Strategy Sessions with Chris

Senior Strategy On Demand — $1,500/hr.

Book à-la-carte time with Chris Heidlebaugh — a Digital Marketing Coach with 20+ years of experience — to pressure-test a decision, plan a launch, review a vendor, or solve one specific marketing problem. No retainers. No upsell. Just senior input you can act on today.

Strategy Sessions are à-la-carte time with Chris — book one when you need senior input on a specific problem. Most owners take the $497 audit first so each session is spent executing, not diagnosing.

✓ Focused strategy time   ✓ Actionable plan included   ✓ No retainers

Chris Heidlebaugh — 1-on-1 marketing coach for service businesses

Sound Familiar?

  • You're spending money on ads but can't tell if they're actually working
  • Your agency sends reports full of metrics that mean nothing to you
  • You know you need a better marketing strategy — but don't know where to start
  • You've been burned by vendors who overpromise and underdeliver
  • Your website gets traffic but almost no leads or calls

You don't need another agency. You don't need another course. You need one hour with someone who's been doing this for 20+ years and can tell you exactly what to fix.

What You Walk Away With

This isn't a vague "let's brainstorm" call. You leave with specific, actionable answers.

A Clear Marketing Plan

Know exactly which channels to invest in, what to cut, and what to prioritize — based on your specific business and budget.

Budget Clarity

Understand where every marketing dollar is going and whether it's generating a return. No more guessing.

Growth Roadmap

A step-by-step plan for the next 30, 60, and 90 days — so you know exactly what to do when the call ends.

Vendor Accountability

Find out if your agency or freelancers are actually delivering results — or just billing you for busywork.

Quick Wins

Identify the fastest, cheapest changes you can make right now to start getting more leads and customers.

Time Back

Stop spending hours researching marketing tactics. Get answers from a veteran who's already tested what works.

Each session is 60 minutes of focused, no-fluff strategy — enough time to dig into your biggest challenge and leave with a clear plan.

Who is this for?

Business owners spending money on marketing but not sure what's working. If you're tired of guessing, this session gives you clarity.
