Your Business Is Generating Leads.
Your Systems Are Losing Them.

I help service-based and growth-minded businesses fix missed follow-up, workflow breakdowns, and operational chaos — with practical systems, automation, and AI that reduce owner stress and recover lost revenue.

Best fit for businesses doing $500K+ that already have demand but know things are slipping through the cracks.

2-Minute Overview — Coming Soon
Chris Westlund

Before I started Minnesota Marketing, I helped grow a company from $1M to $7.5M in revenue in two years — expanding from individual contributor to operations leader, building the systems that made that growth sustainable, and ultimately helping lead the company through acquisition.

That experience shaped everything. I watched what happens when you scale without systems: you don't build a business — you build a machine that eats people alive. Now I help other businesses avoid that.

More leads won't fix a broken backend.

When a business is barely managing its current workload, more demand doesn't feel like growth — it feels like pressure. The cracks that used to be manageable suddenly become expensive.

Leads sit too long before someone responds
Missed calls turn into missed jobs
Proposals get sent but never followed up
Key tasks live in someone's memory instead of a system
Team members handle things differently every time
The owner becomes the backup plan for everything
Growth creates more stress instead of more control
Here's the math that hurts
$18,000/month
If you miss just 3 calls per week and each potential job averages $1,500 — that's $18,000/month in opportunities your business never even gets a shot at.

A clear process. No guesswork.

Most clients see wins in the first two weeks. Full system live in 4–6 weeks.

"We knew we were missing calls, but we had no idea how much money it was costing us. Chris built us a system that catches everything now — and we didn't have to learn anything complicated to use it."

Trusted by businesses across Minnesota

There's more than one way in.

Every engagement starts with understanding your business. Here are the three lanes we work in.

Foundations

For businesses that need a professional website, stronger lead capture, and a simple system they can actually use.

Starting point for businesses getting serious about their online presence.

Growth

For businesses ready for ads, optimization, and long-term strategic support across multiple channels.

For businesses with a solid foundation ready to scale.

Most client engagements fall between $497 and $3,997/mo depending on scope and complexity. Every engagement starts with a conversation.
No contracts. No lock-in. Month-to-month — if we're not delivering value, you walk.

This is a great fit if...

  • You already have some demand coming in
  • You know leads, communication, or workflow are slipping
  • You want systems that reduce your involvement, not increase it
  • You're ready to invest in infrastructure, not just ads

Probably not the right fit if...

  • You're looking for the cheapest possible website
  • You expect software alone to solve deeper operational issues
  • You're not ready to commit time to the onboarding process
  • You need results in 48 hours with no strategic involvement

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Revenue Leak Audit, and is it actually free?

+

Yes, completely free. It's a 30-minute call where I map your current lead flow, response times, and follow-up process. I'll show you where you're losing money and give you a concrete action plan. If we're a fit to work together, I'll explain what that looks like. If not, you still walk away with useful insights.

I've been burned by marketing people before. How is this different?

+

Most agencies sell you traffic and hope for the best. I start by fixing what happens after leads come in — the follow-up, the pipeline, the reporting. You see exactly what we change and exactly what it produces.

Is this replacing my office staff?

+

No. These systems support your team, not replace them. The goal is to take repetitive tasks off their plate — automated follow-ups, lead routing, missed call recovery — so they can focus on the work that actually requires a human.

What software do I need?

+

We primarily build on GoHighLevel, which is included in your engagement. If you already have a CRM or tools you like, we can often work with those too. No forced migrations.

Do I need to change CRMs?

+

Not necessarily. We'll evaluate what you're using and whether it's helping or hurting. If a change makes sense, we'll handle the migration. If your current setup works, we build on top of it.

How long does setup take?

+

Most clients see measurable wins in the first two weeks. The full system is typically live in 4–6 weeks. This isn't a 6-month branding exercise — it's an operational upgrade with a fast feedback loop.

Can you work alongside my current team or agency?

+

Yes. We're not here to replace your team. We fill the gap between marketing and operations — the part most agencies ignore and most teams don't have time to build.
