Is This Right for You?

You’ve Built Real Revenue. Marketing Shouldn’t Be the Thing Holding You Back.

You’re running a $3–20M B2B service company. Revenue is real. But your marketing is scattered — reactive, inconsistent, with no system tying it together. You know it needs to get better. You’re just not sure how.

You hired a marketing person. Now what?

No system, no plan. You’ve become the bottleneck and you don’t have time for that.

Marketing is happening, nothing is working.

Posting, spending, guessing. No coherent strategy connecting any of it.

You don't want to outsource forever.

You want to own the strategy and build something that lasts.

Coaching is a strong fit if you…

  • Have (or are hiring) a dedicated marketing person
  • Want to build internal capability, not outsource indefinitely
  • Run on EOS or a structured operating framework
  • Have a sales team and want marketing aligned to your pipeline
  • Are willing to commit to a system, not just tactics
  • Want to own your marketing, not rent it

The Wayfind Marketing System

This Is a System, Not a Service

Most agencies sell activity. We build a system your team runs. Five integrated components — coaching teaches your team to own all of them.

01

The GUIDE™ Framework

Five-phase implementation

02

The Revenue Team

All roles aligned as one

03

The TRUST Ethos

AI-era content authority

04

The Content Engine

One interview, one quarter

05

The GUIDE™ Scorecard

Quarterly maturity tracking

What’s Included

A Coaching Engagement Built Around Your Business

Every engagement is tailored to where you are. Here’s what a Full GUIDE System coaching relationship includes.

Day 1 Strategy Workshop

A full-day working session aligning leadership, marketing, and sales on your ICP, core messaging, and direction before coaching begins.

Weekly Marketing Manager Coaching

One-hour sessions with your marketing manager — reviewing progress, providing training, removing blockers, and planning the week ahead.

Monthly CEO Check-In

Connect marketing activity to business goals. Review KPIs, discuss priorities, and make informed decisions on what’s working.

Monthly Sales Alignment Meeting

Feed buyer questions into content planning, review pipeline together, and train your sales team on content-enabled selling.

Quarterly 90-Day Planning

GUIDE Scorecard review, quarterly content theme, and 90-day goal-setting. Your team leads this from Q5 onward.

Tools, Templates, and AI Training

AI prompt libraries, the Wayfind Content Engine, and a 24-month roadmap. Compresses the learning curve from 6–12 months to 4–8 weeks.

The Process

How the Coaching Engagement Works

1

Day 1 Strategy Workshop

Align leadership, marketing, and sales on your ICP, messaging, and direction before coaching begins.

2

Build the Foundation

Q1–Q2: Generate and Upgrade phases — strategy, messaging, digital foundation.

3

Run the System

Q3 onward: cyclical rhythm — Inform, Develop, Evaluate, Repeat. Compounds over time.

4

Graduate

Your team owns and runs the system independently. Wayfind moves to an advisory role.

Coaching Investment

Choose Your Path

Both options run on the same Wayfind Marketing System. The difference is depth of engagement and your team’s current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coaching

How is coaching different from a marketing consultant?

Most consultants deliver a plan and leave. Our coaching is ongoing and accountable — we stay with you through execution, help your team build real skills, and adjust the strategy as you learn what’s working. It’s a partnership, not a project.

Do I need a marketing person on my team to start?

For the Full GUIDE System, yes — we coach a person, not just a company. If you’re actively hiring your first marketing person, we can start the engagement and onboard them into it. Entry-Level Coaching works for CEOs managing marketing themselves while building toward that hire.

How long does a coaching engagement last?

The Full GUIDE System is an 18–24 month engagement with a defined endpoint: graduation. That’s the point where your team owns and runs the system independently. Entry-Level coaching is open-ended with an expected upgrade within 6–9 months.

What if I need more hands-on execution support?

Many coaching clients add Agency Track services — website work, SEO management, or content writing — alongside their coaching engagement. We can build an arrangement that fits your capacity and budget.

What industries do you work with?

We specialize in B2B service companies: professional services, consulting, technology, safety, accounting, and financial services. If you’re selling a service to other businesses with $3–20M in revenue, we’re built for you.

Do you work with EOS companies?

Yes — and EOS companies are often our best fit. The GUIDE Framework maps directly to EOS rhythms: marketing priorities tie to Rocks, our scorecard feeds your scorecard, and quarterly planning aligns with your L10 structure. We plug in, not pile on.
