About
From Empty Tables to Thriving Communities
In 2017, I owned a Barter Exchange franchise, helping local businesses trade goods and services without cash while building strong, genuine relationships with other business owners.
One afternoon, a friend called from a nearly empty restaurant -30 tables, only two occupied.
“Jeff,” he said, “these places are struggling. I’ve got an idea and need your marketing input.”
That conversation changed everything.
When I dug into the numbers, the truth was clear:
- Restaurant emails? 10–13% open rates. Other industries were similar.
- Social media posts? 2–3% reach.
- Text marketing? 97–98% read rates—and 80% of consumers preferred it.
- The kicker? Over 70% of first-time customers never return.
That last stat lit the fire
We built a text-based retention program that brought customers back again and again.
The Turning Point
Then, life threw curveballs. COVID hit. Marketing budgets disappeared. And in 2022, a health issue forced me to sell the barter exchange I’d poured my heart into for 13 years.
But one thing was clear:
My strength had always been bringing people together. I’m proficient at creating community between businesses and their customers as well as Businesses with each other. I wasn’t going to walk away from that.
So, I turned My Quick Results from a side project into my main business.
My Quick Results 2.0
Small businesses needed more than texts or point-based apps. They needed relationships and authentic connections with their customers.
We added smarter, simpler retention strategies – Digital Stamp/Punch Cards, Refer a friend, Membership Plans, Mobile Coupons, and more. All designed specifically for independent businesses, not corporate chains.
