Three ways The Hickory Algorithm moves your business forward
Stage 01
Anchor Service
1:1 Business Coaching
You get clear on who you are, what you offer, and why Hickory should choose you. Chris builds your strategy from the ground up using a proven process built specifically for this market. You stop spinning and start moving with a calm, decisive plan of attack.
Outcome
A clear position, a local strategy, and the confidence to walk into any room and own it.
Stage 02
Network
Mastermind Networking
When you know your story and can tell it with conviction, the right room amplifies everything. You visit the table, meet the owners already in it, and decide if this is where you belong. Word-of-mouth stops being something you hope for and starts being something you build.
Outcome
Real relationships, real referrals, and a room that already knows and trusts your work.
Stage 03
Visibility
Content Creation & Marketing
Your business is growing and your time is full. Now you need someone to carry your message into the market while you focus on the work only you can do. Done-for-you content and social strategy keeps you visible and consistent without adding to your plate.
Outcome
A consistent market presence working for you whether you are in a meeting, with a client, or off the clock.
Most business owners try to build visibility before they have clarity, and network before they have a story worth telling. The Hickory Algorithm walks you through it in the right order so nothing gets wasted and every stage makes the next one easier.

90-Day Growth Package
$1,500You are new to the market and trying to get traction, or you are more seasoned and have hit a ceiling you cannot break through alone. Either way, you need more than advice. You need a proven process, a guide who has done this, and 90 days of focused momentum.
Your Business Cornerman, the workbook Chris built from 24 years of small business experience and award-winning marketing work, is the backbone of this entire engagement. Six one-hour 1:1 sessions guide you through it start to finish. Between sessions you have direct access to Chris throughout the full 90 days. You are never waiting until the next meeting to get unstuck.

Your Business Start Button
The 30-Day Visibility Sprint
You are not ready to hire a coach. But you know staying invisible is not helping you reach your goals. The 30-Day Visibility Sprint is 30 daily actions, each designed to take you under 20 minutes to complete, built specifically to help you reach your local market. No coach required. No commitment. Just momentum.
The Room Where Referrals Happen
Once you know your story and can tell it with conviction, the right room amplifies everything.
The path in starts with a visit. Chris welcomes guests to the table as a real introduction, not a sales pitch. You get to see how the room works, meet the people in it, and decide if it is where you belong. From there, membership is by vote. The people already at the table decide who joins them. That is what makes a referral from this room mean something.
When you are ready, the room will know it.
Content Creation & Marketing Strategy
You have done the work. You know your story, you have the relationships, and your business is moving. Now your time is the constraint.
This is where Chris takes the content weight off your plate entirely. Strategy, social, ads, written pieces, your market presence keeps growing while you stay focused on the work only you can do. You stop being the bottleneck and start being the owner.
Content and social services are scoped per project based on what you actually need. Reach out to start the conversation.
