Andrew Safnauer

It's not about you and your brand.  It's about your customers and what problem you are solving for them.  I help companies sharpen and focus their message.  Lose the jargon and connect more.

Connections aren't happening.  Which means sales aren't happening.  It's not the product....maybe it's how you speak about it....

What I Do

Have you ever been to a networking event, asked someone about their business and walk away still wondering what they do?

I fix that.

I help remove the words that work inside your building to be clear and powerful and CONNECT to the people you want to sell to.

We need to turn the mirror around so your buyers seem themselves in your messaging.

Zachary Jennings

Founder

 The founder journey often feels like a giant roller coaster, and having Andy’s encouragement and experience has proven valuable time and time again. I highly recommend Andy to other entrepreneurs who may be too close to their problems to get some outsider feedback and direction. He has helped me see issues from a different point of view which spark new ideas leading to actionable improvements in my business.

Andy has been a great person to lean on while I continue growing as an entrepreneur. He hears out my ideas, offers thoughtful feedback, and holds me accountable for the goals I've set. Andy enthusiastically jumps into our coaching sessions and his warm, easygoing personality makes it a lot easier to talk about the hard parts of my business.

(When you) work with a coach to provide clarity....it’s important to be selective about the person you choose. I recommend finding someone like Andrew Safnauer who has been a successful entrepreneur himself more than once.
