Need a Consultant?

Ask Me Anything (Except About Hiring, Firing, or Poetry)

Since 1985, I’ve been neck-deep in the window covering, window tinting, and window cleaning industries. Not just dabbling — actually building, scaling, and selling real businesses.

• Built and sold a window cleaning business to 4,000+ customers (back when having a pager made you high-tech). The Brand Name was Two Twins From Texas. Got tons of free publicity. 
• Built and sold a blind cleaning business with 4,500+ clients.
• Manufactured and sold over 1,000 mobile blind cleaning trailers as full business opportunities.
• Built two window covering businesses from scratch. Mini Blinds N' More and Shutter Nation
• Founded the Blind Brokers Network — helping 300+ people start their own window covering companies.
• Created a buying group that pulled in over $20 million a year.

Then the 2009 apocalypse hit. Instead of crying into my sample books, I pivoted into online marketing and launched ExSeed Marketing — a smarter, low-cost way for independent pros to crush it online with professional websites, real SEO, and Google Ads that actually work.

My specialty? Strategic marketing and branding — because "random acts of marketing" is not a business plan.

How Consulting Works (Spoiler: It’s Not Free Unless You’re Already a Client)

If you’re not an ExSeed Marketing client yet (bless your heart), consulting is $400/hour with a 4-hour minimum.

If you are a website/SEO/Google Ads client? Good news — consulting is FREE. Congratulations on making wise life choices.

You can ask me anything about:

• Strategic marketing
• Branding
• Lead generation
• Growing and scaling
• Not looking clueless online

Except for hiring, firing, and anything involving poetry. Those doors are firmly closed.

Why Book Consulting?

Because guessing is not a strategy. And hope is not a marketing plan.

Let’s build a real strategy, fix your brand, and actually grow your business — without you feeling like you’re duct-taping everything together.

• The $4,000 Website That Costs $299/Month

  Quick story. A window covering retailer called me last week and said, “Steve… my website looks nice, but it’s not doing anything.” Translation: it’s an online brochure. Pretty. Useless. Like a business card taped to the internet. So I asked one […]
