What to expect

A real conversation, not a sales call.

This is a 45-minute call directly with Sara Nay, CEO of Duct Tape Marketing. She will ask about your business, where your marketing currently stands, and what you are trying to accomplish. If Strategy First makes sense for your situation, she will explain what that looks like. If it does not, she will tell you that too.

Strategy First is built for founder-led businesses doing $1M to $20M in revenue. The consultation exists to figure out whether that fit is real before either party commits to anything.
