Stefanie has been my brand building guru. She helped define, nurture, and grow my brand as a keynote speaker and subject matter expert.

I have come to trust her as equal parts mentor, peer, and badass inspiration!

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with Stefanie Couch and Grit Blueprint in support of Do it Best and True Value members and retailers. Stefanie brings a rare combination of strategic marketing expertise, practical insight, and firsthand industry experience that makes her guidance both relevant and actionable. What sets Grit Blueprint apart is Stefanie's ability to understand real business challenges and provide marketing support that is grounded in experience, not just theory. She takes the time to understand business objectives, offers thoughtful recommendations, and helps develop clear, effective strategies that can be put into action right away. Stefanie is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping businesses succeed. Her understanding of the independent home improvement industry allows her to deliver meaningful value to the retailers and organizations she serves. I highly recommend Grit Blueprint to any business looking for strategic marketing support from someone who truly understands the industry.

I have worked extensively with Stefanie [Couch] for the last 2-1/2 years. We originally engaged her to help with our millwork programs, but this has since evolved into branding strategies, education on the business use of social media, AI engagement, and much, much more. Stefanie is a force to be reckoned with. She is driven to succeed and will help you get across the finish line first, even if she has to drag you herself. Do NOT underestimate this incredibly intelligent and dedicated woman.

Our organization (Cofer Brothers) has been working with Stefanie and team of Grit Blueprint for over a year now, and we absolutely plan to stay engaged in this relationship. Grit has not only helped with our social media presence, but they've also structured an array of resources and new revenue channels that have already proven fruitful. Stefanie comes from a background in the building materials industry so she understands the nuances of helping our unique business model flourish. Despite having several other accounts and customers, [Stefanie] (and other members of her team) are seemingly always available to hop on a quick call or help out when needed. Grit's level of customer service and support is simply unparalleled. For any business out there looking to expand their footprint, visibility, or revenue flow, I cannot recommend Stefanie and her team enough.

I have had the opportunity to work with the Stefanie for more than 5 years prior to Grit in various capacities. My experiences with Stefanie, Ben, and the entire Grit team have been exceptional and consistent with Stefanie/Ben from the early days. Great understanding of the industry and common-sense approach to value and scalable growth helping companies in their journeys. I highly recommend their team if you are looking for expert consultive partnership for life. Give them a call and prove me wrong!
