Founder · Pinnacle Masters Est. 2018 · In direct response since 2001

I founded Pinnacle Masters in 2018. But the work goes back a lot further. I've been in direct response marketing since 2001. Not as a theorist. As an operator. Grew my family's furniture repair business to a top-50 franchisee. Sold it. Became VP of Marketing sending over a million direct mail pieces a month.

When the digital shift hit, I went all-in. Studied under Dan Kennedy, Frank Kern, Ryan Deiss, and Russell Brunson. Ran parallel businesses scaled through Groupon, Google Ads, and Facebook. Built agencies. Sold companies. Made money. Lost money. Got back up.

Pinnacle Masters exists because I kept seeing the same pattern. Smart operators doing $15-30K a month. Talented. Hardworking. Stuck. The answer is never working harder. It's always some mix of offer, traffic, systems, and leverage. That's what I install.

Our Process

How we actually scale your business.

A proven 4-phase approach that kills the guesswork and compresses the timeline.

01

The Pinnacle Blueprint

Comprehensive audit across 8 critical dimensions: offer, traffic, fulfillment, sales pipeline, financial architecture, client experience, automation opportunities, and team structure. Two weeks. No stones left unturned.

02

Blueprint delivery

We walk through your complete Blueprint in a 90-minute strategic session. You leave knowing exactly where your business stands, what needs to change, and the specific sequence of moves that will get you to $100K+ months.

03

Fit assessment

Not every business is right for ongoing partnership. And that's the point. The Blueprint alone is transformational. For the ones ready to accelerate, we confirm mutual fit before we lock in.

04

Install PinnacleOS

The operating system for scale. Weekly strategy calls. Direct Slack access. Ads, funnels, and CRM installs done with you. Team coaching. Offer rebuilds. This is where $15K months become $100K months.

What We Do

Six things every engagement touches.

No matter which tier you're in, these are the levers we pull. The depth depends on the tier.

/ 01 · OFFER

Offer & pricing

We rebuild the offer. Raise the price. Sharpen positioning. Stop competing on price and start commanding the margins that fund real growth.

/ 02 · TRAFFIC

Ads & acquisition

Meta and Google ads built by operators with millions in spend under their belt. Not boosted posts. Real lead generation tied to real revenue.

/ 03 · SALES

Sales systems

Qualification scripts. Sales playbooks. CRM workflows. Automated follow-up. The machinery that turns conversations into contracts.

/ 04 · OPERATIONS

Operations & delivery

Stop being the bottleneck. SOPs. Team structure. Delivery systems. What lets your business run without you in every seat.

/ 05 · AUTOMATION

CRM & automation

Full GoHighLevel build. Pipelines. Automations. Missed call text back. The backbone that stops leads from falling through the cracks.

/ 06 · TEAM

Team & leverage

Hiring frameworks. Onboarding systems. Management structures. The difference between a business that grows with you and one that owns you.

Client Voices

What they actually say.

Real feedback from operators who've scaled with Pinnacle Masters.

"

I went from being trapped in my business to actually running it. Last month I took two weeks off and revenue didn't skip a beat. That's what Pinnacle gave me. Freedom.

"

Pinnacle didn't just grow my practice. They gave me my life back. I'm seeing fewer patients personally, making 4x the money, and actually present for my kids.

"

I'd tried to scale my coaching before and failed twice. Pinnacle showed me I didn't have a course problem. I had a business architecture problem. Now I impact 10x the leaders while working half the hours.

"

I was drowning in DMs and barely making enough to justify the hustle. Pinnacle turned my following into a real business. I have a team now, recurring revenue, and I actually enjoy creating content again.

"

I had a product, not a business. Pinnacle turned me into a real brand with real systems. When I got sick for two weeks, sales actually went UP because the automations kept running.

"

I knew Amazon was dangerous but didn't know how to escape. Pinnacle didn't just build my Shopify. They built a brand people actually care about. Now I have options.

"

We were addicted to live events because that's all we knew. Pinnacle showed us we were leaving millions on the table by not building digital assets. Game-changing.

"

I built this because I love plants, not because I wanted to become a warehouse manager. Pinnacle gave me my business back. Now I spend my time sourcing rare plants instead of taping boxes.

FAQ

The questions we get every week.

What types of businesses do you work with? +

Service businesses. Agencies. Coaches and consultants. E-commerce brands. Healthcare practices. Real estate education. Home services.

Common thread: you're doing $15-30K a month, something is working, and you need systems to scale it without burning out. We don't work with pre-revenue businesses, crypto, MLM, or anything that bends our ethics.

How long until I see results? +

Most clients see meaningful traction within 60-90 days of implementation. Sometimes the biggest wins come in the first 30 days (fixing a leaky funnel, raising prices, killing a bad campaign).

The full transformation to consistent $100K+ months typically takes 9-12 months of focused work. We're not selling quick fixes. We're building machines.

What's the investment? +

Investment varies based on scope and which tier makes sense. The standalone Pinnacle Blueprint is a one-time engagement. Ongoing PinnacleOS partnerships scale with the depth of work.

We'll discuss specifics on your strategy call once we understand what you actually need. No surprises, no pressure.

What if I just want the Blueprint? +

Completely fine. Many clients take the Blueprint, implement on their own, and come back for partnership later when they're ready. The Blueprint alone is transformational. It gives you a complete roadmap.

Not everyone needs hand-holding. We respect that.

How is this different from other consultants? +

Most consultants give advice. We install. Most focus on one area. We address the entire business. Most charge by the hour, which incentivizes slow progress. We're built around outcomes.

And the work isn't theory. It's 24 years of direct response marketing, studied under Kennedy, Kern, Deiss, and Brunson, applied to real businesses with real revenue at stake.

What happens on the strategy call? +

30 minutes. We understand your business, identify your biggest bottlenecks, and determine if we're a fit.

No pressure. No hard sell. No magical scripts to trap you. If we can help, we'll tell you how. If we can't, we'll tell you that too, and point you to who can.

Do you work with international clients? +

Yes. About 20% of our clients are outside the US. As long as you can do calls during US business hours at least once a week, geography doesn't matter. All billing is in USD.
