“Denise separates the signal from the noise.”
As a former NFL player transitioning into the business world, I faced the challenge of translating my high performance on the field into viable revenue streams off the field.
Denise immediately evaluated what was working, what wasn't working, and identified additional opportunities for me to explore. She challenged me to think differently and get to the heart of why people wanted to do business with me -- what she calls "value hacking."
As a result, I've attracted my dream clients and established a strong foundation for sustainable growth in the private equity, venture capital and family office arenas.
The strategies we developed together have had a measurable impact on my bottom line.
If you're looking to separate the signal from the noise, I highly recommend working with Denise. Her ability to both see the bigger picture and zero in on specific strategies that actually move the needle, combined with her genuine curiosity and commitment to your success, is a game-changer. It's an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

“Denise helped me understand what business I was in, raise millions in venture capital and reach millions in recurring revenue.”
Charlie Wood, Serial Entrepreneur
“When I started Spanning Cloud Apps, I had a pretty clear idea of who my customer was: somebody like me. I was completely wrong. And the middling results of my business showed that.
Luckily, I hired Denise and with her guidance, found the true answers to two fundamental questions: “who are my customers?” and “why do they care?”
Knowing the answers to these two questions enabled me to build a business with multimillion-dollar annual recurring revenues, raise millions of dollars in venture capital, and ultimately sell my company for 8 figures.
Denise helped me to identify my blind spots and fill in the gaps in my view of my own business. Only after I understood who my customers were and why they cared did I truly know what business I was in. I was then able to offer the right product through the right channels at the right price to the right buyers, and my business took off.
But Denise’s questions aren’t just about sales and marketing. Knowing their answers enabled me to demonstrate to potential investors that I had a deep understanding of my own business, and that investing in it would be a good bet.
Armed with that knowledge I raised $9m across two rounds of funding from a top-tier VC firm (Foundry Group) and a giant international international strategic investor (EMC corporation). And being right about those answers led to my company’s eventual acquisition by EMC.

“I finally know exactly what to say to sell my best prospects…”
“I hired Denise because I was struggling to speak to my ideal customer. I was all over the place trying to appeal to too many types of buyers and had attracted some of the wrong candidates. I knew I needed help but was unsure of where to start. Denise helped me narrow in on what my customers really buy from me and do the deep work in my marketing research and offers. Her final report honed in on what I should say to my ideal customers and why my services are the best solution. I loved her fresh messaging angles, words and phrases that I can work into my marketing campaigns. I am thrilled and cannot wait to go into my next launch armed with this plan. I walked away with 100% confidence in how, what and to whom I'm speaking. I know I can attract this person now! This is the key to business I’d been looking for. So so SO thankful for Denise's help.”
