System Failure: "I can't grow because I don't have the marketing or operational systems to close deals reliably."

The Growth Plateau: "I feel stuck and tired of guessing what to do next."

The Right to Revenue: Every small business deserves a clear path to revenue, not a maze of disconnected resources.

Sales & Marketing Fall Cohort

LECTURE BASED LEARNING

Each week centers on one sales and marketing topic the whole cohort needs. Past sessions have covered messaging with StoryBrand, crafting an offer, building landing pages that convert, measuring marketing, CRM setup, and outbound outreach.

COACHING AND NETWORKING

After each lecture you apply the tools to your own business through homework. Weekly group office hours give you real feedback from peers and industry experts, and accepted companies join our private cohort community that stays open long after the program ends.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRANTS & EXPOSURE

The program closes out with a live pitch event the week before Thanksgiving. Companies that maintain 90% or better attendance and participation earn a spot on stage to compete for milestone grant funding to execute the plan they built during the cohort.
