Background

About Chris Alphen

My grandfather taught me how to build from the ground up. But I was a kid—and like every other kid I wanted to start at the top. The funny thing is the only job where you can start at the top is digging a hole. So my grandfather made me suffer through endless sessions of planning, measuring, and writing things down. And then he handed me a shovel. Those childhood lessons must have sunk in. Not all at once but by the time I became a regional sales manager at a Fortune 500 Co I knew that my toolbox was my friend. I leveraged every tool in the shed to develop a functional system supporting the entire sales process and our division soon became #1 worldwide. In those days there was no internet so organizations employed people to do much of the work that the internet does today. Of course we all know the internet doesn’t actually do anything—it’s just a tool shed. But this shed on the web is enormous—it even has clouds. The real work on the internet is done by the tools inside the cloud. At Early and Often Marketing we optimize tools that businesses rely on to gain traction online. The entire digital Eco-system needs to be tuned up and turned on. I've developed a potent process, including customized tools, to transform the infrastructure into the marketing equivalent of a three legged stool.
