Lacking a foundation, we compensate.



When we don’t know how to talk about our inherent value, we use scaffolding to build a business. Everything we do then takes longer, costs more, and performs worse.

We compete for attention with flash and noise.

We use sales and perks to gain and retain customers.

We devalue our company to secure partners & investors.

When we capture our value and build our foundation—everything else comes easy.

My Story

John Trainor

I once made a living off the art & science of selling things, but when I left the ad world to help a small business scale up, I realized: all those complex and costly tactics are often just used to cover up something missing from the business: purpose.

Lacking a clear idea of what we do and why we do it, we compensate. In doing so, we over-complicate and overspend on every aspect of our business—not just marketing. This handicaps us and stunts our growth.

I know there are people out there who need what you sell, so I created VOV Stories to help them understand exactly what you offer.
