Together, they explore the Value Vision Model and how marketing strategies can maximize the value of your business for exit. Listen now to hear more about the success stories of Value Building Marketing and why you should come see them at the Business Transitions Summit!
Heather Steele is bridging the gap between business goals & business reality. Heather started Blue Steele Solutions in 2010 with a mission to help small businesses grow, be more efficient, and perform like the big guys. Heather saw small businesses, run by good people with amazing ideas, fail, and fail because they didn’t have the help they needed to market or grow their business successfully. Value Building Marketing is the resource businesses need to succeed.
Randi Skinner is the master of marketing, architect of sales, passionate rotarian, and the lady you need to talk to when you need to get things done! In her 15+ years of experience as a marketing and business development professional, Randi has learned the importance of developing a recognizable brand, creating relatable content, and cultivating authentic relationships throughout the community.
