- My name’s Mark Reynolds and I’m a small business marketing consultant.
- I help ambitious small business owners build a consistent and predictable flow of customers.
- I’ve been helping B2C and B2B small business owners since my digital marketing career began in 2002. This continued from 2007 to this day with GrowthbyTrust, the marketing consultancy I founded.
In my marketing consultancy role I will examine your current marketing strategy (including your target audience and brand message) to see what works and what doesn’t and devise a new marketing strategy.
I will drive the creative direction and execution of your new marketing strategy, and measure your new marketing strategy’s results.
Don’t worry. Whether you have a marketing strategy or not, my marketing consulting will help you get a consistent flow of customers.
Using proven marketing strategies, tactics and tools, I will help you move away from the scattergun approach to marketing that so many small businesses are guilty of, towards a predictable flow of customers that will generate more revenue and profit.
Is this your time?
Have you decided that THIS is the time to take your marketing to the next level?
You’re not alone.
It’s been an uncertain and challenging time hasn’t it.
About a week or two after the UK lockdown started, I picked up the phone/Zoom and chatted to 14 small business owners that I knew across Bristol, Coventry and Warwickshire.
There was one thing many had in common.
Like never before, lockdown had given them the chance to step back and see what was wrong in their business and marketing and to see the opportunities.
I consistently heard something like this: “I don’t want to go back to how it was before lockdown. Things need to change.”
Often it came down to an inconsistent and unpredictable number of potential customers getting in touch.
It’s a serious issue, but don’t worry, it’s one I fix all the time.
With my marketing consultancy services, I help small business owners like you get a consistent and predictable flow of customers.
If you’re unsure as to whether working with a marketing consultant is right for you, answer the following questions honestly and you’ll know:
- To achieve the goals you have for your business, do you need more customers than you’re currently getting?
- Are there occasions when you find yourself wondering where your next new customer is going to come from?
- Are you sometimes overwhelmed and overworked with all the little stuff?
- Are you trading time for money and not earning your true value?
- If you look back over the last 12 or 18 months, is there a pattern of feast or famine when it comes to revenue and getting new customers?
- Do you struggle to find time each week to focus on the high-yielding, revenue-producing, ‘£300 per hour’ work?
- Do you sometimes not know what to do next to move your marketing and business forward?
- Are there competitors in your market who are not as good as you but appear to be more successful and you sometimes lose customers to them?
- Do you sometimes wish you had a marketing expert to talk to and bounce ideas off?
If you answered yes to ANY of the above, it’s a symptom that you’re too busy reacting, working IN your business, so you never get sufficient time to work ON your business.
That’s a fatal mistake and experience has taught me that it’s almost impossible to make the changes needed to escape those challenges without an expert marketing consultant alongside you.
As one of England’s best marketing consultants, I will work 1:1 with you, in your business, to:
- Implement the Entrepreneurs Marketing System;
- Crack the rhythmic acquisition of customers with you;
- Help you to do work you enjoy, work flexibly, better work-life balance, have more freedom and control and have a more beneficial influence on your employees, customers and your community.
Together we will make the next 12 months not only your best ever in business…
… but also the 12 months in which your personal income rises markedly…AND you make real, proper progress towards your B-I-G goals.
Using a proven marketing system paired with custom analysis of your business, I will help you:
- Identify what you should be doing in your marketing.
- Work out how you should be doing it.
- And I help you get the marketing done.
…to build a consistent and predictable flow of customers.
My marketing coaching service is suitable if any of these are true:
- You don’t do any marketing but you know you need rhythmic marketing activity to get a reliable and predictable flow of customers.
- You already have an in-house marketing team or outsource marketing to freelancers/agencies, but you need reliable impartial advice and someone to hold you accountable.
- Your marketing has a scattergun approach without a strategy or plan.
Having a GrowthbyTrust Marketing Coach working with you is one of the best business decisions you can make (just ask any of our existing coaching clients).
If you’re interested, want to learn more or just have a chat about how the coaching programme might help you and your business, here’s what to do next:

Mark was recommended to us by one of his previous clients. We contacted him to discuss how we could improve our Google ads.
Following an indepth review of our business, we have come away with a far more targetted and considered plan of attack for our marketing this year involving lots of other marketing tools. We would not have achieved this without Mark's expert guidence. Needless to say, we are continuing to work with him.
Although many small business owners want a profitable business, it’s not all about financial reward.
What many small business owners want is personal satisfaction, such as to:
- Do work you enjoy
- Be the boss
- Work flexibly
- Better work-life balance
- Have freedom and control
- Having a beneficial influence on your employees, customers and community.
Unfortunately, many small business owners don’t often tick them off.
Many are tired of the busy times, working hard for little reward.
They’re not getting the life they planned when they started out in business.
They’re not taking the action that’s needed to move them forward because they’re working IN the business rather than ON it.
Unable to truly create the desired lifestyle for those that matter in their life.
They don’t have anyone to hold them truly accountable, so there just isn’t enough action to create a predictable and consistent flow of customers.
Now more than ever, the decisions you make are going to seriously impact not just your business, but your family and your way of life.
The problem?
As a business owner – you’re alone.
If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you wish that there was someone you could turn to to answer your questions, sense-check your ideas, critique your marketing, make sure you’re doing the right things…
Someone to not only help you find the right path, but map it out for you step by step…
Don’t worry.
I’m here to help.
It’s a pleasure working with Mark. The more you work with him the more you see the dedication to delivering to your key business goals.
His understanding of the digital environment for SEO and Google Analytics with his clearly proven track record at a B2B and B2C environment is excellent. I highly recommend Mark from his own company GrowthbyTrust. You are in good proven and reliable digital hands.
My name’s Mark Reynolds, an independent marketing consultant and coach here in the UK.
Many small business owners are now thinking “this is the time, I need to take this business to the next level and improve the success and satisfaction I get from it.”
I can help you move forward and get more high-paying customers during these challenging times.
We’ll work together to help you build a predictable and consistent flow of customers in your business in 2025 and beyond.
As part of our work together, we will sort out exactly what the consistent flow is and what’s going to have to happen to bring it about in 2025.
Together we’ll reshape your marketing and sales.
We’ll work together to help you create the desired lifestyle for those that matter in your life.
My main impact isn’t simply the teaching.
I often see small business owners not progressing because not enough of the right action is being taken.
Accountability is lacking.
Don’t worry, I’m here to help you make things happen. I’ll hold you accountable to help you live the life you dreamed when you started off in business.
ProfitReach is my own business that I started in 2007 and I’m passionate about helping business owners like you.
If you’d like to talk, to move forward and get more high-paying customers during these challenging times give me a call on 01926 356300 or email me.
Get the right marketing plan and help to get things done
If we work together, I will be your own marketing coach, working with you directly each month.
I will help you find the right path and map it out for you step by step.
I’ll get to know you like no other consultant/coach would, bringing you a high level of care and confidentiality.
Crucially, I’ll keep you accountable to help you get things done.
All too often business owners don’t build a predictable and consistent flow of customers because they don’t consistently take the right action. But don’t worry, accountability is a big benefit that my marketing/sales coaching will provide you.
I’ll also make sure I help you at a pace that’s right for you and your business.
Imagine I’m a personal trainer, but instead of getting you fit, I’m working with you to build a consistent and reliable flow of customers. I’ll get to know you, prescribe the right ‘exercises’ and keep you accountable, hold your feet to the fire and make sure you achieve success.
If you’re an ambitious business owner looking for personal 1:1 support – the Coaching Programme is for you. Book your free Business Growth Blueprint call today.
Every month I’ll help you generate more leads, more customers, more profit, a better business and a better life.
Even with the best advice, you’ll struggle if you don’t have the resources to get things done.
That’s why I’ll also give you access to my network of marketing professionals that I’ve built up over 20 years.
Here to help you finally execute and get the right things done.
I will treat your business differently
Every business is unique.
That’s why I treat every client differently.
From the beginning, I learn about you and your business to decide what has to happen to generate a real and consistent flow of quality leads.
But in marketing and sales, different businesses also have many similarities.
That’s why I will use a proven marketing and sales system to bring results to my coaching clients.
This system has already helped a large number of businesses crack the rhythmic acquisition of customers.
And there’s enough flexibility to make sure the system is a close fit for your business. It will allow me to use my 20 years of small business marketing experience to maximise your success.
Introducing the “Entrepreneurs Marketing & Sales System”
Below you can see a high-level summary of the system.
This system, with my guidance, will bring you a consistent and rhythmic acquisition of customers.
Hover image below to magnify.
Cracking the rhythmic acquisition of customers changes everything – and that’s what The Entrepreneurs Marketing & Sales System does.
The system helps you to avoid the scattergun approach to marketing, and instead gets results.
A scattergun approach is where you don’t have a true digital marketing plan or strategy.
It’s common for small businesses to have a scattergun approach.
Scattergun is where you rely on hope.
A scattergun approach is sporadic.
It’s like throwing mud at a wall and hoping it sticks.
Hoping that the next improvement or marketing tactic is the one that really changes things for you.
Excitement based on naive hope.
Relying on hope is not where your business should be.
Dangers of a scattergun approach
High risk of wasting A LOT of time
High risk of wasting A LOT of money
…without being any nearer to your goals.
The real alternative to a scattergun approach focuses on:
- digital marketing strategy,
- planning
- and critically — getting things done.
The Entrepreneurs Marketing & Sales System puts you in control. It makes the rhythmic acquisition of customers a reality. For you.
Maybe it’s time to replace the constant struggle and worry.
Could we have a chat to see how we can work together? How we could move your business to a place where you’re not worrying about your company’s fate, your employees’ income and security or your family’s lifestyle.
I want to move you to a place…
- …where excitement and passion flows
- …where you’re equally excited about life in work and at home.
- …where you’ve got the money to live the life you dreamed of when you started the business.
Get help to get things done
If you need it, I’ll give you access to the people I trust who can help you with SEO, Google Ads, systemised review collection, Google My Business, Facebook Ads, Remarketing, Email Marketing, LinkedIn Outreach, Web Design and Conversion Rate Optimisation.
I could do all the marketing execution myself with my 15-20 years of experience, but my clients get the most success when I put all my efforts into coaching.
I’m independent, so it’s absolutely fine if you don’t use my team for getting the marketing done. But if you need it, I have people who I trust to bring success to my clients.
My marketing coaching is designed to work with any marketing professional or agency, as long as they’re good at their job.
So if you have your own in-house team (1 or more people), perfect!
And if you already work with an agency, that’s fine too.
Or if you don’t have anyone working on your marketing, I can be of great help.
A little bit about me
Just to give you a little extra information about me.
My name’s Mark Reynolds.
I’ve been helping small business owners get more customers online since 2002.
Today, as a Marketing Consultant/Coach – I’m here to help you get a consistent high-quality stream of leads – if you need it.
I serve business owners across the UK (and the USA), and mostly work with small businesses in and around Bristol, Gloucestershire, Coventry, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Warwickshire, the West Midlands and London.
I’d be happy to have an initial chat so we can discuss your challenges and see how I can help.
What does my ‘marketing coaching’ look like?
During this challenging time and beyond, I’ll work with you one-on-one to help you identify:
- What you should be doing.
- How you should be doing it.
- And help you to get it done.
As a coaching client, I’ll be your own, dedicated, coach who will get to know you and your business intimately as if I’m part of your team.
You’ll speak with me, your coach, regularly, usually once every two weeks, either on the phone or, preferably, via Zoom.
I’ll use my 18 years of small business marketing experience, knowledge and expertise to map out exactly what you should be doing right now and help you to do it.
You’ll normally agree 1 or 2 specific actions at the end of every call and as your Coach, will keep you accountable to make sure the right things are getting done.
You can use your current marketing team to execute the plan or use our resources.
As your marketing coach, I’m happy to do either.
I’m here when you need me
Imagine being able to pick up the phone, knowing there’s finally someone you can talk to who ‘gets it’.
Someone to answer your questions, remove the barrier, help you get more stuff done.
How can you really connect your marketing with your customers’ true needs in these difficult times?
How can you provide customers with exactly what they want? Especially in these times.
How can you generate a few thousand pounds of quick cash this month? (it’s usually straightforward if you think properly!)
How can you prepare yourself most effectively for standing out in this recession?
You might not know the answer to these questions…
…but as your coach, I will.
Having a GrowthbyTrust Coach working with you is one of the best business decisions you can make (just ask any of our existing coaching clients).

"After Mark's work we’ve had a 425% increase in the number of website and landing page visitors who go on to request a quote from us."
"Do you know what, I’ve always avoided spending lots of money on websites, but then I worked out how much money we’d wasted on ineffective marketing and just went with Mark. It’s worth it. Having built the original website ourselves and 'dealt' with the 'Conversion Rate Optimisation', it was a big relief to know that it was being taken care of, and being taken care of properly, allowing me to carry on working on other areas of the business."
Get to know your coach
I’m a Marketing Coach who’s been helping UK business owners get a consistent stream of customers from their marketing since 2002.
As a marketing coach, I’m here to help you.
Anyone can call themselves a marketing coach. But I’ve been a hands-on marketer since 2002, learning what it takes to bring success to UK small business owners.
That means that crucially I’m different to many coaches who often will coach you with someone else’s marketing system – that’s fine, but without marketing experience, they may not be able to effectively react to changes and challenges in your business.
I use my own marketing experience to really crack your marketing and help you to earn the profit you deserve.
To increase the income you take home.
What marketing experience does your coach have?
I now use all the knowledge I’ve built over the years to coach small business owners like you.
- I built my first website in 1998.
- My career since 2002 has focused entirely on promoting small businesses to build a predictable and consistent flow of customers.
- I’ve built 100s of results-driven, customer-focused, Google-friendly websites and landing pages.
- I’ve been consistently optimising websites to help business owners to get more customers from Google since 2003.
- In 2005 I started using Google Adwords to get businesses in front of my client’s ideal customers at the exact moment they’re searching Google for products/services they sell. I’ve been using Google Ads consistently ever since and have helped over 40 business owners.
- In 2007 I started my own digital marketing business, ProfitReach. I’ve been working 100% in the business ever since with UK small business owners to help them build a rhythmic acquisition of customers.
It all started with a website
I designed my first website in 1998 in my first year at university.
It was basic.
I never guessed website design would be the main focus of my career. But it would prove to play a huge role.
In early 2002, 6 months after graduating with First Class Honours, I started to design websites professionally – back when Google was only 4 years old.
Since then I’ve single-handedly designed and built 100s of websites and landing pages.
I worked for a couple of small businesses in those early years. I managed everything to do with the websites, including promotion using SEO, Google Ads and desktop email marketing software.
In 2005 I started using Google Ads (or Google Adwords as it was then known). From that moment I’ve helped over 40 businesses to advertise on Google – with the aim to increase leads & enquiries, improve lead quality and grow sales.
From 2006-2009 I was the Online Marketing & Web Manager for Ecovision, a company that designs, supplies and installs renewable energy solutions to homes and businesses across the UK, including the Highgrove Estate, the home of Prince Charles.
Why I Started GrowthbyTrust in 2007
In 2007 I spotted an opportunity.
It was time for a change.
New websites were being designed by web agencies, and they simply weren’t that good. Business owners were investing their hard-earned money…and weren’t getting much for it.
I knew I could do better.
I created ProfitReach.
I started part-time to lower the risk. Then in 2009 I handed in my notice and went for it.
I was really proud that 10 years later I still had some of my original clients, including Yate Town Council.
Over the years I became a Virtual Digital Marketing Agency.
I worked from my home office (which I’ve always loved) and built a team of dependable and trusted UK web specialists.
The natural progression was to use all the experience and knowledge that I had built up, to become a marketing coach. To help business owners make a real difference in their marketing.
"Mark has been instrumental in raising our company’s online profile for many years."
"We have seen a significant difference in web traffic since Mark has took the reins, resulting in more enquiries and generating more sales. Mark has been instrumental in raising our company’s online profile for many years. The digital knowledge, meticulous detail and value Mark brings to the table is second to none. An absolute pleasure to work with and a genuinely nice guy. Thanks Mark!"
Things people don't know about me
- I was born in the same small house as J.K. Rowling near Bristol, UK, a cottage hospital (I don’t have a scar on my forehead like Harry Potter!).
- I graduated from the University of Lincoln, UK, with First Class Honours.
- Along with three talented student colleagues I won a Regional Royal Television Society Award for the documentary ‘Battered Cod’, which I produced.
- Volunteering has been a big part of my life. I volunteered for a local sports club ever since I was a little boy – teaching children to play cricket and helping with lots of tasks around the club.
- In my 20s my cricket volunteering work led to me being awarded the England & Wales’ Young Volunteer of the Year Award by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) at the NatWest Outstanding Service to Cricket Awards (OSCAs) held at Lord’s, the home of cricket.
Mark live on BBC Radio Bristol from the Media Centre at Lords’ cricket ground following winning a national OSCA award.
A few other secrets...
- In 2005 I was excited to be one of 4 judges for the 2006 England and Wales NatWest Outstanding Service to Cricket Awards (OSCAs) at Lord’s cricket ground. We were tasked with choosing the national winners across multiple categories.
- From 2006-2008, in a busy period of my life, the England and Wales Cricket Board asked me to work for them. I worked part-time alongside my full-time marketing career just so I could get this great experience. I gave advice to all cricket clubs across the South West of England on educating, recruiting and rewarding volunteers.
- In 2009 I was presented with an ICC Centenary Medal by the International Cricket Council, the international governing body for cricket. The ICC Centenary Medal recognises a group of people who are instrumental to the running of the game – the volunteers. It was presented by Mike Gatting, former England cricket captain.

"The work Mark did on our product pages generated £30k of sales, that's just one product page with up to a 4.35% eCommerce conversion rate."
"We are extremely pleased with our eCommerce PPC results. As well as managing Google Ads for us, Mark optimised the product pages he had previously built.

We'd certainly recommend Mark for PPC/Google Ads and to improve your eCommerce product pages. Our eCommerce PPC campaigns with landing pages brought a Return-on-Advertising-Spend (ROAS) of 312%, which gives us a lot of potential for the future - we're very happy with that."
Where do I get my inspiration?
Inspiration is such an important part of life and growing a business.
I’ve been lucky to meet some remarkable people with hugely inspiring advice.
The day I was lucky enough to listen to and meet Baroness Karren Brady
“You can’t determine where you start in life, but you can determine where you end up.”
Baroness Karren Brady, the successful British businesswoman, is well known for co-hosting the BBC’s Apprentice. You can read about when I met Baroness Karren Brady here.
The day I was lucky enough to listen to and meet Sir Steve Redgrave
Sir Steve Redgrave is a remarkable person with a spectacular story.
He won gold medals at 5 consecutive Olympic games (WOW!!), but his story of how he planned his Sydney gold really opened my eyes. Read more about the exciting day I met Sir Steve here.
The day I was lucky enough to listen to and meet Nick Jenkins (BBC’s Dragons’ Den & Moonpig fame)
I met millionaire businessman Nick Jenkins from BBC’s Dragon’s Den who also has an astonishing story. Read my blog post to see why Nick Jenkins of BBC Dragons’ Den fame inspires me.
The day I was lucky enough to listen to and meet Lord Sebastian Coe.
Lord Coe said: “Vision must be in the DNA of your organisation. You’re permanently at cross roads where the judgement is between budget and creativity. At the start of the Olympic journey we said we’re going to stick to the vision – a guiding North Star.
He headed the London 2012 bid and the following London 2012 Olympic games. He also has an astonishing story. Read my blog post from the day I met and listened to Lord Coe.
Mark found a ton of mistakes and wasted money in their Google Ads setup
"I engaged Mark for PPC for a new client of mine who had been with another PPC agency for over a year with very poor results. Mark found a ton of mistakes and wasted money in their setup, he reworked it all, and - even with a lower ad spend - has been generating fantastic results for my client."
