Debra Murphy

I love the freedom of having my own business and being an entrepreneur. As a marketing coach and mentor, I empower independent professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs to take control of their marketing to control costs and get better results.

I started Vista Consulting, a successful marketing agency that works with high technology companies and service businesses, in 2002 to help them market their products and services more effectively. In 2007, I started Masterful Marketing®, a coaching and mentoring business that offers both personal coaching services as well as information products to business owners, independent professionals and entrepreneurs who want to take control of their marketing. I've created an 8 step marketing system offered as a series of 8 tele-clinics, both private and group, that helps business owners develop and execute effective marketing strategies. I also offer tele-clinics on Marketing using the Social Media channel called "Get Connected, Get Found".

I started Masterful Marketing for one reason – there are too many small business owners that need help with marketing but can’t justify the cost of a consultant. Many times I had been approached by independent professionals and small business owners who would ask me if I could help them, but I knew that my consulting business model did not cater to their needs or their budget, even though the same marketing system I use for larger companies would work just as well for these business owners. So through my desire to help business owners and independent professionals build their businesses around their passions came Masterful Marketing® – 8 Steps to Marketing Success.

Launching this program has fulfilled my dream of helping many businesses not become one of the statistics of business failures. Nothing is more liberating than having control of your livelihood, income and destiny in life. I want to share what I’ve learned with others so they can enjoy what I enjoy.

In addition to running these businesses, I love giving workshops and tele-clinics to business owners, independent professionals, entrepreneurs and anyone interested in learning about marketing, personal branding and social media. These educational events can benefit your company, an organization or you personally.
