Meg Crumbine

Go-to-Market Strategist | Business Coach for Smart Women

I know what it takes to build a business from the ground up, because I've done it, over and over.

In my 30-year career, I've:

- Worked in dozens of startups that demanded quick thinking and out-of-the-box solutions to hard problems.

- Scaled a startup from $0 to $40M in revenue, selling to Fortune 100 companies and global NGOs.

- Built dozens of successful go-to-market plans with bare-bones budgets.

- Worked across sales, marketing, and executive leadership positions leading and mentoring teams.

- Pitched and won $6M in venture funding.

And along the way, I have seen too many brilliant women bullied or forced out of senior roles. Then, trying their hand at consulting, or fractional roles, they hit a wall. Overthinking, undercharging, and struggling to find the right formula, they burn out unnecessarily.

That's why I started Heard. My mission is simple: to give women the strategy, clarity, and confidence they need to build businesses that actually work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

How can I work with you?

You can work with Meg one-on-one, in The Momentum Mastermind, or in one 90-minute session duringThe Business Reset. Schedule a discovery call to learn more about one-one-one coaching. Sign up for our newsletter to get free resources and find out about free upcoming workshops.

Q:

How can coaching help my business?

Starting and growing a business is hard, and requires specific expertise. The expertise that allowed you to be successful in corporate, is not the same expertise you need to build a new business. Heard business coaching fills that gap with the sales and marketing expertise that you are missing. Even expert sales and marketing execs struggle with perspective when building their own businesses. Working with a business coach surfaces critical gaps in your strategy, and allows you to grow faster and more confidently.

Q:

Is this the same as life coaching?

No. Life coaching is designed to help you make decisions about life priorities. Business coaching is focussed on developing and refining the skills needed to help your business succeed. Heard's focus is specifically on sales and marketing skills.

Q:

What can I expect?

Heard coaching is done-with-you coaching. It is a close collaboration, using shared resources, to create a successful sales and marketing strategy for your business. We focus on positioning, messaging, lead generation, and sales process — all to drive faster revenue.
