Thanks to Nikki, I feel like I have a good foundation in how to make marketing make sense for me and my business.
I've been running my own music lesson business for a long time, and I've always kind of struggled with the marketing aspect of running a business, and recently I got kind of fed up with my own attempts and decided to hire Nikki, and it's been awesome. Not only has she given me some kind of concrete goals and just kind of methods of how to get people through the door, but she's also helped me develop kind of a marketing mindset and has given me tools and just ways to think about the big picture and how to set goals long into the future so that marketing makes sense now, and I'm already seeing results just from, you know, doing this for a little while, but thanks to Nikki, I feel like I have a good kind of foundation in how to make marketing make sense for me and my business, and yeah, I'm really grateful. Thank you, Nikki
