Customer Acquisition
Architecting a System for Sustainable, Organic Growth
In today's market, unpredictable lead flow and rising customer acquisition costs (CAC) are the biggest barriers to scalable growth. Many businesses rely on expensive, short-term tactics that burn cash without building a long-term asset. The solution isn't another marketing campaign; it's a better system.
As a business systems architect, I design and implement human-centered customer acquisition engines. My approach moves beyond siloed marketing and sales efforts to build a single, cohesive system that aligns your technology, strategy, and team around one goal: attracting and retaining your ideal customers, predictably and profitably.
The ORCA Method: My Proprietary Framework
At the core of my practice is the ORCA (Organically Reaching Customer Acquisition) Method. This proprietary framework was developed over 12 years of experience and is designed to create sustainable, organic growth by focusing on two foundational pillars: your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and your online communities.
The ORCA Method is a strategic shift away from "renting" audiences through paid ads and toward "owning" your audience through authentic engagement and a powerful, centralized data hub. It's how I helped an online community achieve 3% month-over-month organic growth for 24 months with zero ad spend.

My services are designed to implement the ORCA Method and build a complete, full-funnel system that turns strangers into customers and customers into advocates.
