Tech Management and Strategy

Raise your hand if this sounds like you:

  • You're ready to delegate management of your email marketing, membership and/or course because you are just over it all.
  • You have a killer idea for a course but no idea where to start to set it up.
  • You want to offer content upgrades and opt-ins but the backend of that seems terrifying and daunting.
  • You want to offer above-average service your customers but you’re overwhelmed by all of the technical details involved.
  • You have multiple products and services that you’d love to run on autopilot but have no clue how to funnel customers through the process in an automated way.
  • You fear you may actually be allergic to things that sound too technical.
  • You procrastinate on getting sh*t done if it involves too many technical tasks.
  • You struggle to make important technical decisions for your business because you’re not entirely sure what the decision entails.
  • You’re ready to really kickstart your business growth and you know that starts with some tech wizardry.
  • You have the content and audience and are ready for someone else to step in and take on the create the membership or course.

If your hand is held high right now, you need another set of hands to come in and, well, handle all of this (and more).

My Tech Strategy service is exactly that.

This goes way beyond VA support and into strategic support territory. I become a consulting member of your team, your goals become my goals; your tech becomes my top priority.

Melissa is THE BEST. Let me count the ways. She’s whip smart, will figure just about anything out, and, most importantly, gives me 100% confidence that everything that needs to get done will get done and on time. I never have to ask. There’s no greater relief when you’re running a team and everybody’s part matters. She’s super helpful, very responsive, resourceful as hell, and a sponge for learning. I can’t imagine a better person for my team to handle all my tech and more.

As a small business owner, Melissa has been a fantastic partner. She's been a great tactical asset - helping me set up email campaigns or a new WordPress page - but most importantly she's been a strategic thought partner to me, helping me think through where to invest my time and money in different online areas or products. She'll tell me not to do something, which is priceless, and introduce me to tools and strategies that I never knew about - like a text to opt-in tool for my latest presentation. I'd highly recommend Melissa for any small business.

Working with Melissa has been one of the best business decisions I've ever made. I originally hired her to help me with my email platform (ConvertKit) but it didn't take long before I asked her to take on much more. From website management, updates and troubleshooting to managing my year-long digital offering, A Simple Year, Melissa has not only freed up lots of my time to focus on the things I do best, but she's also treated my business like her own. She interacts with my clients and keeps me in the loop without overwhelming me with details. When I work on a project with Melissa, I don't have to micromanage or even check-in. She runs with it, gives me thoughtful updates and feedback and also presents great solutions when she runs into any roadblocks. From course management, Facebook Ads, website help or anything you need, I highly recommend working with Melissa!
