Gary Heisey is a gifted, extraordinarily talented, extremely knowledgeable, very experienced and wise speaker on the topic of “creating your One Page Business plan.” Gary gave a 1 and 1/2 hour lecture to my Nurse Entrepreneur students and his lecture/discussion was overflowing with multiple pearls of wisdom on all topics included in the One Page Business Plan. Myself and my students were thrilled with his business experience and lecture content. I have also attended a former lecture by Gary on “Creating Your Business Brand” and he did an awesome job in that presentation also. Contact Gary if you want a great presenter on any of these topics. His experience, wisdom and personality shine through these topics.

Brand Door is an excellent way for a small business to market their services/ products on a budget.Brand Door has more than marketing in their tool box.

By far the best decision weve made here at the Asheville Bee Charmer. Garys guidance and expertise have been exactly what we were looking for. For all of our meetings with Gary, he comes prepared with options and advice that have helped us make the best informed choices to grow our small business. We now have two locations, and a better informed on site manager who meets with Gary as well and weve seen her confidence and skill set grow as well as ours. Weve been working with Gary now for over 3 years and will continue to have his calm demeanor, encouragement and input help keep us grounded and educated as we move forward in our growing business.

Gary has been amazing the past five months as he instructed a business accelerator course through our local chamber and community college. He spent time in and out of class ensuring each of us maximized the experience and were able to have all tools necessary once the class ended. Gary has been unbelievable with the personal attention towards my business marketing plan. He reviewed everything we are doing and offered amazing suggestions for branding and promotion on social media, google and web. Gary has been supportive with everything weve done and continues to promote and refer us to potential clients. What a great asset to our local business community.

He has taught us so much, and any time we have a question/problem, he always has the answer...or finds the answer! Your business needs Brand Door.

Brand door helped me better understand how to use Google My Business...a crucial tool to be found on the internet! Thanks Gary! I feel much miter in control of my growing business. CHEERS!

Gary, is incredibly helpful with all things marketing. Especially in regards to helping my Google listing rise in ranks! Highly recommend using this company!

I have known Gary for many years and have always relied on his common sense approach to business. His seminars, classes and workshops are a wealth of information. So, when we were ready to re-imagine the direction that the Sassy Goose would take in 2020, we turned to Gary. We took everything I had learned from his seminars and workshops: creating a tag line, revamping our web site, increasing our social media foot print and making sure we had an excellent showing in Google My Business. Then Gary sat down with us to tweak what we had done and make a plan for how to connect with the guests best suited to our vacation rental. Gary made sure that we understand the process, which helps us to follow it in a timely manner. No matter if you are starting out or revamping your company like we are, Gary will get you on the right track. Give him a call.

If you are looking to grow or start your business you have found the right place! Gary is extremely knowledgable and detailed when it comes to pointing your business in the right direction. We started with Gary 4 years ago while he was heading up the Small Business Center at Blue Ridge. His ideas are amazing and right on point. He cares about my business as much as I do. That gives me an advantage in the market place. Need a Brand? Need to get your Brand out there? This is the company to do it. Call him. Tell him Daryl sent you.

I took a Google class thru SCORE that Brand Door(Gary) taught. He is a wealth of knowledge & made sure you knew how to maximize your Google My Business page before you left. I have two businesses that I have been incorporating into one. Ive decided to separate the two on Google but still operate the same, in the same location. I was having trouble creating the Google my Business for my second business. Gary had several solutions to offer. Now its up & going to get its own recognition! Brand Door is very responsive, listens to you, detail oriented, & helps you achieve your goals! Thank you for your help

Gary has been a HUGE asset to Mimis Mountain Mixes over the past 4 years. Due in large to his insight and guidance, we have been able to increase our growth every year and maintain our mission. I highly recommend Gary and Brand Door for guidance and insight for any stage in the growth of your business.

Working with BrandDoor has been one of our best decisions in many years. Gary is not only a marketing guru, he just wants to help your business to grow, he has been a business a coach for us!Our partnership with them has brought consistent and phenomenal growth to our online sales and, just recently, they also coached us through the launching of our new line of services: AS Appliance Repair.BrandDoor is definitely one of the best marketing consulting firms in this area.

Excellent information, definitely the people to see to make sure your message is getting out loud and clear. Gary is a wealth of knowledge!

We had Brand Door creator Gary Heisey in recently to do a Lunch n Learn session focusing on branding for tourism-related businesses. The session was lively and informative, and Gary brings a wealth of knowledge gained from years directing a small-business incubator. I think any business that is just getting started and wants to develop a brand, or an established business that needs to build its brand, could benefit by this sort of training.

Gary gave valuable actionable feedback regard my brand. I have seen results in only a few weeks.

Brand Door did two branding seminars - Every Business Needs a Good Brand on the Henderson and Transylvania County Campuses of Blue Ridge Community College for the BRCC Small Business Center and SCORE as a partner.100% of the participants evaluations were excellent!

Recently I attended a seminar for entrepreneurs on Branding led by Gary Heisey. Gary has extensive experience guiding and assisting small business owners both in terms of his own consulting business and via his years of association with a local community college small business department.I’ve been exposed to marketing and branding at corporate levels for a number of years, but I found his presentation both informative and enlightening. Gary brought home to the participants, and explained in clear and understandable terms, lots of practical, “how-to” info and tools pertinent to effectively branding a small business in today’s complex and highly competitive market.Additionally, he has a very well done website offering a variety of advice and tools on branding. While some of his advice is free, he charges what I think are nominal fees for some of his tools. He offers some excellent services at very reasonable prices.If you are seeking branding advice and assistance, look up Gary Heisey and take your small business to the next level!
