A note for St. Louis business owners
Hello, you.
You never work hard. Everyone notices everything you do. And you definitely don't need any more free time.
Right?
I'm Ryan. I'm not here to sell you anything. I'd like to get to know you and your business, and find out if there's a way I can help. Maybe there isn't. We'd both find out.
Owners get to relax all day.
You're not also the job creator, the roofer, the secretary, the counselor and ten other people just to keep the lights on. Nope. Not you.
The idea
I'd really like to get to know you.
If you run a local business in St. Louis, Missouri, and your business has a storefront or a physical location, I'd really like to get to know you. I mean that, too.
I don't want to pitch you something. I need to spend time getting to know you, your business, and just an overall sense of what you're about.
I'm not talking about some boring, long, drawn-out talk either. We'd meet somewhere simple and informal where we can shoot the breeze. I don't want to pressure you, and I don't want you to feel like I'm here to shove a solution down your throat.
My promise
I'll think about you and your goals. Deeply.
I might be able to help you grow, or otherwise improve how your business shows up. But I won't know until we meet.
So I'd start with a few icebreakers, like the ones on the card. You can ask me anything back. That's only fair.
Things I'd ask you first
- Why did you start the company?
- How does it help, or fill a need, for people?
- What's holding back your dream for it?
After you say hello
Here's what happens. All of it.
- You get an automatic email right away, so you know your note landed.
- Then I get back to you myself. A call, a text or an email, whichever you picked.
- We find a time and somewhere simple.
- We talk. I mostly listen.
- If I see a way to help, I'll tell you plainly. If I don't, I'll tell you that too.
The fine print
There isn't much.
This isn't a promise to help. It's a biz friend request.
You won't find prices on this site. That's not a trick. I don't know what you need yet, so there's nothing to put a number on.
If we hit it off, you're gonna win. If we don't, you still win: time spent thinking about your needs, at no cost.
So. Want to talk?
Pick whatever's easiest. I answer my own phone.
