Meet the Founder & The Local Business Connector – Ann Marie Walts

Ann Marie Walts knows firsthand what it takes to run a successful local business.

She automated her first business—a salon—back in 2004, long before automation was mainstream.

Through that experience, she discovered the power of

systems, efficiency, and smart marketing in creating a thriving business.

Since then, she’s been helping business owners scale, streamline, and succeed by implementing automation strategies that cut out busy work and drive real growth.

Now, as the founder of LocalBizConnector and Western Mass & CT Business Buddies

, she’s on a mission to help local businesses connect, collaborate, and grow—without getting buried in the daily grind.

Ann has been amazingly helpful through the process, explaining what works and what doesn't. I've tried other marketing businesses in the past, but either they don't deliver, or they completely disappear on me! Working with Ann Marie Walts is definitely going to get me and my business seen!
