Markets are conversations. What are you saying?

Business today is about conversations. The way you frame the conversations your business has with your potential clients and customers can determine the course of your business: your brand, your reputation, your opportunities, your sales.

The good news is that it’s never been easier to create the kind of content that generates sensational conversation. But the enormity of the opportunity is overwhelming to even the savviest marketers.

  • What kind of content should I create?
  • Where should I post & share the content I create?
  • Why doesn’t my content translate into sales?
  • How can I create content that gets people talking?

The best content–whether written, visual, or experiential–is relevant to your best prospects today and, at the same time, moves them toward becoming your customers of tomorrow.

Creating engaging, meaningful conversation helps your business serve customers, generate more revenue, and work in your zone of genius.

Praise for Tara’s Coaching

“What usually took me months was happening in a few weeks…”

Throughout my time at 10KFeet, the evolution of my business kept unfolding and changing at an incredible rate. What usually took me months was happening in the course of a few weeks. I was revamping systems, developing offers (and a new business), building my team, all while creating the most beautiful websites of my design career. Clarity of purpose will do that.

The clarity and depth offered in 10KFeet is something that I’ve yet to see anywhere else. Tara’s singular in her mastery of digital business and her leadership is something that I aspire to on a daily basis.
— Amanda Farough, Founder & Creative Director of violetminded Media

“More than double the sales…”

Tara Gentile helped me to rewrite a sales page that had been muddling and lackluster, turning it into a sales page that generated more than double the sales and tripling my email list, all within just a few weeks. This investment in my business easily paid for itself in a ridiculously short amount of time.

“We can learn a great deal from each other.”

nancysherrI launched my first multimedia book during my time participating in 10ThousandFeet–Tara’s guidance was invaluable. I had lots of ongoing questions, and with her support, I was able to figure out a strategy and launch my book out into the world-–simultaneous of course, to my signature group telecourse. Yes – two, two, two launches in one! Also, I’ve learned lots from other mastermind members in 10ThousandFeet. I’ve realized that we as entrepreners all largely struggle with the same challenges and can learn a great deal from each other.
