Frequently asked questions.

Answers to Your Business Growth Questions

Do you work with new businesses or only established ones?
I work with both. If your business is fully formed — meaning you’ve completed your legal setup, structure, and foundational planning — you can work with me whether you already have clients or you're preparing to land your first ones. If you still need support with the early setup stage, my Business Start Up Program on the Services page is the best way to begin.

What kind of results can I expect?
Most clients see early wins within the first few weeks, from clearer messaging to stronger sales conversations to streamlined workflows. Larger results — more leads, higher conversions, increased revenue — typically show up within 60 to 90 days, depending on your goals and implementation.

How long does it take to see growth?
Growth isn’t instant, but it is predictable with the right strategy. Once we strengthen your marketing, sales systems, and operations, momentum builds consistently. You’ll know exactly what to focus on each week, which removes the overwhelm and accelerates progress.

Do you work with teams or only solo business owners?

Both.
Whether you’re a one-person operation or you have a small team, I can help improve your systems, communication, workflows, and revenue strategies.

Do you offer workshops or group programs?

Yes. I lead workshops on business growth strategy, marketing, sales, and AI integrations for:
• small businesses
• local organizations
• nonprofits
• business centers
• corporate teams

I also teach programs through the MCSC Women’s Business Center and the SBDC CalPoly, which you can join at no cost.

How much do your services cost?

My services vary based on the level of strategy and support your business needs. We’ll choose the program that aligns with your goals — whether that’s business growth consulting, sales and marketing development, or AI workflow guidance. You’ll get a clear price before we begin, with no surprises.

What if I’m not sure which service is the best fit?

Book a strategy call. During the session, we’ll talk about your goals, business stage, challenges, and the results you want to see. I’ll recommend the smartest next step — no pressure, no sales push, just clarity.

Do you guarantee results?

I guarantee that you’ll get clear strategy, measurable steps, and high-level support. Your results depend on your consistency, implementation, and commitment — but clients who show up and follow the plan consistently see significant growth.

What kinds of problems do you help solve?

Common challenges I support clients with include:
• inconsistent or unpredictable leads
• marketing that isn’t converting
• unclear messaging
• low sales confidence or weak sales process
• business systems that feel messy or overwhelming
• no clear roadmap for growth
• confusion around where AI fits into the business
• too much time spent on admin instead of revenue-building tasks

If it’s blocking your growth, I help you solve it.

What’s the difference between coaching and consulting?

Coaching helps you build skills, confidence, and clarity.
Consulting gives you strategy, direction, and action steps.

Working with me blends both. You get the support to grow as a leader and the systems and strategy to grow your business.

What happens in a typical session?

Depending on your goals, sessions can include:
• refining your messaging and ideal client
• improving your sales approach or scripts
• reviewing your marketing strategy
• building or optimizing your systems
• implementing AI workflows
• setting weekly goals and growth targets

Each session is actionable and tailored to what will move the needle most.

Do you offer in-person services or only virtual?

Most of my work is done virtually with clients across the U.S. and internationally. For businesses in San Luis Obispo County, I offer in-person strategy sessions and team workshops when needed.

AI for Business FAQs.

Do you set up the AI tools for me?

No — I don’t do the technical setup for you. Instead, I help you choose the right tools for your goals and guide you step-by-step as we set them up together. This ensures you understand how everything works and feel confident using the tools long after our sessions end. My approach empowers you to grow your skills instead of relying on outside support every time you want to adjust something.


Do you work with every AI tool on the market?

There are literally thousands of AI tools out there, with new ones launching every week, so no one can know or support all of them — and anyone who claims otherwise is… embellishing. What I do specialize in is helping you evaluate options, choose the tools that make the most sense for your business, and avoid the overwhelm of trial-and-error. You’ll learn how to identify what’s effective and what’s not so you can adapt as technology evolves.


Can you help me create prompts or build my own GPT?

Absolutely. I teach you how to write clear, effective prompts for your business tasks, and I can help you build and customize your own GPT or AI assistant. You’ll learn how to create tools that streamline your work, support your clients, and save hours each week — without needing a technical background.

AI implementation consulting

What if I don’t understand AI at all?

Most of my clients come in with little to no AI experience. I break everything down in simple, practical steps and teach you the tools that actually matter for your business. My goal is to make AI feel approachable, useful, and surprisingly easy — not overwhelming. You’ll gain confidence quickly, even if you're starting from zero.
