Don’t sell. Just help.

No one likes a salesperson, but everyone loves someone that can help their business grow.

C. Owens Run applies 25+ years of marketing, business development and brand expertise forged in the cauldron of marketing agencies, professional services firms and financial services firms. I’ve met with hundreds of C-suite executives in countless industries all seeking to overcome and persevere through conundrums, challenges and crises - and created results that built more results.

The one throughline that I discovered through all of my exciting endeavors is that you need to focus on others if you want to succeed. We are all emotional creatures, and what we really want in life is to feel that we matter. That we belong. That we are aligned on a plan we believe in. That we feel that we are being helped and not sold to. That we are a part of something that gives us meaning and purpose. Whether you are looking to build a plan, build your client base or expand work with clients that already know and love you, you can start small. Crawl. Then walk. Then run. I’ll sweep the path while you tie your shoes.

C. Owens Run is more than sales support. We are a B2B Growth Consultancy focused on all dimensions of business development.
