For service-based business owners who are tired of working nonstop…and still not seeing consistent sales.
Your marketing isn’t broken, but your strategy might be.
If sales feel random, this is why.
Modern Marketing Mastery gives you a clear, stage-by-stage roadmap so you know exactly what to do next — and why — at every step of your customer’s journey.
Let me guess.
You’re doing something with your marketing.
Probably a lot of “somethings”.
Posting. Emailing. Tweaking your offer.
Saving reels. Watching webinars. Trying to keep up.
And yet…
Sales still feel inconsistent. Confidence still feels shaky.
And every new tactic just adds more to your to-do list and not to your bottom line.
Here’s the real question:
What if the problem isn’t that you aren’t doing enough,
but that you aren’t doing the marketing activities that actually move the needle?
The Real Problem
Most small business owners aren’t overwhelmed because marketing is “too much.” They’re overwhelmed because they don’t know what matters. When everything feels important, nothing gets done well.
So you end up:
- Jumping from tactic to tactic
- Hoping visibility on social media magically turns into sales
- Spending time (and $$$) without knowing what’s really working
And that creates the worst feeling of all: “I’m working so hard… why isn’t this paying off?”
This is nothing to be embarrassed about. This isn’t a motivation problem. And it’s definitely not a talent problem.
It’s a strategy problem.
This is why it happens
(and why it's not your fault)
You are not bad at marketing. You’ve likely been given tactics without strategy. And that creates confusion, not sales.
A lot of marketing courses teach:
👉 Tactics without context
👉 Tools without strategy
👉 Funnels that don’t match how real humans buy
You’re handed a checklist and told, “just do this.”
Or they simplify it to the point where it’s not helpful.
That’s how smart business owners end up with marketing soup.🍲 It might look good, but it’s just mush.
I know, because I’ve seen it over and over again with my clients.
But you need to know…
👉 What to do first
👉 What to ignore
👉 How it all fits together
👉 What to do if it’s not working
Modern Marketing Mastery is not about doing more marketing. It’s about doing the right marketing, in the right order, so sales stop feeling random.
Where Marketing Funnels Fail...
Funnels assume people move in a straight line from awareness to purchase.
But real people don’t buy that way.
They hesitate. They compare. They leave and come back. They need different things at different stages.
That’s why I created the Trail to the Sale™.
It’s not a funnel. It’s a customer-first roadmap built on human behavior & decision psychology.
Instead of asking, “What should I post?” You ask, “What does my customer need right now to move forward?”
Most marketing courses teach tactics.
Modern Marketing Mastery teaches decision-making.
You won’t just learn what to do.
You’ll understand why you’re doing it — and how it connects to revenue.
That’s the difference. And that one shift changes everything.
Introducing Modern Marketing Mastery
Modern Marketing Mastery is an 8-week, small business marketing strategy reset designed to help you:
✔ Stop guessing
✔ Focus your effort
✔ Build a clear, personalized marketing roadmap
✔ Confidently know what to do each step of the way, from the moment they learn about your business to the point where they buy, love your offer, and refer others.
This isn’t about doing more marketing.
It’s about doing the right marketing, in the right order, to reach your right customer.
Here’s what your marketing will look like
after completing the course:
01
Have a documented marketing strategy you can actually follow
02
Map your own customer’s Trail to the Sale™ from awareness to decision and beyond
03
Clarify your ideal customer and messaging so it finally clicks
04
Know which marketing channels deserve your time (and which don’t)
05
Feel confident making marketing decisions without second-guessing
06
Replace random acts of marketing with a repeatable system
And maybe most importantly…you’ll stop feeling behind, overwhelmed, and frustrated.
You’ll start seeing clarity and direction in the first 1–2 weeks as you define your audience and message. You’ll start seeing marketing traction — more engagement, better responses, and leads — within 30–60 days as you apply your strategy.
And you’ll have a complete, repeatable marketing plan by the end of the 8-week course. And access (with updates) for life.
Modern Marketing Mastery is a good fit for you if:
✅ You run a service-based business
✅ You’re tired of throwing effort at marketing without clear results
✅ You want clarity instead of more tasks to do
✅ You’re willing to do the work — thoughtfully and strategically
✅ You want to build a business that grows without burning you out
Modern Marketing Mastery is NOT a good fit for you if:
🚫 You want marketing done for you
🚫 You have a primarily product-based business
🚫 You’re not willing to stretch or try a new approach
🚫 You want quick hacks without understanding how it works
🚫 You plan to keep doing what you’ve always done and hope it changes
What Happens When You Join?
You don’t get dumped into a pile of videos. In the first two weeks, you will:
✔ Clarify exactly who you’re targeting
✔ Refine your core message so it finally clicks
✔ Identify what to STOP doing immediately
Most students start feeling relief fast — because clarity replaces chaos.
00
Module 0: Welcome & Goal Setting
We start by getting you out of reaction mode and into intention mode. You’ll clarify what you actually want your marketing to do (sales, leads, visibility—and why) by looking first at your business goals. So you’re not just “doing more,” you’re doing what moves the needle in your business. This module sets the compass for everything that follows, so every action you take moves toward sales.
01
Module 1: All About Your Customer
This is where everything clicks. You’ll define who you’re really trying to reach, what they care about, and how they make buying decisions—without getting stuck in who you just think you’re talking to. When you truly understand your customer, your messaging gets easier, your content resonates, and your marketing feels so much clearer.
02
Module 2: Magnetic Messaging That Attracts & Converts
No more sounding like everyone else. You’ll craft clear, compelling messaging that speaks directly to your customer’s problems and positions you as the obvious choice. We’ll connect the dots between what you offer, why it matters, and how to say it in a way that actually leads to sales. Just clear messaging that builds trust and moves people to action.
03
Module 3: Building Awareness
Visibility is useless without strategy. In this module, you’ll decide where to show up, what channels actually make sense for your stage of business, and how to stop spreading yourself too thin. You’ll walk away with a focused awareness plan that builds momentum instead of burnout. One clear path beats five half-finished ones.
04
Module 4: Consider & Compare
This is where most businesses lose people—and don’t even realize it. You’ll learn how to nurture interest, build trust, grow your email list, and guide potential customers as they think, compare, and hesitate. You’ll build trust before the sales conversation, so selling feels easier and safer for them.
05
Module 5: Evaluate, Sell & Supersize
Selling doesn’t have to feel awkward or pushy. You’ll learn how to confidently present your offer, handle objections, and price for both profit and perception. We’ll also look at how to increase the value of each customer through upsells and next-step offers—without more hustle. If you’ve undercharged, second-guessed your pricing, or avoided selling altogether, this module brings clarity and calm.
06
Module 6: Serve & Send
Great marketing doesn’t stop at the sale. This module shows you how to create a strong customer experience that builds loyalty, referrals, and repeat business. You’ll turn happy customers into your best marketing asset—without constantly chasing new leads. You don’t need a massive audience when your customers stick around and spread the word.
07
Module 7: Metrics: Tracking Your Trail to the Sale™
Finally, we connect strategy to numbers. You’ll learn what to track (and what to ignore), how to measure success at each stage of the Trail to the Sale™, and how to make data-driven decisions without drowning in spreadsheets. Clarity beats chaos, every time.
08
Module 8: Wrap-Up & Your Marketing Roadmap
We bring it all together. You’ll map your full Trail to the Sale™, identify gaps and priorities, and walk away with a clear, realistic marketing roadmap you can actually follow. No more starting over every month. This is how marketing becomes sustainable, even when things get busy. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about finally having a system that makes sense and grows with you.

What My Students Say...
About Janice
If you’ve ever felt like you should understand marketing better by now, chances are you’ll relate to my story.
I’ve spent over 30 years in marketing. I’ve worked with startups, Fortune 100 companies, and nonprofits — and I’ve run my own business for over 15 years.
But when I started my first business, I still struggled with my marketing.
Here’s what I learned: Knowing marketing tactics does NOT mean your marketing will work.
Without a clear strategy, all that knowledge just became noise.
When I started my own business, I tried implementing what I’d learned in my career in marketing: the marketing funnel.
That’s when I realized something important:
👉 The traditional marketing funnel doesn’t reflect how people actually buy.
So I built something better. And that’s what I want to share with you.

Got Questions?
Modern Marketing Mastery is designed to reduce the time you waste on marketing, not add more to your plate. The lessons are intentionally focused, practical, and meant to help you stop doing things that aren’t moving the needle. You don’t need more hours. You need clearer priorities, and this course can help you with that.
Perfect. This is actually the best time to get your marketing aligned. The earlier you build clarity around your customer, message, and strategy, the less you’ll have to undo later. This program isn’t about “scaling to seven figures overnight.” It’s about building a foundation that supports sustainable growth, at any stage.
Most courses fail because they overwhelm you with information and leave you to figure out how it applies to your business. Modern Marketing Mastery is built around decision-making, not just content. Each module helps you decide what to focus on now, what to ignore, and why—so you can actually move forward instead of getting stuck. My Trail to the Sale™ framework guides you along your customer’s journey so you’re able to discern what’s most relevant for them at each stage of their journey.
Nope. This program is beginner-friendly by design. You’ll learn what matters, what doesn’t, and how to keep things simple. No complicated dashboards. No fancy tools required. If you can follow a roadmap and make basic decisions, you can do this.
If you’re a service-based business owner, consultant, coach, or solopreneur who feels overwhelmed by marketing and wants clarity, absolutely. The principles in Modern Marketing Mastery are industry-agnostic because they’re based on how people actually buy—not on trends or platforms that come and go.
Even better. This program isn’t about starting from scratch—it’s about refining and aligning what you’re already doing. You’ll identify gaps, leaks, and missed opportunities along your Trail to the Sale™, so your existing efforts start working together instead of competing for your attention.
But if you are a beginner, I’ll keep things simple to understand so you can start from there too.
You’ll have lifetime access, so you can move at your own pace and revisit modules as your business evolves. Marketing isn’t one-and-done—and this is meant to grow with you.
The weekly coaching calls start the first week in February.
You’re covered. If you decide it’s not for you, you can request a refund within the stated refund period—no awkward explanations required. But we also offer group coaching to encourage you and hold you accountable. I want you to feel confident saying yes, not pressured into it. You can read more about my refund policy here.
Clarity, confidence, and a clear marketing roadmap that replaces guesswork with intention. You may not choose to do everything I recommend in this program, but you’ll finally know what’s worth doing.
Although you’ll get the most out of attending live, sometimes that’s just not possible. That’s why all coaching calls will be recorded and sent out.
Many marketing plans are developed when the business starts and end up sitting in a file cabinet or gathering dust on a shelf. In this course, you will develop a practical marketing system that adapts with your business as it grows.
There are 3 hrs. and 55 minutes of video. Most students plan for 1–3 focused hours per week. That’s it. This isn’t about cramming more marketing into your calendar—it’s about replacing scattered effort with intentional action. You’ll spend less time doing and more time making smart decisions that actually move your business forward.
That’s exactly why Modern Marketing Mastery is structured the way it is. The program is designed to help you focus on one stage at a time, so you’re never trying to fix everything at once. You’ll always know what matters now, what can wait, and what you can safely ignore—so overwhelm doesn’t get a seat at the table.
Yes, 100%. Modern Marketing Mastery is built for service-based businesses, not just course creators. The framework works whether you sell services, retainers, coaching, consulting, or done-for-you work. It’s about how people discover you, trust you, and decide to buy—regardless of what type of service you’re selling.
That’s a fair concern.
A lot of online courses are packed with information… but light on clarity and implementation. You watch the videos, feel motivated for a minute, then life gets busy and nothing actually changes.
Modern Marketing Mastery is designed differently. It’s structured step-by-step, focused on one clear path (the Trail to the Sale™), and built around practical application — not just theory. You’re not left wondering what to do next or how it applies to your business. Plus we have weekly group coaching calls that will help you overcome any obstacle you may encounter.
And here’s the honest truth: no course works without action. But this one is built to make that action simple, focused, and connected — so your effort actually leads somewhere.
No worries, just reach out to hello@janicehostager.com and we’ll answer your questions!
I get it. That happens. Modern Marketing Mastery is structured intentionally. Each module builds on the last — and the live coaching calls help you stay accountable and focused.
You won’t be guessing what to do next. And you’ll have lifetime access, so you can move at a pace that works for your real life.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress.

Join Modern Marketing Mastery risk-free.
