Allow myself to introduce... myself. My name is Samuel Smith, and I am The Small Business Surgeon. I am a Business Coach AND Consultant, and my primary duties are helping fix businesses and the Entrepreneurs that run them. Welcome to The Clinic | Business Builders. Here's a little bit about what I do: 🖥️ I've enhanced online visibility for a ton of local businesses, helped to double a client’s daycare operation through strategic website and CRM improvements, and worked to radically scale another client’s business from $100,000 to $1,000,000 in monthly revenues in just 9 months by adjusting their target audience and eliminating non-profitable clients. 📈 I've built my local entrepreneurs networking group to over 3,400 members and grown my podcast "The Small Business Surgeon" to over 50,000 downloads. 📹 I've doubled the size of a client's YouTube channel from 32k to almost 80k subs, and helped them triple their revenues by creating and training an internal media team, teaching them SEO and content strategies. 🎥 And for a touch of creativity, using my pitch deck and proposal writing skills, I rewrote synopses and marketing pieces for a movie project that Nina brought me into, pivoting its appeal and allowing the team to secure $15MM in investment for production. (I can't wait to share which movie!!) 📚Late last year I leveled up my knowledge big time by completing a postgraduate program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Business Applications online through the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas. This has been a game-changer for how I approach using tech in overall business strategy. 🏘️ In the real estate world, I’ve picked up multiple awards for commercial sales, begun the process of education for my commercial brokerage license, and orchestrated several development deals, including a Ranch that was listed with another agent for over four years before we rewrote the script, adjusted the audience, and then sold for almost 25% over the original asking price, as well as a small subdivision that is on course to net over $400,000 in profit for investors—just a couple of the seven-figure real estate deals I’ve successfully put together.
