Strip away all of the jargon about ROI, etc., and the real reason why small business owners have hired me to run their marketing efforts is because they're not "accounts", "customers" or even "clients" to me, they're folks that I genuinely care about both personally and professionally...

Knowing that I've helped them achieve their business goals and that they're genuinely pleased I am a part of their team is what drives me to work as hard (and smart) as I possibly can for them.

There are other capable alternatives out there, but I can promise that you'll never find someone that will bust his butt to help you become more successful.
