If any of this sounds familiar — and you’re ready to change course — keep scrolling to see how I help

You’re a trained or platform-certified expert who’s been selling website or business automation services B2B for 2+ years with some great client results, but you’re caught in a sales slump you can’t seem to break free from.

People are ghosting you once you mention your rate or send over your proposal or contract, despite telling you they’re excited to move forward.

You’re making decisions and changing things willy-nilly, (and if you’re honest, you don’t want to spend another day acting on random advice or grasping at straws to determine what’s been keeping your people from buying).

You’re discounting your services and still few people are buying (or you may not be winning any clients at all).

You want what you say to be insightful and stand out to your prospective clients, but when you join groups where your target audience is gathered you end up being a “lurker” because you feel like you have nothing new or different to say.

You want to step up your game to attract a higher-level client who will happily pay you premium rates, look to you for answers, and trust you to lead their project. Still, you’re attracting mostly people who doubt nearly everything you say, balk at your rates, and just want you to take orders.

Hi! I’m Grace.

I’m a card-carrying introvert (INFJ) who enjoys reading, research, and road trips. And during warm weather months, when I’m not working, I love taking to the open road with my husband on the back of his Harley!🥰

When I AM working, I liken what I do—fact-finding and dot-connecting—to a kind of “detective work” (I also enjoy jigsaw puzzles, crime dramas, whodunnits, and psychological thrillers).

I was first introduced to the role and practice of competitor research in pricing products and identifying untapped market opportunities while supporting the Marketing Director of a local parking management company.

Later while studying Marketing at NYU and working on a temporary assignment at the global headquarters of one of the world’s leading beauty companies, I acquired a deeper knowledge of the role and practice of market research, especially when developing new products.

The marketing and competitor research projects I completed helped my team successfully bring new world-class products to market.

In later roles as a senior technical writer, trainer, and IT Subject Matter Expert (SME), my research contributions enabled my employers to build and deploy new proprietary software and systems that improved business performance and met government website compliance requirements.

I also used the data and insights I gathered to design and write a wide range of content to educate, raise awareness, and support strategic planning, website development, proprietary software development, and sales initiatives.

I earned my first income online in 2002, selling an ebook I wrote to help affiliates of a now-defunct ad service increase their sales. I also built a membership site that was profitable and active until 2007.

Desiring to offer professional web services, I returned to college in 2006, and in 2010 I founded A Bright I Creative LLC immediately upon completing my design program.

For the first seven years, I generated revenue primarily through ad sales on my blog and as a human-centered builder/caretaker of WordPress websites for small churches and brick-and-mortar businesses in the U.S.

As I watched the market for website services continue to shift and become more commoditized, I realized my zone of genius and interests better aligned with supporting trained, lead-role digital service professionals in their efforts to differentiate and position their offers, especially to the U.S. business market.

So drawing on those fact-finding and dot-connecting strengths, skills, and abilities I’d acquired through formal training and experience, I undertook a complete “business reboot.”

Today, I provide target market research and B2B marketing consulting services to established professionals selling human-centered web, automation, training, consulting, and other business “growth” services to small businesses and nonprofits in the U.S. market.

I’ve experienced what developing, buying, and selling products and services to consumers and businesses in the U.S. market is like as a private sector employee, government contract worker, freelance service professional, and business owner.

I’ve seen and experienced the role research plays in making plans succeed, and I’ve seen (and personally experienced) the pain of defeat when it’s skipped or gathered and used incorrectly.

I love giving my clients the tools to confidently make evidence-based decisions that capitalize on profitable opportunities they’ve yet to discover.

My collaborative research methods ALWAYS uncover hidden insights my clients need to learn to get unstuck and move forward.

They’ve filled significant knowledge gaps about their chosen slice of the U.S. market and reached their marketing and sales goals faster and with less expense than they would have, working alone in the blind.

Grace is an angel to work with. Before working with her, I didn’t know how to position my web services. With so many people offering the same things as me, it was a challenge to stand out.

One of the biggest benefits I received was how to position myself to my target audience, without sounding like my competitors. If I had to do it on my own, I would not have covered as much ground as I did with Grace.

Now, I can confidently create my content calendar, I know exactly what to say because I know something that my prospects don’t know, and my own competitors are clueless about. It is empowering to be able to meet business owners at their eye level, giving them insights and even business strategies THEY hadn’t considered.

I recommend that if you have the skill and talent, but hate the ‘marketing’ bits because you sound like everyone else, then you need to jump off the fence and work with Grace. I got a whole new business!

If you need support with business strategy, content marketing, positioning, niche finding and clarity, high-level research to support your business direction, Grace is the person to reach out to.
