Meet Kat

Katrina Sawa is known as The JumpStart Your Biz Coach because she literally kicks her clients and their businesses into high gear.  She works with highly motivated women entrepreneurs that want to maximize and fast-track their business to make more money and enjoy more free time.  Katrina uses online and offline Relationship Marketing Systems & Strategies to leverage your resources, contacts and your expertise; plus she kicks you in the butt to implement it all too!

"I believe you need to build your business the right way from the start if you're really SERIOUS about what you're doing and want to be successful, otherwise you've just built yourself a JOB or hobby, not a business."

Since 2006 however, Katrina has transformed her local, hourly-fee based business into an international online marketing coaching and info-product company and she loves to help other women entrepreneurs figure out how and what to sell online as well so YOU can live the lifestyle of YOUR dreams! 

Named "The Networking Queen" by peers and clients.
Katrina has been named "The Networking Queen" by her peers and clients ever since she founded her business in 2002. She was always found out mingling at chamber of commerce mixers, business networking events and expos and any event she could attend where her target market would be in attendance. (Now she's networking globally online too!)

From the Corporate World to
Becoming a Marketing Solopreneur!

As a former advertising Account Executive at The Sacramento Bee, the main newspaper in the Sacramento, California area, Katrina loved working with small businesses on how to effectively market their business; often times recommending strategies other than advertising in the paper.

As a Sales & Marketing Director at a retirement community she loved the guerilla marketing tactics used to build relationships with her referral sources and contacts.

From those two corporate positions, Katrina decided that in her heart she really wanted to work with small business owners to help them make sure they had the knowledge and tools they needed to make educated marketing decisions. 

"You're an expert in your business, product or service I'm sure, but more than likely you're NOT an expert in running or marketing it; this is where you want to hire someone like me who can help you get the right plan in place to build the business the right way from the start."

Desiring to control her own destiny and provide a little more freedom in her life, she formed her own marketing, publicity, advertising and graphic design firm, K. Sawa Marketing.  Nowadays Katrina solely focuses on working with women entrepreneurs (with a few men who believe in her marketing style).  The company has transformed into K. Sawa Marketing International Inc. with Kat's clients in over 7 different countries!

Katrina takes them to the NEXT LEVEL in their business, fast and furiously! 

"The object is to design your business around your life, not fit your life in around your business."

As the company's principal business and marketing coach, she specializes in taking women entrepreneurs from surviving to THRIVING in your businesses.

She works with small and home based entrepreneurs on developing creative, effective and affordable RELATIONSHIP & INTERACTIVE Marketing & Follow Up Systems. Katrina works with clients one-on-one or in groups to brainstorm, develop, design, coordinate and implement all your marketing activities - AND TO DESIGN THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS!

A dynamic speaker whose presentation style is "very direct and down to earth" Katrina has spoken to multiple chamber of commerce memberships, eWomenNetwork, Placer Women's Network, the Professional Wedding Guild, Sacramento Coaches Association, Sacramento Home Inspector Association, Mary Kay sales teams, National Association of Women Business Owners, American Business Women's Association, Small Business Association meetings, Juice Plus Regional Conference, Creative Memories Regional Conference, Alliance Title company meetings, The Virtual Nation, LifeMoxie's Women's Economic Power Day, EntrePalooza, Stockton Women's Network, high schools and various private businesses. (See Katrina's SPEAKING CALENDAR here.)

An avid gardener, wine buff, decorator and entertainer, Katrina enjoys the sunshine of Northern California. She grew up not too far from the Sacramento area in Vacaville, California and then received her B.S. in Business, Marketing Concentration, from California State University, Sacramento. Katrina currently lives in Roseville, California with her boyfriend Scott and his two girls and Kat's German Shepherd, Zeke, by her side.

When I first opened my doors at Cybertary, Katrina helped me hit the ground running with my marketing efforts. She jumped right in and helped produce a creative and strategic marketing plan for Cybertary franchisees and helped me brainstorm winning promotional ad copy-all with a relatively minimal investment and great bang for the buck.

Katrina worked conscientiously within the vision of my business and within the constraints of my budget. By helping me make a few connections within her comprehensive list of business associations, she gave me the proper kick in the pants I needed to get networking and moving toward the growth I imagined.

Ultimately, it was Katrina who made the right connections to land my business in a feature spot on Good Day Sacramento (TV show). This and her other innovative and effective solutions gave Cybertary the results we needed to make the next step toward the bigger business goals.
