Why join Smashing Self-Employment?
What they say about Smashing Self-Employment:
Karl has been super helpful in helping me get savvy with marketing my business. He has been particularly good at proving practical support to shift language in my marketing collateral (website etc) so that potential customers connect better with who we are and what we are about.
If you are wondering whether or not to join Smashing Self-Employment, jump in you won’t regret it. Karl is a breath of fresh air in an industry that is full of mediocrity. He is incredibly knowledgable, has really clear strategies and techniques which is seeing my business go from strength to strength.
Karl is an absolute wealth of knowledge. We talked about subscription business models, pricing and customer engagement. He was able to bring massive value to my situation and after 1 session together I’ve come away with a new vision for what’s possible to take my business to the next level. Highly recommend.
