About Us
We’ve named our practice Valve+Meter because the variables we can manage with you are the flow and cost of new business. The “valve” part of our approach manages the right rate of new business for your operation, and we set our pricing with you not based on the activities we pursue but on the “metered” results we generate.
Mission
We exist to change the way businesses approach marketing by delivering abundance and accountability with a customer cost per acquisition strategy.
Vision
We inspire businesses to look at marketing as a revenue center rather than a cost center.

- Think: Focus. Find a way forward.
- Love: Act in the long-term best interest of another.
- Serve: Meet expectations. Go the extra mile.
- Transform: Create dramatic change. Be irreplaceable.
- Be Just: Be fair and transparent. Do no harm.
