About

You know what’s funny about running a small business? Everyone talks about wearing different hats, but lately it feels like we need to add “AI expert” to that stack. Right next to the accounting hat and the customer service hat and all the others we’re juggling.

The promises of AI marketing sound amazing, don’t they? It’s like having a marketing team in your pocket – automated content, customer insights, streamlined campaigns. But here’s the question I hear from business owners all the time: “How do I use AI without losing that personal touch that made my business successful in the first place?”

Think about it like this: If you’ve tried AI marketing tools, you might have felt like you were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Maybe the content felt too robotic, or the insights seemed designed for big corporations rather than businesses like yours. It’s like being handed a complex new system when what you really need is your trusted, proven approach.

But here’s something interesting: Your years of business experience – that intuition that tells you exactly what your customers need, the creativity that helps you solve problems in unique ways – that’s actually your secret weapon in making AI work for you. While others are chasing the newest AI trick, you can focus on what really matters: connecting with real people and solving real problems.

Let me share something I’ve learned working with small businesses: Marketing isn’t just about algorithms and automation. It’s about telling the right story to the right person at the right time. Just like there are countless stories within every business, there are countless ways to share your business story – and AI can help amplify each one.

What if, instead of trying to become an AI expert, you could use AI to boost what you’re already great at? Think about it: You know your customers better than any algorithm ever could. You understand your services inside and out. You have a clear vision for your business. AI can simply help you share all of that knowledge more effectively.

When you combine your hands-on experience with the right AI tools, something remarkable happens. It’s like having a really smart assistant who takes care of the repetitive tasks while you focus on the big picture. Imagine having more time for service development, deeper customer relationships, or (dare I say it?) actually taking a vacation!

At this point I’m only asking you to trust me with your email address so I can send you a series of valuable lessons that will show you exactly how to make AI work for your unique business style.

You’ll discover:
– How to use your business experience (like that instinct you have for what your customers really want) to stand out in today’s AI-powered marketing
– Ways to make AI amplify your authentic voice (no robot-speak allowed!)
– A proven system for turning your real-world expertise into marketing content that connects
– Simple techniques for combining your wisdom with AI’s capabilities (without losing that personal touch)

Each lesson includes a quick win you can use right away – like having a trusted advisor in your pocket who actually understands your business style.

Age wisely, stay human,

She developed her storytelling skills through a combination of formal education (master’s in TV/Radio/Film from Syracuse University), hands-on experience at Universal Pictures, and years of helping businesses tell their stories effectively. Along the way, she’s been a trusted partner for many clients, including as an indispensable contractor of a client’s marketing team for more than eight years.
