Hi, I'm Laura Benjamin, a marketing coach in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Since 1997, I've helped business owners simplify and improve their marketing efforts online and in person.

How could I can help you?

  • ...create strategies to build your customer, client or membership list using online and personal methods
  • ...get your website to the top of the search and keep it there without "pay per click" or paid placement
  • ...learn the basics of starting a website, even if you are a non-tekkie
  • ...develop online magazines, newsletters and blogs
  • ...prepare for public presentations including audience interaction, visual aids and handout materials
  • ...publish educational materials that promote you or your business
  • ...teach you how to write, market, record and edit your own podcasts or teleclasses

How do I work with my clients?

First, please call me at 719-266-8088 and we'll have a chat. We'll talk about your needs and goals. We may even discuss a preliminary Action Plan so you can get some ideas down on paper right away.

Then, you decide how you prefer to work together. I strive to be flexible, so here are some ways clients say it works best for them:

  • a "package" of coaching sessions which might also include some writing, blog set up, website coaching, etc.
  • a "flat rate" based on what the budget allows
  • on an "as needed" basis at an hourly rate
  • on a "month-to-month" basis where we set a flat rate depending on needs and schedule

That's about all there is to it! When you're ready, please call me at 719-266-8088 and we'll chat about your situation and if it's a good fit, we'll go from there!

Thank you for the sound business development advice you delivered for The Moot House Restaurant in Fort Collins, Colorado. I like your approach. You have an extremely insightful, intuitive and unique perspective to help our business improve customer relationships and get better exposure in the marketplace.

In particular, I really appreciated your observations on our websites. Your suggestions were in layman's terms and represented the guest's perspective, not a web designer. We discussed how to modify our sites to be more easily found on the Internet, effective use of popular keyword phrases, how to identify guest search habits and the need to add more content to attract visitors. You pointed out how to improve Austin's website pages to maximize directions to each location and how to look at the site from the out of town guest's perspective.

You also made recommendations on a shopping cart system to provide gift certificates and gift cards for purchase online, one of our most popular offerings. You pointed out the pro's and con's of our ability to take more control of our websites by purchasing the software to do it ourselves. Since you learned how to develop your own websites, have taken numerous pages to the top of Google in less than two weeks without paying a fee and you're not a tekkie. It gives me great confidence we can follow your lead!

Paul Schickler, Managing Partner, The Moot House Restaurant, Fort Collins CO

"The mystery shops done by Laura Benjamin and her team were extremely beneficial in allowing us to look at our business through another set of eyes. Based on feedback from those shops, we made several changes in how we operated our branches. It is very easy to get in the habit of looking at your business the same old way and never realizing how your customers perceive you and what you do. The mystery-shopping program Laura and her crew offered provided a valuable second opinion as to how we could improve and become more competitive. It helped us stay sharp. I would certainly recommend the program." Mark Dunsmoor, Former President, Peoples National Bank, Colorado Springs CO, now President, Colorado East Bank & Trust, Pueblo CO

Dear Laura, I had to write and tell you how much you helped me with my business! You are truly an amazing coach. When I first started working with one of my clients, I had reservations about a particular project. Do I have the correct tools and skills to serve my client? Guess what? You answered and solved all of my challenges! You helped me find and become educated with the necessary assessments to help my client reach their goals, and guided me to build my confidence with my skills. I learned I had the skills, but simply needed a coach to help me discover them within myself. Thank you again for helping me develop another area of my business successfully! Wishing you all the best, Marguerite Ham, Professional Speaker & Consultant, memorease.com

Dear Laura, Thank you so much for your inspiring and creative ideas that have made the Basics of Investing an even better class. Your insight into how to relate complex concepts by adding graphs instead of words, and using humorous pictures to drive home important points were invaluable. I asked you to help me add humor to the presentation. You did that and much much more. Your professional communication and marketing skills have changed this class for the better and I am deeply grateful. Rita I. Janaky, President, Golden Hills Financial Group, LLC
