    With 25+ years in strategic marketing and business growth, I've scaled companies across SaaS, E-commerce, and B2B industries, focusing on revenue acceleration and go-to-market strategies. My experience includes leading seven companies from startup to eight-figure revenues, with one reaching $18 million in four years. Currently, as Fractional CMO for a $25 million telehealth company, I drive marketing efforts to support ambitious growth and market expansion. I solve three critical challenges for CEOs and hiring managers: accelerating revenue growth, streamlining operations and building scalable go-to-market strategies. 1. Revenue Growth: Proven experience in creating data-driven marketing funnels and sales processes that attract high-quality leads and convert them efficiently. My strategies helped companies like Service.com raise multiple rounds of funding and scale their client acquisition efforts by over 200%. 2. Operational Efficiency: I help optimize internal processes to reduce costs and improve productivity. For example, by leading cross-sell and upsell initiatives and rationalizing service offerings at Certipro, I drove significant gains in revenue without additional resource strain, ensuring profitable scaling. 3. Scalable Go-to-Market Strategy: I design end-to-end marketing strategies that align with market needs, positioning, and the customer journey. With companies like Zahraa the Label, I achieved rapid growth from launch to $3 million in revenue within 18 months by leveraging an omnichannel approach that included PPC, influencer marketing, and retention email/SMS tactics. Selected Achievements: Business Scaling: Scaled 7 startups to eight-figure valuations, with several reaching up to $18 million in revenue within 2โ€“4 years. B2B E-Commerce: Grew annual recurring revenue (ARR) from $60K to $3.6 million in three years. SaaS Product Marketing: Launched a product from zero to $8 million ARR in just two years. Fortune 500 Impact: Spearheaded a new online sales channel, generating an additional $16 million in e-commerce revenue. Lead Generation: Generated over 4 million automotive and credit leads, 100,000 financial service form fills, and 10,000 SaaS and fintech leads. What I Offer: My fractional services provide executive leadership for businesses looking to scale without committing to full-time hires. In just 15 minutes, I can demonstrate the value I bring to businesses at any stage. Services Offered: Fractional Executive Leadership (CMO, CIO, CFO, CEO) Digital Marketing Audits Go-To-Market Strategy Content Strategy Brand Strategy & Messaging Real Estate Ventures ERP Strategy and Implementation Digital Product Development Industry Expertise: I have deep experience across industries, with a particular focus on SaaS, fintech, financial services, real estate, e-commerce (D2C, B2C, B2B), private equity, and startups.

    With 34 years of B2B sales expertise, I specialize in combining AI-driven automation with human expertise to create a sales process that is both highly efficient and deeply personal. AI can research prospects, automate outreach, and improve efficiency, but it is the human connection, strategic thinking, and emotional intelligence that ultimately close deals and build lasting relationships. My approach leverages AI for scale and efficiency, while ensuring that personal interaction, thoughtful follow-ups, and strategic conversations remain at the core of the sales process. By integrating AI-driven insights with real human engagement, businesses can achieve higher conversion rates, stronger client relationships, and long-term sales success. B2B Sales Leadership & AI Integration For the past 17 years, I have helped businesses grow by implementing proven sales strategies, refining outreach processes, and developing high-performing sales teams. In recent years, I have embraced AI-driven automation, allowing businesses to scale outreach and engagement while maintaining the human element that fosters trust and closes deals. Before launching my consulting practice, I spent 17 years at ADP, where I rose to Vice President of Sales and Alliances for the Tax Division, leading a team of 250 indirect reports. With deep expertise in sales leadership, AI-powered execution, and strategic engagement, I design and implement measurable, scalable sales solutions tailored to each businessโ€™s unique needs. How I Help Businesses Grow โœ… AI-Driven Sales Execution โ€“ Automating prospect research, outreach, and engagement while ensuring human connection at key touchpoints. โœ… Sales Strategy & Leadership โ€“ Defining value propositions, competitive differentiators, and outreach strategies to improve market penetration. โœ… Proven Sales Processes โ€“ Implementing structured steps of the sale to increase conversion rates, shorten sales cycles, and drive revenue growth. โœ… Sales Training & Development โ€“ Coaching teams to refine presentations, improve closing techniques, and build long-term client relationships. I bridge the gap between AI and human sales expertise, ensuring businesses maximize efficiency without sacrificing the relationships that drive long-term success. By strategically combining automation with personal engagement, I help companies create scalable, repeatable, and effective sales processes that deliver real results.

    Iโ€™m a former investment banker at Deutsche Bank Alex Brown, general partner at Silicon Valley VC Mohr Davidow Ventures, co-founder of boutique VC firm Fast Ventures, and founder of Jackson Steiner, a micro hedge/distressed real estate investment fund. Combined, this amounts to 30+ years of experience in investment banking and venture finance. Today, a few years into semi-retirement, I help founders and CEOs turn their vision into compelling big-picture stories, align stakeholders around common goals and objectives, and persuade investors to back big strategic moves. My work with clients often comprises creating high-level (i) business plans and financial models, (ii) investor decks to support Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A-D round fundraising, (iii) strategic narratives, and other high-stakes company presentations. My secret sauce is to create a narrative that evokes a sense of inspired belief among prospective investors and extends an open invitation to them to join my clientsโ€™ company stories. Naturally, this approach yields a clear edge over conventional run-off-the-mill presentations because it helps prospective investors find themselves where you want to go. Recent Client Successes: (i) Wander.com secured a combined $30 million in its Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds from top-tier VCs such as QED Investors, RedPoint, Susa Ventures, and others. They also secured a $100 million line of credit from Credit Suisse on Dec 1, 2022. (ii) Wander Atlas launched the first and only vacation rental REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) raising $100 million in an exempt Reg D offering in Q1 2023. (iii) CoinPanel closed its โ‚ฌ10 million Series A round in Q1 2023. (iv) Wellavi.com procured $10 million in growth financing from existing stakeholders and investors such as Backstage Capital and Graph Ventures. But donโ€™t take my word for it; feel free to look them up (e.g., on Crunchbase, Forbes, Bloomberg). Other clients I worked with include BMW Group, CoinPanel.com, Neil Mandt (Crime Door), OnePak, PlantLife, Sharekey, Spotify, Tzmann.com, Viddoze.com, Wander.com, Wander Atlas, Wellavi.com, and many others. I would love to hear from you to discuss your project. I'm a native English speaker. I'm fluent in German and somewhat proficient in French. So, how about it? Iโ€™m looking forward to speaking.

    ๐ŸคLet's work together to transform your run-of-the-mill raise into a MUST-DO DEAL for your dream investors. "Your first impression of a thing sets up your subsequent beliefs. If the company looks inept to you, you may assume everything else they do is inept." โ€“ Daniel Kahneman Your first impression is your PITCH DECK. It takes between a tenth of a second and 30 seconds for an investor to form a first impression about your company. First impression bias can influence decision makers to place more weight on that first impression, than information received later. ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m Arthur. I work with founders of early-stage companies to build a virtuoso PITCH DECK that makes investors fall in โค๏ธ with you at first sight.ย  Iโ€™ll build your Pitch Deck BACKWARDS so investors GET IT, LOVE IT, and GET BACK TO YOU fast.ย  5 years. 250+ Founders. 5000+ Hours. $800,000+ for me. $3,000,000,000+ for Founders who pitch my decks. I combine behavioural psychology and live performance praxis to unleash the power of a great Pitch Deck. Hereโ€™s my secret: โ†’ Itโ€™s NOT your Pitch Deckโ€™s job to raise the money. โ†’ Your Pitch Deckโ€™sย job is to win the CALLBACK. Itโ€™s the GREAT CONVERSATIONS you have on those callbacks that raise the money.ย  So, your Pitch Deck is pitching for the CALLBACK.ย  To do its job, it needs to make a great first impression, fast. โœ…It has to be SHORT โœ…It has to be VISUAL โœ…It has to PROVOKE A RESPONSE Thatโ€™s what I love to help you do. Letโ€™s work together to build an obviously awesome Pitch Deck that makes a great first impression with your dream investors + everything you need to find them, pitch them and follow them up. Letโ€™s set you up to benefit from THE PYGMALION EFFECT - which occurs when someone elseโ€™s high expectations of you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. ๐Ÿ’ฌ me to get started. P.S. Donโ€™t settle for โ€œI donโ€™t get itโ€. ๐ŸŽฏWork with me to hear: โ€œI get it. I love it. Iโ€™m in.โ€

    Youโ€™ve got a story to tell, a message to share, a legacy to leave. And you donโ€™t want just another freelancer. You want a partner. A guide. Someone who gets it. Iโ€™m that someone. For the past 10+ years, Iโ€™ve helped authors, thought leaders, coaches, and business owners get their books out of their heads and into the world with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Beautifully written, professionally packaged, and strategically launched Whether youโ€™re starting from a blank page, sitting on a messy draft, or ready to publish and promote, I meet you where you are and help you finish strong. What I Do โœ”๏ธ Ghostwriting & collaborative writing (memoirs, how-to, thought leadership) โœ”๏ธ Editing & formatting (developmental edits, line edits, clean interiors) โœ”๏ธ Book publishing setup (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, wide distribution) โœ”๏ธ Author platform + book launch strategy (email, social, promo, pre-orders) If youโ€™re ready to finally finish and publish your bookโ€”and position it as a lead-generating, authority-building, legacy-leaving assetโ€”Iโ€™ve got you. Why It Works Iโ€™ve been supporting authors, entrepreneurs, and creators for over 10 years. I'm a strategist at heart, but also a word nerd with a deep love for the creative process. Clients often say I give them clarity and confidence. They call me a โ€œbook midwifeโ€ because I donโ€™t just do the work. I walk with you, encourage you, and bring your big ideas to life. What You Can Expect โœ”๏ธ Clear deliverables + realistic timelines โœ”๏ธ Strong communication throughout โœ”๏ธ Strategic thinking + creative excellence โœ”๏ธ A finished product that reflects your voice and sells Letโ€™s Talk I believe your book should do more than just exist. It should connect, convert, and create opportunities for your readers and for you. If youโ€™re finally ready to get your book done (without the overwhelm), send me a message and letโ€™s make it happen.

    TechStars Mentor | Startup and Accelerator Advisor | London Business School MBA | $900M+ in Pre-seed to Series C+ Raises | Top-rated Investor Pitch Deck & Fundraising Specialist Did you know that only 1% of startups land funding? Founders quickly learn that developing a strong pitch is time consuming and incredibly difficult. When they do hit the road, they find that investors are almost always unresponsive, misaligned, or respond negatively. But this doesnโ€™t have to be you. I help business founders and owners stand out from the crowd, engage with the right investors, and accelerate the fundraising process through: ใƒป๐—œ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜€ that win attention. A bespoke design or redesign that combines deep expertise and proprietary methodologies to tell your story with clarity, credibility, and impact. ใƒป๐—œ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด that works. Maximize your fundraising efficiency and success with custom-researched investors whose interests and track records align with your business. ใƒป๐—ข๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ that converts. Targeted messaging, investor Q&A prep, and strategic guidance to drive connections and start conversations. Trying to navigate fundraising on your own is like learning plumbing to fix a major home issue - hire a plumber instead. Work with me to save time, effort, frustration, and exponentially boost your chances of a successful raise. I personally work on all of my engagements, so I only have bandwidth for a limited number of clients who are serious about raising capital. Message me now for a quick chat and let's see if we have a fit - this conversation just might shape the future of your business.

How to Hire Top Market Planning Specialists

MARKET PLANNING SPECIALISTS

What is market planning? 

Market planning is the practice of developing a roadmap for marketing your products and services. A marketing plan clearly outlines your marketing goals and the steps you need to take to achieve them.

Hereโ€™s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in market planning professionals:

  • Market planning
  • Market research
  • Marketing strategy
  • Communication (written, verbal, and visual).

Why do you want to hire market planning specialists?

The trick to finding top market planning specialists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to find someone to set SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) goals for a new marketing campaign? Will you require experience marketing within a specific industry such as health and wellness? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

HOW TO HIRE MARKET PLANNING SPECIALISTS

Market planning specialists can help you with the โ€œ4 Psโ€ of marketing: product, price, place, and promotion.

So how do you hire market planning specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top market planning specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist market planning professionals

As youโ€™re browsing available market planning consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a market planning specialist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., performing a SWOT analysis to highlight a marketing strategyโ€™s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what itโ€™s like to work with a particular market planning specialist.

How to write an effective market planning job post

With a clear picture of your ideal market planning specialist in mind, itโ€™s time to write that job post. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

An effective market planning job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From setting SMART goals to writing a marketing plan, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, technologies, or marketing tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

FAQS FOR HIRING MARKET PLANNING SPECIALISTS

How much does it cost to hire a market planning specialist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced market planning specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their market planning services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.

How long should you contract a market planning specialist to complete your project?

As difficult as it is to estimate how long you will need a market planning specialist, budgeting time is very important to keeping your project on track.

Be prepared to budget more time for more-demanding market planning projects. For example, creating a marketing plan for a single promotional campaign you wish to run on Facebook will take less time than developing a marketing plan for a multichannel marketing campaign.

What are the steps involved to hire market planning specialists?

Hereโ€™s how to hire market planning consultants in four simple steps:

  1. Identify your project needs, whether itโ€™s content marketing or social media marketing.
  2. Define the scope of work and write a detailed job post. Be specific about deliverables (e.g., work with the content marketing team to set SMART goals and develop a content calendar).
  3. Review proposals and shortlist potential market planning specialists for unique skills needed to bring your project to life (e.g., creating a marketing plan for a pay-per-click advertising campaign).
  4. Interview market planning talent to gauge whether theyโ€™re the right fit for your project.
