer your questions, troubleshoot tech issues, help you craft your magnetic marketing message, create your brand identity & marketing materials. It’s all based on YOUR needs.

Create your custom plan forward.

I’ll recommend a custom combination of strategy, design, technology & tools to reach your goals.

I love working with Entrepreneurs to find a clear path forward to build a business with their passion and expertise. I have facilitated conversations on business topics with several local networking groups, uniting together new and experienced Entrepreneurs to learn from each other. I also use my blog to educate and share insight on the business building process.

Work 1-on-1 with me to define your vision and bring it to life with a website, business cards and other marketing materials. I can also be your accountability partner to help you consistently take action (and adjust around life’s unexpected surprises.)

End the overwhelm of “do-it-yourself” marketing.

You want to watch your budget, so you’ve tried a lot of do-it-yourself ideas. But this is just adding to your overwhelm without enough results.

There’s a common misconception that marketing is easy to do yourself. This myth is keeping many talented, success-oriented Entrepreneurs stuck. Spinning their wheels. Wasting valuable time. Wishing for more clients. Hoping for more profits.

Like many Entrepreneurs, you are smart, educated and dedicated but you’re still stuck. You know something isn’t working, but since marketing and branding aren’t your area of expertise, you have no idea where to begin. Or you may know good strategies, but you need help to customize the ideas to your specific goals and execute everything you’ve learned. Without someone to give an outside perspective, you are getting off track.

You’ve found that DO-IT-YOURSELF marketing still requires a LOT of time & effort to get quality results. Sure, with a few clicks you can sign up for Facebook or LinkedIn or order inexpensive business cards with a pre-made template. Or you can create a website…just “drag & drop” (after you figure out which website builder to use, what to write & get past your lack of design skills).

The reality is that it’s extremely time-consuming to figure out all of your options and to design something that looks professional. The first time you do ANYTHING NEW, it’s going to take more time than you planned. When you’re running a business, TIME = MONEY.

That’s where I come in. I use the approach of “DONE-WITH-YOU”. Even just a quick 30-minute phone call ($99) will point you in the right direction. I can recommend training from The Brand Builder Toolbox to guide you, or my services to end your frustration.

Focus on your area of expertise & use mine to build your business.

Figure out your next steps forward & cut down your TO-DO list.

So many ideas, so little time. Without a strategic plan in place, your marketing tactics will just get you more off track. Trying to do it yourself will take more time, money & energy as you learn from your mistakes. This can lead to burnout, or at worst, business failure.

Trying to do this on your own, in the middle of your mind-swirl is nearly impossible. With outside help, your unique vision & goals will be clear. This helps us prioritize & see next steps. It will also take a LOT off your TO-DO list, as it will be clear what’s just not important.

There are millions of strategies you could employ, but that doesn’t mean you should employ them all at once. Let me help you FOCUS on what’s most important!

Work with me to QUICKLY cut through your overwhelm
& map out your next steps to build your brand!
