About Heather Porter and Thrivology:

"Email has been the most valuable communication mode since the internet's inception.

It is primarily forgotten for what some have believed are shinier pennies. However, email is still the most consistent way to chat with current and potential buyers.

They get to know you, like you and trust that you are the only one that can help them.
It is a not-so-sneaky way to help people connect with you on a large scale with no additional effort of your own.

My life as a mom has taught me the art of multitasking and handling pressure, traits I bring to my work. Kickboxing is my secret recipe for discipline, focus, and resilience. These qualities spill over into my commitment to delivering knockout results!

Under the guidance of copywriting legends like Perry Belcher, Ian Stanley, Russel Brunson, and Dan Kennedy...
I've honed my skills to craft captivating narratives that connect with your audience - on a deeply personal level.✨
I work with all major (ESP) service providers.

But my favorites are Active Campaign, Klaviyo, and Mailer Lite. I leverage each's unique features to give you the desired results."
