About Us
If all we ever do is make money, we will have failed
Every business exists to make money. We do it by solving complex sales & marketing problems. For more than two decades and for hundreds of clients, we’ve applied the science of behavioral psychology and the art of design to help our clients align their sales and marketing efforts around the customer — all to sell more.
But we measure our business by more than our ability to make money. Three questions lie at the heart of our purpose:
- Are we enriching the lives of our clients?
- Are we enriching the lives of our people?
- Are we enriching the lives of the people in our community?
What’s the point of making money, after all, if we don’t also make people’s lives better? That’s our purpose.
That’s why our business exists. Ambitious? Certainly. But it’s about helping our clients build businesses that last. When our work is effective and our clients are successful, that does more than build wealth for the owners. It creates opportunities within their organizations and within the community for people to pursue their own dreams. That’s the point — when we succeed, we all succeed.

More about Sean
Sean Doyle
Co-Founder, Principal, Director of Strategy
Sean is a principal at FitzMartin, and our leading mind and voice on sales and marketing strategy. Sean is particularly adept at applying the science of behavior change to the art of sales and marketing. It’s an approach that he and FitzMartin have developed over thousands of client engagements since 1992.
Sean is an author and speaker. His first book, Shift: 19 practical, business-driven ideas for an executive in charge of marketing but not trained for the task, was published by Rockbench Publishing in 2018.
The bottom line? Sean, for the length of his career, has been helping emerging middle-market clients acquire more and more profitable customers. While the principles he uses work in almost any industry, Sean has particular experience in manufactured goods, professional services, carpet, software, and healthcare equipment. Sean’s core principle applied: “Few companies fail for lack of quality products or services. Most companies fail for a lack of revenue. If nothing gets sold, nothing else really matters.”
Every marketer, when asked for a list of representative clients, will pull out the biggest names in their portfolio. For Sean, it’s Georgia Pacific, the Southeastern Conference (yes the college sports empire), BBVA Compass (one of the largest banks on the globe) among other attention getters.
But the truth is that Sean has spent most of his career helping the kinds of companies that make up most of American business.
“Most of my clients are owners and executives who live with the daily pressures that come when cash flow is unpredictable. They are worried about meeting payroll. They are worried about short-term sales. They are worried about the twin obstacles of regulation and competition. My clients prefer answers to rhetoric. They prefer good enough to the perfect solution at 5x the cost and twice the time to implement.”
