Expertise
I can answer questions about all marketing although my specialty is Guerrilla Marketing. If you don't have the budget of Wal-Mart, you need Guerrilla Marketing. If you're not familiar with Guerrilla Marketing, the premise is that you can do what the big boys do, but less expensively, if you're willing to use your time, energy, and creativity.
Experience
42 years of experience marketing companies that I have founded, developed and sold, starting with my research and typing service for college students when I was 10.
