Stop Guessing
How to Grow Your Business

The Sales and Marketing Accelerator is a free, grant funded program

that helps Michigan small businesses gain clarity with proven sales

and marketing systems, to build a scalable business in as little as 8 weeks.

You're Not Alone

You're a Michigan small business owner working hard, but you don't have the dependable systems

for finding and keeping customers. You want clear guidance, not random facts.

Challenge #1

I can't grow because I don't have the sales, marketing, or operational systems to reliably find customers and close deals.

Challenge #2

I feel stuck, behind other businesses, and tired of guessing what to do next.

Challenge #3

Every small business deserves a clear, proven path to revenue, not a maze of disconnected resources.

We Understand What You're Going Through

We see founders every week who are juggling everything, trying YouTube tactics, bouncing between free advisors, and still not seeing reliable revenue. It's not a lack of effort; it's a lack of systems.

That's why we've built a proven program backed by the state of Michigan to give you the guidance, systems, and support you actually need.

Why Joins Us

Grow Faster With Community, Connections & Capital Behind You

When you join the Sales & Marketing Accelerator, you're not just getting training. You're plugging into a community, a partner network, and real funding pathways that most founders never get access to.

Local Founder Community

Learn alongside other Michigan founders in Jackson, Hillsdale, and Lenawee. Get warm, real-world feedback and ongoing ecosystem support long after the cohort ends.

Pre-vetted Service Providers

Work with marketing & sales providers who execute against your roadmap, often covered through BAF, LOCAL, or partner funding instead of all out-of-pocket.

Real Grant Funding Pathways

Access different levels of funding through programs like Lean Rocket Direct Grants, Fast Track to Lending, and the Business Accelerator Fund

Hands-On Implementation

Get practical, actionable training you can implement immediately—not just theory, but tools and systems that work in the real world.

Your Future Success

After Working With Lean Rocket Lab

When you partner with Lean Rocket Lab, you're not just getting advice—you're getting real transformation.

Clear, Documented Sales Process

Have a repeatable system instead of 'winging it' – know exactly how to move prospects through your pipeline.

Improved Digital Presence

Customers can find and trust you online with clear messaging, SEO, and professional brand.

Simple, Repeatable Marketing

Run campaigns that bring in qualified leads consistently, not random bursts with no ROI.

Funding-Ready Operations

Be prepared for lending and grants with cleaner operations, better reporting, documented processes.

But Without the Right Strategy...

Keep relying on trial-and-error marketing that burns time and cash

Miss out on available grants, technical assistance, and lending opportunities

Stay overwhelmed by compliance, reporting, and ecosystem navigation

Watch other local businesses upgrade their systems and pass you by
