Aaron Post · Strategy · Marketing · Operations
20+ years as a founder and operator across software, marketing and the automotive aftermarket. I help small B2B companies find the market, build a revenue engine, and get the operations off the founder's back.
No pitch. A straight read on where you're stuck and what's worth fixing first.
How I help
What a business needs at twenty customers is not what it needs at two hundred. The work changes. So does my role in it. Find where you are.
The product works. The pitch changes every call. Sales depend entirely on who happens to be in the room.
You stop guessing who you're selling to.
Revenue is real. So is the spreadsheet everything runs on. Growth is capped by your calendar and nobody wants to say it out loud.
Growth stops depending on your hours.
Six tools, none of them talking. Reporting assembled by hand. Every decision waits on someone pulling numbers.
The business runs without heroics.
How we work together
I get paid on outcomes wherever I can. But the first step should be small, fast and clear, for both of us.
I dig into your market, pipeline and operations, then hand you a ranked plan: what to fix first, what to stop doing, and what each move is worth. Run it yourself or have me run it.
I work inside your team to run the plan: positioning, channels, partnerships, systems and the weekly operating rhythm that keeps it moving.
For the right company, I tie my pay to the growth I create. If it doesn't grow, I don't get paid. This usually starts after a Diagnostic, once we both know the opportunity is real.
Quoting in seconds, the inbound email and document pile handled, QuickBooks reconciled with your store, numbers you don't have to assemble. I run these in businesses I own before I put them in yours.
What I'm working on now
Right now I'm building QPQ, AI-powered parts quoting for collision suppliers, and advising a small number of companies in automotive, senior care and death care. The ventures are where the methods get tested before anyone pays me for them.
About Aaron Post
I'm Aaron Post. I've spent more than 20 years starting, running and growing companies, and advising the founders who run theirs.
I raised $3M for BarVision, grew it and sold it. I co-founded Refresh Phoenix, a startup community that grew into Refresh USA. Through One Orange Day I've advised more than 50 founders, and I co-authored Turn Parts Into Profit after the better part of two decades inside the collision repair and auto parts world.
That range is the point. Most businesses don't have a marketing problem or an operations problem in isolation. They have a marketing problem that operations created, or the reverse. Seeing both is what makes the fix stick.
I'm based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and work with clients anywhere.
Track record
Companies I've founded, co-founded, raised money for, sat on the board of, or learned the hard way from. The shut-downs taught me as much as the exits.
…and a few more I'm still not ready to talk about.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. You'll leave with at least one thing to do next, whether we work together or not.
