Strategy

with Sara

Full-service marketing and fractional CMO support for local service

businesses. Strategy, systems, and execution built to bring in more

booked business, not just more clicks.

What We Do

We run the marketing department so your client doesn't have to

SilverCore acts as an outsourced marketing team for local service businesses: strategy,

ad management, automation, and website work, coordinated by one dedicatedstrategist per

client. We report on leads and revenue, not vanity metrics.

What We Do

What a good referral looks like

You don't need to know their marketing situation in detail. Just look for one of these signals.

Spending money on marketing but not getting consistent leads. Something is being wasted and they know it.

Ready to invest in marketing for the first time and wants to do it right.

Needs a full calendar to hit revenue goals — assisted living, home care, insurance, real estate, and similar local service industries.

Getting leads but losing them to slow follow-up. Needs a system that responds quickly and consistently.

Has no website, or one that isn't generating leads. Needs a professional online presence that converts.

Growing fast and needs the marketing infrastructure to match — systems, not just ads.

A simple message or text thread works

Three-way intro. No pressure, just a warm connection. Use this as-is or adjust to your voice.

Intro Template

[Client name], meet Sara.

Sara runs SilverCore, a full-service marketing agency and fractional CMO for local service businesses — paid ads, automation,

website work, and hands-on strategy, matched to where the business is today.

After The Intro

What your client can expect

1

A strategy call. No pitch, just a clear look at their situation and what would actually help.

2

A plain recommendation: the DIY software option, or one of the three SILVER System tiers — based on their business and budget, not a pre-packaged deal.

3

Fast setup. Campaigns, automation, and — if it's part of the plan — a new website or landing page, built during onboarding.

4

An ongoing engagement from there, with reporting focused on leads and revenue, not vanity metrics.

After The Intro

Questions partners ask




Do you only work with one client per area?

confirm your exclusivity policy — if this is how SilverCore operates, state it here (e.g. one client per service area, per market).

Is there a contract or long-term commitment?

confirm contract terms for the SILVER System — e.g. month-to-month vs. minimum term.

How fast does setup go live?

add typical setup / launch timelines by tier

What budget does my client need?

add recommended minimum ad spend / budget guidance, separate from the management fee. We'll always be honest about whether a budget makes sense for the market before starting.

Does my client need a website before starting?

Not necessarily. If their current site isn't converting, a landing page or full site build can be included as part of the Full SILVER tier. We're upfront about what's actually needed before any budget is spent.

What if my client just wants software, not a done-for-you team?

There's a separate self-serve software option for clients who want to run things themselves. It's a lighter fit than the SILVER System and priced differently — worth a direct conversation to see which makes sense.

How do I know if my client is a good fit before making the intro?

Local service business, wants consistent leads (not a one-off campaign), and has or is ready to invest in a marketing budget. If that describes them, the intro is worth making — we'll take it from there and be honest if it's not the right fit.

Is there a referral commission or fee arrangement?

add your referral/commission policy here — reach out directly to discuss what makes sense for the relationship.
