Business Coaching and Consulting for Bergen, Morris & Surrounding Counties

Running a small business today means wearing too many hats and trying to keep up with a constantly changing digital landscape. That’s where personalized business coaching makes a real difference.

I work with local small business owners, Etsy sellers, and service providers throughout Bergen, Morris, and surrounding counties, helping them cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives growth. Each session is practical, focused, and built around your business—not a generic one-size-fits-all program.

Together, we zero in on key areas like email marketing, SEO, Google visibility, reputation management, and more so you can build momentum, increase visibility, and grow with confidence.

All coaching sessions are held via Zoom, so you get flexible, expert guidance tailored to your exact needs.

Email Marketing Strategy and Implementation

Email marketing is one of the most cost-effective ways to grow and retain your customer base. Through personalized coaching, we help small businesses build sustainable strategies that boost engagement, sales, and customer loyalty.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create professional, attractive newsletters that reflect your brand
  • Read and interpret analytics to make smart decisions (reach, open rates, clicks, revenue, engagement patterns)
  • Match your messaging to your specific audience—whether retail, real estate, or service-based
  • Integrate email marketing with your website or e-commerce store (including WooCommerce + Mailchimp setups)
  • Build and promote your subscriber list organically using soft marketing tactics on your site

 

Etsy Shop SEO and Business Growth

For Etsy sellers, a well-optimized shop can make the difference between slow trickle sales and steady growth. Through personalized coaching, we help you position your shop for visibility, credibility, and stronger sales performance.

Google Business Profile Optimization

Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. Through focused coaching, we help you optimize your profile to boost visibility, build local authority, and attract new clients.

Organic SEO is the backbone of sustainable online growth. Through focused coaching, we help you strengthen your website’s visibility so your business gets found by the right audience.

You’ll learn how to:
