Isaac Navias Digital Marketing Expert

My love for helping local businesses started when I was a young boy. My dad ran an International Mask and Puppet Museum…(yes you read that right)…and I was always with him at his business. He often struggled to keep his company alive, often relying on donors and government grants to keep going.   Years later, when I decided to leave my Executive job at Target, I decided I wanted to help local businesses grow and thrive. The first person I helped ended up getting so busy he needed to hire additional employees to handle all the new customers. Right then I knew I was onto something. Since then I have helped many amazing Local Businesses obtain the growth and recognition they deserve. I love helping those businesses that are offering high quality products or services explode and grow so they can help even more people in their community.   I have found that many local businesses are amazing at what they do, but not so great at marketing. That’s where I come in. Marketing is scary and can be a money pit if done incorrectly. Many of my clients have been burned before by a marketer who didn’t deliver on what they promised and then became stuck. That’s why I strive to always deliver the goods. I have a perfect 5 star rating on Google Maps and across the web.   Check out our reviews to see what our clients have been saying about us! Kim Coates Customer Support ExtraordinaireWhat really convinced me that I wanted to start working for LocalFi was getting to personally meet many of Isaac’s clients. I was always blown away at what a big impact a digital marketing company like LocalFi was able to make in their lives. These were good, hard-working people who offered great products and services but had been struggling to get by before partnering with LocalFi.  I’ve personally been able to witness these peoples lives go from a constant struggle for survival of their business, to thriving, expanding and being able to help even more people doing what they do best, their passion. It gives me great pleasure to actually see how much we are able to help these businesses, their families, and their communities.

Business builder, Sales leader, author, coach, consultant, teacher…Chief Clarity Officer…Mark Boundy has grown businesses in a variety of industries by virtue of his relentless focus on uncovering customer value and delivering high-value results.

While at W.L. Gore & Associates, Mark began weaving a focus on customer value into Miller Heiman’s complex selling methodologies .  This combination grew one of that company’s most competition-threatened products by twenty percent/year…every year…while increasing margins and profits.

Then, at Lucent Technologies.  Mark applied his customer-value approach; pivoting the world’s first carrier-class VoIP product away from a cost-saving to a platform for delivering applications which had never existed: virtual call centers, virtual office presence — even the first product roadmap for Unified Communications platforms, and being awarded a patent for a multimedia conferencing.

Switching to Commercial Finance, he ultimately found his way to GE Capital.  Instead of simply selling money–the ultimate commodity, Mark learned each customer’s businesses, in order to deliver unique value to each, with decidedly non-commodity pricing.  Mark’s client portfolio was in the top 5% in top-line revenue, while also in the top 5% for profitability.Mark Boundy aligned with Miller Heiman to combine the world’s most successful sales methodologies with his value discipline for his clients.  Now, the Miller Heiman Group integrates an even more robust toolkit: assessments, SPIN, Coaching, Playbooks, Research…all powerful, but combining them with Mark’s customer-value-centric methodology gives Mark’s clients an added dimension…one that they…and their customers …value.
