Jerry Smith’s Summary

One of the key challenges for a small business owner is attracting quality clients to the business on a consistent basis.

Most of us set up a practice or business because of a passion we have to deliver something of real value. The assumption is that we are good at whatever we do and want to make that a career. It can be frustrating and demoralizing to find out after 12 month or less that this expertise isn't enough to make the business really fly.

The result is harder work, stress and eventually can lead to business closure. That is a tragedy for all involved. My passion is to help business owners and independent professionals figure out this marketing "thing" so they have the clients flowing into their business.

Jerry Smith’s Experience

Co- Founder

Marketing Action Club

(Marketing and Advertising industry)

October 2007 — Present (2 years 2 months)

As a small business owner it is frustrating trying to grow when you can't seem to pull in enough great clients consistently. Over the years I have seen this stuggle with many of my clients and colleagues.

That's why my business partners and I decided to start the Marketing Action Club and create the Get More Great Clients marketing course. We're focused on helping other service-based businesses that struggle to implement effective marketing.
