Kellie’s
journey into entrepreneurship started back in 2002
when after working for a number of companies (including a software and
technology company, a printing company,
a large financial services company and a large facilities maintenance
company) developing marketing strategies and working on a variety of
different types of projects, she noticed that people really responded
to her and that she had strong leadership skills and a passion for
marketing. These two skills drove significant results to the bottom
line each and every time. She worked on developing new marketing and
advertising plans, launching new product and services and developing
the sales strategies for multi-million dollar deals. In addition, her
operational experience and finance background gave her a complete
understanding of the business process so she decided to dabble into the
world of entrepreneurship. Her first business was D’Andrea Designs and
Home Improvement, a company focused on providing value by managing the
entire a process of home improvement from concept to execution
(including managing the contractors). Being her first business venture,
she needed to surround herself with experts to help provide guidance
and ideas. She met her first mentor in 2004.

With the guidance of a wonderful mentor, Kellie took it upon
herself to learn all she could to run a successful business.
She immersed herself in books and seminars and took pieces
of what she learned into her own business.Kellie bounced
ideas off her mentor when she needed to brainstorm and was
given the opportunity to learn from a master a dynamic
individual who taught her about business, marketing and
leadership. Wanting to learn more from the best of the best,
Kellie interviewed countless CEO’s and top marketers
of large and small firms and quickly began to see a pattern in
their success.

Around the same time, Kellie realized that she didn’t
have passion for the Design and Home Improvement
business, so she sold the business for a profit in 2006 and
decided to look for her next adventure. It was in this year,
that a friend bought an ice cream store under a national
franchise and needed help driving business into his store an
marketing his business. He didn’t have any experience, his
business was failing, the brand was unknown in the local area
and his location was difficult for customers to get to. Kellie
worked closely with him to turn around his business in 90
days, utilizing local area sales and marketing techniques she
now teaches in her BLAST 90 day Program.

Soon after, hundreds of business owners began asking Kellie
for marketing advice and she quickly jumped on the
opportunity to create her first online information product, an
e-book titled BLAST , Profits with Branding and Local Area Selling Techniques
and strategies to increase your profits. This book is still one of her
best selling training products today. As new media started to arrive in
the marketplace, she quickly began to learn new methods and teach her
clients how to take the new approaches and apply them to their
business. In addition she began to offer email marketing services to
her clients where she quickly became known as The Ezine Mentor
