Alison Ryan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Learning At The Primary Pond, Inc.
We worked with First Step Advisors to put together a marketing and sales strategy plan for our phonics program, and we had a wonderful experience! Jim, Marla, and the team were so easy to work with. They were organized, and the accompanying materials they provided to us were clear and easy to use. Our team has continued to use the resources and insight they provided us, long after we finished working together! Their support and guidance has helped us reach many more schools, providing hundreds of teachers with the right tools so their students can become strong readers.
