Questions from St. Louis owners
What kind of St. Louis businesses do you support best?
We work with small and mid-sized firms across St. Louis’ manufacturing, logistics-enabled services, professional services, healthcare-adjacent operations, and multi-location retail. If you’re scaling, changing leadership, or struggling with delivery consistency, we can help.
Do you serve St. Louis clients remotely since you’re based in Vancouver?
Yes. Modern Marks serves St. Louis as a service area with remote leadership support using structured check-ins, KPI reviews, and hands-on planning. When it’s practical, we can also meet on-site to align teams and accelerate implementation.
How do you address operational problems like bottlenecks, unclear ownership, and reporting gaps?
We map your current workflow, define decision rights and ownership, and establish an operating cadence (planning, execution, and review). You’ll get concrete improvements—clear handoffs, measurable targets, and simple reporting your team can sustain.
Can business coaching help even if we already have managers in place?
Yes. Coaching targets behaviour and execution: setting priorities, managing trade-offs, leading through change, and reinforcing accountability. It complements process work by making sure decisions and follow-through happen consistently.
What’s the difference between consulting, coaching, and a fractional-COO?
Consulting diagnoses and designs the direction and systems. Coaching develops the leaders who must make the system work. Fractional-COO leadership runs and improves operations over time—so strategy becomes consistent delivery, not a one-time plan.

What business owners say about us
I just had a phone call with Jani, and it was fantastic.
As someone in the renovation industry, I’ve always found it difficult to trust business coaches because it’s easy to assume they won’t fully understand the unique challenges of running a construction company. I’m really glad I gave Jani the opportunity.
Even without a construction background, Jani quickly identified gaps in my systems and processes, asked the right questions, and provided practical advice that gave me a much clearer path forward. His ability to understand my business and pinpoint areas for improvement was genuinely impressive.
If you’re looking for a business coach who can help you build better systems, improve operations, and scale your business with confidence, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jani.
Had a great conversation with Jani. He took the time to research my business beforehand and came to the call prepared with thoughtful ideas and a fresh perspective. I appreciated that the discussion was practical, specific to my company, and provided a few actionable opportunities to consider. Thanks again for your time and insights.
Outstanding marketing, SEO, and consulting services! Their expertise has helped improve our online presence, increase visibility, and attract more potential clients. They take the time to understand our business goals and provide practical, results-driven strategies. Communication is always prompt, and helpful. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to grow their business and strengthen their digital marketing efforts.
I wasn't sure coaching was worth the money but Modern Marks proved me wrong. I was working long weeks and stressed all the time. They helped me set up real systems so things run without me. I took a week off recently and nothing fell apart!! solid business coaching, definitely recommend
Jani was incredibly helpful in providing detailed and actionable guidance about how to overcome specific roadblocks in my business. It's valuable to get perspective from someone who has achieved the things you're striving to. Very high quality consultation. Highly recommend Modern Marks.
Modern marks business consulting services has been a monumental help in my new pressure washing startup in every way for the last 3+ years. I have now had hundreds of hours one-on-one with Jani, who has helped me take my business to a new level, helping me build systems in marketing, sales, operations, finance and more. If you are serious about growth in any small to medium sized business, I would 100% recommend their consulting services.
