Steve Van Leeuwen’s real-world expertise and successful Internet marketing track-record is never more obvious than in that initial strategy session he has with all new clients. He’ll make you an intensely strong cup of coffee, joyfully give you a tour of the building and then proceed to break your business down to parts you may not have been aware existed. After he’s done, you’ll see your future in a whole new light, and you’ll probably be really excited about it.
