Author Quotes
I dedicate this book to every founder, inventor, and entrepreneur who has ever doubted themselves. I truly hope my twenty years of success and failures help you.
I don’t have to tell you how important it is for your business to actually make money — getting to your first million, after all, opens so many doors (from investors, in particular).
If you’re trying to increase profitability (and who isn’t), make sure you know your numbers, so you can acquire as many customers as possible at as low a cost as possible.
About the author
Carolyn Lowe founded ROI Swift in 2015 to help emerging consumer brands get expert help in Amazon, Paid Ads for Facebook/Instagram, Email Marketing and Paid Search. So many smaller businesses were being taken advantage of by paying agencies big dollars for no results, and Carolyn thought that was wrong. Her team grew an apparel and footwear company from $0-12M in 18 months through paid Facebook and Instagram ads. Carolyn’s goal is to help 1000 brands grow profitably. So far, they have helped nearly 200, so she is 800 away from retirement! Prior to founding ROI Swift, Carolyn ran Global marketing and events for an NPD company and consulted for many brands including DirecTV, Callaway Golf and others, and prior to that, she held a variety of marketing leadership positions at Dell, Inc.
Fun facts about Carolyn: She once won $10,000 on the radio and wished she saved it to invest in Google or Amazon two decades later. She lives in Austin, TX and is married with two children. Carolyn has her pilot’s license, though no time to actually fly anymore.
