TAMARA SMITH

From broadcast TV producer and ad creative to pro makeup artist, I've always been about transformation. (Yes, I started racing motorcycles and mountain bikes after 40!)

As a sales marketer, I don't just boost numbers – I inspire people and businesses to achieve big goals and rethink what's possible. My mantra? Just get started.

With 15+ years in sales leadership consistently driving double-digit growth, I've mastered the art of turning attention into results. I now help clients develop smart, scalable sales solutions that drive growth. Before launching Studio Three 49, I earned my on-the-job MBA representing notable brands such as Jack Morton Worldwide, Neiman Marcus, and Ann Sacks Tile & Stone.

When I’m not helping clients build reliable sales systems, you’ll likely find me rock climbing or mapping out my next adventure with my Supermutt, Ila, in Durham, NC.
