LuAnn and Katlyn Slocum’s Ah-Ha Moments

“Marketing is the things that you do to get people to your website…Sales is actually closing those marketing leads.” – Katlyn Slocum

“Every single lead that you can capture is another conversation.” – Katlyn Slocum

“Right when people land on your page, you have less than a 10th of a second for them to decide if they’re staying on your site or not. It’s so quick.” – Katlyn Slocum

More About Katlyn Slocum

I’m Katlyn and I’m passionate about helping professionals in the construction industry scale to new heights!

Growing up, all of the men in my life were tradesmen. My papa opened his own auto shop the year I was born (that’s 28 years ago). My dad and his dad ran their own HVAC business. My stepdad is a very successful and trusted roofer in southern Minnesota. I even married an electrician!

I’ve always admired these guys and have seen firsthand how hard they work every day. But as the internet kept growing, it wasn’t enough to work hard on the job; they had to market their businesses online, too.

Some of my family took on the challenge—like my stepdad who continued to have enormous success in his area after investing in online advertising, a new website, and SEO. Others found it more difficult to adapt—like my grandpa who relied solely on word-of-mouth referrals and later closed his business. I know he isn’t the only talented tradesman who has struggled to keep up with online marketing.

That’s why I decided to intentionally create a business that helps blue-collar business owners—people like my dad, my uncles, my stepdad, and my grandpa—excel online and expand their businesses through website design and marketing.

I know the countless hours you invest to put food on the table and create a brighter future for your family.

And while I can’t do what YOU do, I DO know how to harness the power of the internet to take your business from struggling to thriving.
