Craft your customized 2024 marketing strategy like a GIRL BOSS in a unique group coaching program setting and gain access to a network of like-minded small biz owners.
Together, Let’s Build a Supportive Community of Women Entrepreneurs
Are you tired of sitting behind your laptop screen trying to market and grow your small business all alone?
Listen, I get it because I’ve been there. It is really frustrating to operate in a silo. You may find yourself second guessing your marketing choices or never really knowing if your promotional efforts are actually moving the needle forward for your business.
Being a small business owner can be overwhelming and lonely at times.
That is exactly why I designed the Girl Boss Marketplace group coaching program with these very challenges in mind. I want to ensure that every women entrepreneur has the expert marketing support needed to craft a marketing game plan for the year.
Not only will you customize a strategy that will create a foundational roadmap for your content, collaborations, pop ups and more, but you will also be connected to like-minded GIRL BOSSES to stay accountable to those goals.
Witness for yourself that you’re not all alone in the race and start making business besties for life!
Isn’t it time that you had a Coach and a team in your corner to get you through the hard times? Or be there popping the champagne with you when its time to celebrate all your wins?
I can’t wait to go on this journey together, Girl Boss. See you inside the program and lets make 2024 the best year yet!

“I have loved meeting all of the amazing fellow girl bosses in this program and the network just keeps growing! Working with Coach Melissa has really helped me to improve talking to my customers in-person. I received so many amazing compliments for my work and made many new business connections. I learned so many new marketing avenues that could continue to benefit my business and myself as a Girl Boss!”

“The Girl Boss Marketplace opened me to so many new opportunities that I can continue to grow my business. I learned a lot too! I learned that my customers are so diverse. I am more clear about my target audience and that all ages are attracted to my jewelry. I have adjusted how I market my pieces for future pop up events.
I also had several local business owners with storefronts ask to collaborate with me. That got me a little emotional. I was definitely not expecting that! It has now given me so many new ideas. None of this would have happened if I didn’t cross Coach Melissa’s path.
My confidence for selling in person from the morning of the marketplace went from zero to the moon by the end. Thank you, thank you!!”
