Testimonials
Professional & Engaging
I can not begin to express my gratitude to Marney and her team at SML. As a small business owner it's so important to create the best team inside of your organization, and out. We truly have found a marketing team that cares about our vision, provides us with professional material, and does it all at a cost we can afford. They've not missed a single deadline and are extremely responsive to email communications. We look forward to our virtual meetings with Amanda everytime as she makes things so fun and engaging. I can honestly say we wouldn't know where we'd be without all of you at SML. Thank you so much for all you do for us!

Invaluable & Reliable
I have been an SML client for more than two years. The team has been invaluable in helping me think through the processes I need to implement as my business grows and evolves. I tend to overcomplicate things, but the team can always simplify the process, which is so important. I never have to ask twice for a task to be done, and I appreciate the times the team takes the initiative to move things along. Very easy to work with, very reliable, I would certainly recommend working with SML. At the very least, I'd like you to have a conversation with Marney. I am certain you will find it time well spent!

Marney has helped me with my administrative work over the past few years. This includes scheduling and posting social media and email campaigns, assisting behind the scene in my webinars, helping transfer contacts to a CRM, and many other tasks to take the burden off me! She is extremely organized, energetic, pleasant, and ready to help out wherever needed. Marney is a lifesaver and I highly recommend her services!

Enthusiastic & Outstanding
I’ve had the opportunity to use the diverse services of SML and Marney Lumpkin for the past 4 years. There hasn’t been any task too complicated or simple that they haven’t enthusiastically embraced and accomplished. Marney Lumpkin, is outstanding and energetic and always willing to take on new tasks. When we enter territory and tasks that they are not familiar with, the challenge of mastering that new information is approached with intent and excitement. Bottom line, there is no one better.

The Strategies That Work
Professional & Supportive
Where do I begin? I truly appreciate Marney (Strategic Management & Logistics) and her professional work ethics. She has helped me rebuild my entire brand website (www.ericasurvived.com) from scratch and she always supports my request for any site assistance in a timely fashion. I enjoy working with Marney and I would highly recommend Strategic Management & Logistics if you’re looking for support to rebuild or start a brand new website for your business or brand.

Talented & Flexible
I love working with SML! The team is talented, responsive and dynamic in terms of skills sets (not just the basic admin asst. stuff). And their model does not require you to pay a monthly minimum, which for a small biz, makes a big difference! Having SML work with my business and the nonprofit that I volunteer with has been a game changer (and I am a tough critic). Marney is so great-- reach out soon!

Quick & Qualified
I was introduced to Marney in 2021 when I was struggling with all the tasks that a solo entrepreneur has to handle. She quickly connected me with one of her team members, who has done a terrific job helping me with my miscellaneous tasks as a virtual assistant, particularly helping me stay on top of my events and my social media. Grateful for all of the help that Marney and SML have been to me even after only a few months!

Proactive & Impressive
I have been working with Marney and SML for a few years now, and I can definitely attribute the growth of my business to her team. They have provided me with critical outsourced marketing support that allowed me to concentrate on what I'm best at - Business Development. The staff I work with is proactive, bringing me fresh ideas before I have to ask for them. Marney and Pam are so good, that I continue to give them more work to do, and they continue to impress me with their ability to complete any task I ask of them.

Creative & Trustworthy
As our fractional marketing guru over the past year, Strategic Management & Logistics, specifically Amanda Garion, lifts the burden of planning and executing our marketing initiatives. She does the creative thinking for me, allowing time back in my day to focus on HR, and our clients. I completely trust her input, ideas, and her follow-through is stellar, which lifts a major burden from my desk. It’s as if we’ve been working together for years and years. Can’t speak highly enough for the ongoing efforts, and am super grateful for it.

Dynamic & Contemporary
I’ve been working with Strategic Management & Logistics for a number of years in support of my product development consulting business and I couldn’t be happier.
The nature of my work touches many different professional disciplines and brings with it the need for a dynamic administrative support model with broad capabilities. This is exactly what I get from SML… a team of professionals who have the capability to plug into any business situation, are always growing their areas of expertise, and are consistently professional yet friendly.
Uncertainty and the large number of items competing for our attention can make the entrepreneurial journey a stressful one. And as the virtual administrative support space becomes more crowded, finding the best support choice can be yet another thing to worry about. Thankfully, I have SML in my corner as the obvious go-to choice. SML gives me peace of mind and a clear competitive advantage as I work to grow & expand.
My heartfelt thanks to Marney for helping Acumen CPG succeed! I stand in admiration of SML’s prodigious talents, passion for continual learning, and a support model that is both contemporary and affordable.
