For more than 20 years, DeBorah Beatty has been a coach and trainer helping startup, work-at-home, freelance, and mom-and-pop businesses save time and money by reducing the amount of back office time and increasing productivity and decreasing production time; getting you back to the business of your business and not the tedium of paperwork and humdrum day to day activities. She’s been involved with direct sales, online sales, telemarketing sales, home-based businesses, traveling craftsperson sales at outside festivals (which she still does as an exhibiting artist) and always has found ways to do the same things as the big companies but on a much smaller budget and little or no staff.
