Today you find Michael writing, coaching, teaching and speaking in the Pacific Northwest.  As a Certified Guerrilla Marketing Trainer & Coach and Certified Inbound Marketing Professional, Michael Hartzell finds innovative low cost ways to help business grow sales. 

Whether the business ownership is stuck or on the edge of going from good to GREAT, Michael may become a side by side "acting partner" with a clear focus on applying the five essentials to business success.  It is not a matter of "if", it is a matter of "when".

Private and public workshops are conducted both online and offline for those companies which need education and training.  Inbound marketing is the favorite topic but implementing marketing strategies with a synergy of both offline and online is where Michael Hartzell shows how the real magic happens.

Guerrilla marketing strategies have repeatedly doubled sales. With an estimated 300 marketing tools along with inbound marketing as the foundation; small business can compete with larger businesses. 

Growing up there was a constant thought: "I'm so hungry."  At 14 years of age I took the plunge into the restaurant business by working in the school cafeteria (giving up study hall).  In hindsight the restaurant business was perfect and gave me opportunity to pursue my passion of service.

After thousands of  employees, success stories that includes doubling sales many times and restaurant turn-arounds, along with dozen years of restaurant ownership (quintupling sales); it is just the beginning. 

With the top of mind philosophy that Knowledge Empowers so Learn & Teach ^TM and my favorite method to do so is to make them SMink = Smile & Think at the Same Time. ^TM each day brings another opportunity to help those in need get it done and have some fun finding their way to their own paradise.

I do this as a business success guide, writer and speaker who offers books, articles and workshops.  With hat in hand as a Professor of Magic Marketing and an Inbound Marketing Certification, I stay ready to help the entrepreneur or business owner, "Boost Sales and Build Teams" with the latest technology and tools available, the Internet and social media.

They say I am "a genius", "inspirational", "crazy" and "too outside the box."  Regardless of it all, each day I get to say: "Getting it Done and Having Fun" and help others do the same..
