Tiny Marketing: B2B Marketing for the Rule-Breakers.

Send us Fan Mail

Most consulting advice skips the messy truth: many of us don’t “launch” a business so much as we stumble into it, say yes to subcontracting, and rely on relationships long before we have a neat offer menu. Sarah Noel Block sits down with product marketing strategist Marjorie Agin of Center Board Marketing to time-travel from first client to most recent client and pull apart what actually created momentum, stability, and trust.

We talk about why relationship-led marketing is not manipulation and how it turns into real revenue over time. Margie shares...

The Career Collective

Being the “easy yes” consultant can quietly turn into a trap: you deliver fast, you stay busy, and you still feel like an order taker. Sarah Noel Block sits down with LaToya Scroggins, founder of The Career Collective, to talk about the moment she realized her best work is not doing more tasks, it’s diagnosing what’s actually wrong and teaching clients how to move.

Your best prospects are already trying to buy without you. They are researching, comparing options, checking proof, and building a shortlist before they ever reach out and if your consulting website hides the deliverables, the process, or the pricing signal, you get filtered out early. That is the real reason “sales” can feel stressful and weird: the offer is full of unknowns, so the call turns into a persuasion session.

Your calendar doesn’t need more sales calls. It needs better information.

I’m joined by storytelling and sales writing expert Kendall Cherry, and we get surprisingly tactical about the unsexy part of marketing that quietly controls your pipeline: the inquiry form. Kendall explains how she uses a detailed inquiry form to qualify leads, understand budget and readiness, and move straight to a proposal and video walkthrough. The payoff is real: less scheduling chaos, fewer “let’s hop on a...

We walk through a simple way to turn the summer slump into momentum by reaching out to past clients with a private invitation based on what they already told us they needed next.

Your inbox is probably holding a handful of conversations that didn’t end. They just stopped. A great call, real interest, maybe even a proposal sent, and then… silence. That quiet can feel oddly personal, which is exactly why so many consultants avoid following up until it’s painfully awkward. We don’t do “just checking in” here. We walk through five specific, field-tested follow-up scripts designed to restart stalled sales conversations without sounding pushy, needy, or robotic.

Referrals feel amazing until they slow down, and suddenly your calendar looks emptier than it should.

On the Tiny Marketing Podcast, host Sarah Noel Block interviews Sara Nay, CEO of Duct Tape Marketing, about making the first few hires as a solo consultant. Nay explains that effective hiring starts before the job post by clarifying mission, vision, and values, then running a culture/fit interview before assessing skills. She recommends choosing a first hire by doing a one-week time audit to identify repetitive, draining tasks to delegate—often starting with an executive assistant or account manager to keep the consultant in a strategic role. Nay advocates hiring earlier than fe...
