With over 5 years of work experience, I have gained valuable insights into sales, customer service, and I am currently expanding my knowledge in marketing. Coming from a legal background, that supported my learning foundation I have supported more than 7 businesses with their marketing and business planning needs. In 2020, I ventured into entrepreneurship and also completed a business course with the National Youth Development Agency of South Africa. Two years ago, I transitioned into international sales as a Sales Development Representative for PlumGuide, working with Growth-hub, a company with a net worth of 25 million dollars. Since then, I have honed my skills in software sales, data analysis, copywriting, recruitment sales, sales psychology, and strategy. Recently, I have broadened my expertise to include customer service, making me well-equipped for the entire sales cycle. I am proficient in various tasks such as strategic account management, outreach, lead generation, profile screening, presentations, proposals, and more. In customer service, I excel in empathy, communication, adaptability, and problem-solving. While my marketing skills are still developing, I am skilled in copywriting, content creation, social media marketing, networking, analytics, email marketing, and graphic design. I have collaborated on marketing projects with medium to large enterprises in South Africa and I am eager to take on new challenges in this field. My rates in marketing are competitive, and I am ready to deliver exceptional results for your projects.

Helping health, wellness, and purpose-driven brands grow through thoughtful digital marketing that builds trust, nurtures community, and creates meaningful connections. 🤍 Marketing in the health space is different. You're not just selling a product or service - you're building trust with people who are looking for support, guidance, or care. Every piece of content matters, and every interaction helps shape how your audience experiences your brand. That's where I come in.

Hi! I'm Mercia I help entrepreneurs, coaches, and service-based businesses build the marketing systems that move people from interested to paying. What I do: Funnel Strategy & Implementation — Mapping the full customer journey, building the funnel, and making sure every piece is connected and working. Marketing Automation — Email sequences, DM workflows, and trigger-based automations so your marketing runs without you manually driving it. Email Marketing — Lead magnets, opt-in pages, and nurture sequences that grow your list and keep subscribers engaged until they're ready to buy. Digital Offer Setup & Launches — Sales pages, checkout, automated delivery, and the email sequence that sells it. Everything connected and ready to go. Conversion Tracking & Optimisation — Tracking set up so you know what's working, where people are dropping off, and what needs fixing. Systems & Workflow Building — If you have the tools but they're not talking to each other, I map and build the workflows that tie everything together. Many business owners have the offer, the audience, and the platform, but no clear system connecting them. I love bringing it all together in a managable and simple way. I've built end-to-end funnels, including websites for coaches and digital product businesses on WordPress, Squarespace, and ThriveCart, including course portals, live launch management, affiliate program setup, DM and lead follow-up systems, and tech coaching for small business owners who want to understand and run their own systems.
