Sometimes you just need someone who gets it – someone who has been in the thick of running operations, managing teams, and juggling a million priorities while trying to grow something meaningful.

That someone is me. I am Elyss, and I help small businesses untangle the messy bits so they can focus on what they do best.

About EDL Consulting

After 20+ years of hands-on experience in sales, marketing, operations and strategy, I know that every business is beautifully different. What works for one might not work for another, and that is exactly why I do not do cookie-cutter solutions.

I listen first. Really listen. Then we figure out what you actually need – whether that is streamlining your processes, getting trade-ready, managing busy periods, or simply having someone to bounce ideas off who understands the challenges of running a business.

What I do:

  • Business Development & Strategy – Let us map out where you want to go and how to get there

  • Systems & Process Improvement – Making your day-to-day smoother and more efficient

  • Trade Readiness – Getting you ready for domestic and international opportunities

  • Overflow Support – Extra hands when you need them most

  • Market Insights & Partnerships – Connecting you with the right people and opportunities

Ready to have that conversation?

You do not need to have it all figured out. Sometimes the best first step is simply talking through what is on your mind with someone who has been there.
