HINGE

Dave Streen · Marketing Strategy

You are one decision away from a much bigger number.

From the inside, it is almost impossible to see. Finding that one decision is what I do. I have started more than 150 companies, and the biggest wins were never a new campaign. They were a hinge the owner was already sitting on and could not see.

The Work

I am not an agency. I find the hinge.

Agencies sell you more. More ads, more funnels, more content, more work. I sell you less, and charge you more, because less is harder to see. One sentence you already owned. One number you were undercharging. One position your competitors left wide open.

Little hinges swing big doors. Once we find yours, you do not lift the heavy parts. My team builds the site, the campaign, and the materials. You make one decision. We carry the rest.

Proof

I would rather show you than tell you.

Anand Dugar

One question over coffee

A Genius Network Annual Event. Anand was frustrated that his clients only cared about two things, price and speed. I asked how he actually stacked up. Without a blink: We are the fastest and the cheapest, and he could prove it. One question back. Do you tell them that? Silence. His team changed his website in under fifteen minutes. It tripled his business.

I did not give him a strategy. I just helped him see what they were all missing.

Anond later told one of the originals that I took him from 250K to 750K. Then he paused, and added one word. Monthly.

Jack Bucknell

Same hands, same dents

Jack was a dent repair tech charging about a hundred dollars a repair, the same as everyone around him. We worked on what his skill was actually worth and how to ask for it without flinching. During our coaching, Jack closed his first thousand dollar repair.

The only thing that changed was what he believed he was allowed to charge.

The Fit

I take very few people. And only people I like.

I do the strategy myself, so my time is genuinely limited. That lets me be picky in a way most firms cannot afford to be. I say yes to people I want to spend time with, on problems worth solving, where I will learn something too. My clients tend to become friends. More than a few have told me they love me, and meant it.

It is also a good time. This does not have to feel like managing one more vendor. We think hard, we move fast, and we laugh more than you would expect. You will leave most of our conversations with more clarity than you have had in years.

The Next Step

The Hinge Session

Where every engagement begins

We get on a call, I get deep into your business, and you leave with your hinge and the plan to swing it. If it makes sense for both of us, my team and I build it from there.

Clients have turned a single session into swings worth six and seven figures. The session is the cheapest part.

My risk, not yours. If you do not leave with at least one move worth more than the session, you do not pay for it.
