About Ryan Spelts - Get Attention Podcast

My name is Ryan Spelts. I am an entrepreneur and marketing expert (that doesn't sound cocky, lol). In this podcast, I deep dive in to what it takes to actually market a small local business. Most businesses have no idea where to even start. I am unique as a marketer because I spent the first 25 years of my career as a sales person and sales leader amassing over $50 million in career sales in consumer goods and services. In this podcast, I apply the principles of selling to my marketing approach. This mixed with 8 years of helping companies be creative and find ways to market their products make this a must listen for the small business owner. I am here to help, please reach out with questions or ideas.
