Mary Schmidt Marketing Troubleshooter

I’m not for everyone. As a marketing troubleshooter, I don’t do happy talk or give boilerplate advice. I don’t cross chasms, shift paradigms or do Powerpoint Pontifications. If you want to shake it up (and have some fun), I’ll help you look at your industry and business in new ways, from different viewpoints.

Some of My Troubleshooting Ways:

Real-Time, On-Line, All-The-Time Support Ask Mary Email Lifeline

Business Plans: Advice, Research and Renovation For some quick, free tips, download the PDF, Your Business Plan, “What If?” You can also download my one-page PDF, The One Hour Biz Plan, a quick exercise to help you focus, before writing your “real” plan.

Product Development, Launch & Management I can help you get going, keep on track…or get back on track. Tip #1: What you think is the best feature of your product may not be what your customers want, need, or will pay for. Want, Need, and Pay For are often three different things. Tip #2: Effective pricing models take a lot more than mathematically correct spreadsheets.

“Mary Schmidt rolls up her sleeves to provide what’s needed for success, from initial analysis to launch.” - Mike Marett, Executive Vice President, Numerex

Channel Programs (Tip: Wanting to distribute through third parties? The big boys may not be your best choice.)

“When I started a new high tech company I brought in Mary to help out with channel marketing - and have never looked back. Thanks, Mary!” - Bruce Fryer, co-founder Digisense, Inc.

Emarketing. Not sure where to start with emarketing? That’s where I can help.

“I wish I’d talked with Mary before diving into the design of my new web site. She could have saved me many hours and a lot of money. She gave me recommendations in non-techie language that were designed to give me results.” - Martha Doster, Martha’s Body Bueno
