Click to Client

I started my first business when I was 9 years old. It was a gift wrap selling business, and I used to spend hours flipping through the catalog and feeling the silky samples. I could tell azure blue from shocking red with my eyes closed. The business was a flop, but I learned three important lessons.

  • Never hire your six year old sister as your assistant-even if she works for candy.
  • Don’t make sales calls using the Yellow Pages.
  • Your parents will only buy so much gift wrap before their customer satisfaction level drops.
The lessons didn’t exactly stop there. I went on to start and build 3 successful businesses, but nothing was greater than the thrill of marketing them online. What most people hated or didn’t understand (marketing), I loved. Go figure.

Since launching Click to Client, LLC (formerly known as After The Launch), I have helped dozens of companies leverage the internet to attract more clients and increase profits.

These days you can find me on the national speaking circuit (…speaking about online marketing and social media marketing), on Twitter, and on Facebook. And of course, working with our FABULOUS clients from my office in Dallas, Texas.

In my free time, I enjoy working (no, really, I am addicted to my work!), spending time with my family (this includes my puppy, Snoopy, a.k.a. the office mascot), reading (I read a book a day-no, I am not joking), and watching movies.
