About Us

Adam Kipnes has been working with small business owner for the last 17 years and coaching for the last 7.  During this time, Adam has found that most of his clients have the same core situation – Their skill and talent has become their business and they are great at it.  However, they never truely learned how to operate an effective business.  And most everything they have learned about marketing is wrong.

This lack of marketing and business know-how, leads to under-performing companies that never seen to reach their promise.  Through his company The 1495 Group, Adam first finds his clients $10,000 in their first meeting that these business owners can go out and get immediately.  Every business has money just waiting for it.  It’s just a matter of understanding and implementing the correct marketing methods.  True marketing success comes from entering the conversation taking place in the mind of the prospect.
