Derek sits down with Sarah Noel Block, the brains behind Tiny Marketing and the Tiny Marketing Club—a go-to resource for indie consultants who want smart, simple marketing that actually drives business (without the overwhelm).
They unpack Sarah’s journey from the corporate world to building a business on her own terms. You’ll hear how she turned a layoff during the recession into a springboard for entrepreneurship, how she ditched the agency grind for a membership model, and why she believes less but better is the future of marketing.
This one’s packed with real strategies—like Sarah’s “biz dev blitz” to fill your pipeline fast, how to reverse-engineer your revenue goals, and why micro-yeses in your sales process can seriously boost conversions.
