When you join, you receive far more than a certification. You gain access to step-by-step systems built specifically for marketing businesses to attract highly qualified leads, close them faster, and deliver exceptional outcomes. These resources include a listing in our Guide directory, proven website and funnel templates for marketing services, plug-and-play ads that educate and warm up prospects before a sales call, social media and follow-up email playbooks, client pitch decks that shorten the sales cycle, a menu of licensed StoryBrand marketing products you can sell at premium prices, pricing guidelines to help you stop discounting and confidently charge what you’re worth, keynote presentations you’re licensed to deliver on stages or webinars, and playbooks for launching your own mastermind or hiring your first virtual assistant. You don’t have to use every tool—but hundreds of successful Guides do, because this system works.

Just as importantly, you do not enter the market alone. More than 1.5 million small business owners have trusted StoryBrand with their contact information, and each week through WeeklySoundbite.com we encourage them to hire a StoryBrand Certified Guide to help them create a marketing campaign that works. We actively vouch for our Guides in the marketplace, allowing you to borrow the authority, trust, and visibility StoryBrand has earned over years of service to small businesses. We take no percentage of your revenue—you keep everything you earn. Our role is to resource you, certify you, and surround you with a community of experienced marketing professionals who have collectively billed hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing strategy and execution. Many Guides reach a $400k run rate within 12 months and cross the $400k mark in their second year—not because it’s guaranteed, but because the system is designed around that outcome and supported by proven tools, coaching, and community. If your goal is to build a serious solo marketing business and focus on delivering great marketing instead of worrying about leads and sales, apply for certification to see if the StoryBrand Certified Guide Program is the right fit.
