Introduction: I have a question: If you needed cardiac surgery, would you rather be operated on by a first-year residence or a surgeon with years of experience? I'm not trying to be cute, but this is a challenge entrepreneurs face with marketing. Many of the "experts" out there have NEVER run a business; they don't live the daily rollercoaster of running a business from a start up to an established company. There is a big difference between someone that knows how to post on Facebook and someone who knows whether you should post or maybe use paid ads. Using marketing tools is not that difficult. Knowing what and when to use them is a skill. My extensive experience building multiple companies over my career, and transitioning from traditional marketing to digital marketing, is unique and powerful. Whether you are unsure about strategy and direction, marketing, sales or running a profitable business, I invite you to spend 30-45 mins with me to openly discuss your challenges. I am transparent; I don't hold back, and at a minimum, you'll gain a fresh and very experienced perspective. What qualifies me to take on this challenge uniquely combines solid academic training (BA Psychology, MBA Marketing) and practical hands-on small and family-owned experience. I was also the Director of Innovation & Entrepreneurship and a Marketing Professor at the Touro Graduate School of Business in New York City for six years. Think of me as a combination of a marketing consultant and business coach; a uniquely qualified partner that can help you run a successful business. NO LONG-TERM CONTRACTS! All work is on a month-to-month or per project basis.

We operate in a unique industry and had yet to form a coherent strategy towards building and sustaining our brand and hired Zev to help us take our business to the next level. As Director of Marketing, I worked closely with Zev on improving both our sales and marketing strategy. He helped me develop a sales technique that fits our industry and has continued to provide results even after our partnership ended. Zev also assisted me in establishing a credible online presence that includes a professional website. Like the sales technique, I am now able to continue developing that presence after working with Zev. Down to earth and attentive, I could ask Zev about anything from networking to copy for a pre-show postcard and he would set me on the right path. Other consultants might give you the answer, but he goes a step further and helps you develop the skills to be independently successful. He provided direction, enthusiasm, and clarity to our sales and marketing operations while making it an encouraging experience for all involved. Despite our size and inexperience, our company can now compete with larger competitors and be successful on a national scale. We definitely recommend Zev for anyone looking to grow their business and who doesnt mind having some fun along the way.

Zev is not one of those marketing experts that sits and waits for you to make the move. He moves. Hes a man of action and he wants you to keep up. We were planning to develop a website and thought we had everything nailed down until we met Zev. During our first meeting, he was able to quickly assess what we were doing (wrong) and added a dose of reality. We clearly were overly optimistic and highly uninformed. Zev asked the tough questions we were afraid to ask, and helped us identify all the elements that were needed to build our marketing plan. He went above and beyond during each phase of our engagement and clearly demonstrated that he cared very much about our business. Zevs incredible experience and guidance has already paid off and will carry us far beyond the time we spent with him.

When Zev asked us to say a few words about our coaching experience, we were delighted to participate. We looked forward every week over 4 months for his in coming calls to us, as we needed an honest, straight forward advice and guidance, in order to take our Association towards a new level. Zev delivered this weekly on time and the Association has grown in leaps and bounds since then, with his great insight and input. He became our great friend over these 4 months and has continued since. We highly recommend Zev to anyone who wants professional input and wants it delivered in a warm, happy and up beat fashion. Every time we ended our weekly conversations, we were inspired. Please feel free to contact us any time if you require more information.

Zev: Your ability to bring fresh and broadening concepts to our staff was truly inspiring to experience. Continuing to do things like wed done them for the past 25 years was no longer an option. And although it is hard to effect change and combat inertia, you made it seem almost fun for all of our staff to get on board with new directions and with a re-invigorated attitude. From our weekly meetings with you, to the development of our new web sites, your suggestions and advice were invaluable. Although everyones future is by definition uncertain, I have to say that our current company-wide optimism and upbeat attitudes are a direct result of your efforts!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is straightforward. The difficulty too often is answering "how much does it cost?" questions. I do not work, or believe in throwing a template at my clients and have them fill-in the blanks -- there is enough of this out there. I get paid for "time" --the time that is required to learn about my client, their goals and the business they want to develop or improve. We work together! I do a lot of the creative work and drive the process. My pricing is based on the 'scope' of the work -- knowing from experience, how long it would take to generate results. We always work on a weekly 1 hours session and I budget and equal amount of time for me to do the actual work -- so typical engagements are about 8 hours per month. Some projects can be accomplished in one month, and some may require 2-3 or more months. There are no long term commitments and my approach is quite flexible. Let's start working together and if it works well, we keep going. My fee is $100/hour and after my complimentary session to determine the scope of work, we decide on the appropriate monthly commitment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spend hours each week reading and reviewing case studies and the latest techniques when it comes to marketing and sales. There is no shortage of great ideas out there and a lot to learn...the only limit is time.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have done my line of work for others for over thirty years. I held different sales and marketing positions with small and family-owned businesses for over thirty years. I also dreamed about taking what I know and created and helping others succeed. I had to wait until I sent three kids to college and could afford to risk everything and start my business. I left a successful six-figure corporate position in January 1st, 2012 to fulfill my dream. I took $150,000 out of my pension plan and started a business. It was scary but I have accomplished my goal of helping others become successful. Now, 3 years later, while I work harder than I ever had, my only regret is that I couldn't have afforded to start earlier.
