I show independent business owners how to beat the big brands.

If you are a small or independent business owner and want to grow your business and outcompete the big brands and franchises, then you’re in the right place.

My name is Ted Yeatts, and I’ve spent my career outcompeting the big guys in some of the most competitive markets around. Now, I show business owners from every industry how to do the same thing without wasting more marketing dollars on strategies that simply don’t work for most businesses. Check out my free resources below to learn more.

If you are an independent business owner, chances are you’ve asked yourself this question before:

How do I outcompete the big brands and franchises in my market with their huge advertising budgets?

Believe it or not, the answer is not more advertising. The answer is to create a customer experience so remarkable and compelling that people can’t help but be drawn to your business. Imagine having an army of raving, loyal customers who will enthusiastically refer you; a motivated, engaged staff (with no shortage of people who want to join your team) and a dramatic increase in your revenues and profits. It’s possible, but it can seem like an overwhelming task.

I know, because I’ve been there. After turning around dozens of independent businesses, outcompeting the big guys in some of the most competitive markets around, and winning multiple awards for outstanding customer experience, I’ve developed a strategy specifically designed for small to medium-sized, independent businesses that makes the process understandable, doable, and affordable.

Most importantly, though, I can help you get the results you want. In fact, my top performing clients increased their net profits nearly 50% in just one year.
