BRAD MARTINEAU
Entrepreneur Coach
Yo. I'm Brad. Welcome to my bio. :)
I've been married for 23 years, I have 5 kids, 1 son-in-law and a granddaughter on the way. I love fitted hats and playing and coaching basketball.
On the business side of things, I help entrepreneurs with their automation and their client journeys. For most of them, using automation tools like HighLevel, Keap, ActiveCampaign, etc. is time consuming and often overwhelming and frustrating. And in most cases they don't end up getting the results they want. We change that.
First, we help entrepreneurs and their teams get clear on what they should do, rather than getting lost in what they could do. Then we show them how to plan and implement in a fraction of the time.
And lastly we help them dial in their reporting so they know what is performing and what's not. We call it creating a Happy Client Factory™ so you can get the right clients, turn them into fans, and the whole thing runs like clockwork.
