Yours You Own the System
What This Is
This Is Not an Agency.
We Build the System Together.

I'm not here to take your ad account off your hands and run it for you indefinitely. That's not what this is. What I do is work directly with facility owners to build a real, functional athlete acquisition system — get your offer clear, get your creatives dialed in, build and launch your first campaigns, and teach you how to manage it yourself going forward.

You walk away with a live Meta ads system, a running ad account you understand and own, and a repeatable process for bringing in new athletes every month — without needing to hire an agency or hand anything off to someone else long-term.

Offer Clarity We get specific on what you're selling, who it's for, and how to position it in an ad. If your offer isn't clear, no amount of ad spend will fix it — we start here.
Creative Direction We figure out what to say and how to say it. Hooks, messaging, ad angles — you don't need a social media person. You need copy that converts parents into booked consultations.
Ad Account Build & Launch We build out your Meta ads account the right way — campaign structure, targeting, landing page, and lead follow-up — and get your first campaigns live together.
Training & Handoff You learn how to read the data, make adjustments, and keep the system running. When we're done, you own it — no dependency, no monthly retainer, no middleman.
This System Works Real Facilities. Real Leads Coming In. What happens when you stop guessing and put a real system behind your ads.
📍 Lead Flow ★★★★★ "I've hired social media gurus and ran ads on my own twice and wasted almost $8,000 with nothing to show for it. Dave rebuilt the whole thing from the eyes of a facility owner...new creatives, new targeting, new landing page, new sales funnel. We had 14 leads in the first two weeks and closed 6 of them."

📍 Target the right athletes ★★★★★ "Dave helped us go from basically using only word of mouth to a legit marketing system to bring in new athletes in our area. We now know exactly how to position our offers in front of the right athletes. Wish I'd done this a year ago."

📍 Systems & Structure ★★★★★ "Big motivation to my business. Dave helped me take it to another level — not just coaching, but quality service, structure, communication, and marketing systems. He's paving the way for facility owners."

📍 Sold Out ★★★★★ "One call with Dave and everything clicked. We cleaned up our offer, tightened our pricing, and went from a half-empty gym to nearly sold out. Still have room to grow, but the foundation is finally there."

The Process
How We Build Your System

From your first call to a live, running ads system in 90 days — built with you, not for you.

01
Book a Call & Get Approved Book a call directly with Dave. He'll review your facility, programs, and goals to confirm this is the right fit before moving forward. We take this step seriously.
02
Get Your Offer & Messaging Clear Before we touch an ad, we get specific on what you're selling and who you're selling it to. This is where most facility owners are leaving money on the table — and where we start.
03
Build & Launch Campaigns Together We build out your Meta ads account, set up the landing page and follow-up sequence, develop your creative direction, and launch your first campaigns — side by side.
04
Learn, Optimize & Take the Wheel As the campaigns run, we show you how to read the data, make adjustments, and scale what's working. By the end of the engagement, you own and operate the system — no ongoing dependency.
Who This Is For
Built for Facility Owners Who Want to Own Their Growth
  • ✓You own or operate a baseball academy, softball program, hitting facility, or performance training center
  • ✓You have programs in place and are ready to fill them with qualified athletes consistently
  • ✓You want to understand how paid ads work — not just hand it off and hope for the best
  • ✓You're willing to be involved in the build — show up, make decisions, do the work alongside us
  • ✓You want a system you own long-term — not a monthly retainer you can never cancel
This is not for you if:
  • You want to hand everything off and disappear — this requires your involvement
  • You have no programs or existing clients to build from
  • You're not willing to commit a reasonable monthly ad budget to run the system
If that sounds like you — you're exactly who this is built for.
One call is all it takes to find out if we're the right fit.

Dave Bartek — Facility Scale Strategies
About Dave Bartek
A Facility Owner Who Figured This Out — Not an Agency

Dave Bartek is the co-founder of Athletek Baseball in Atlanta. He didn't learn paid ads in a course or a classroom — he figured it out by running them inside his own facility, with his own money, building the athlete acquisition system that helped take Athletek from six to seven figures.

This isn't consulting from the outside. Dave has been in the same seat you're in — trying to fill programs, figure out what offer to run, and make ads actually convert. That context is what makes this different from working with a marketing agency that has no idea what a hitting lesson is.

He works with a small number of facility owners each quarter, walks them through building the exact system Athletek runs, and hands it off so they own it going forward.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
This is not an agency relationship where you hand us your ad account and we run it indefinitely. We work alongside you — building your offer, your creative direction, your campaigns, and your follow-up system — and we teach you how to operate it. You're involved throughout. When the engagement ends, you own everything and know how to run it yourself.
This isn't passive. You'll need to show up for calls, make decisions on your offer and messaging, and be responsive as leads come in. The more engaged you are, the faster and better the results. Think of it as building something you'll own — that's worth showing up for.
No experience needed. We start from scratch if that's where you are. If you've run ads before with mixed results, that's actually useful — we'll figure out what went wrong and build it the right way from there.
Primarily baseball academies, hitting facilities, softball programs, and strength and conditioning facilities. The athlete acquisition framework applies broadly across training-based sports facilities — we'll confirm fit on your intro call.
That's the target range we build toward — the range reflects the reality that results depend on your market, programs, pricing, and how fast you follow up. We'll give you an honest assessment of what's realistic for your specific facility before we start.
Structured around a 90-day build. The goal is to have a live, running system you understand and can manage independently by the end of that window. Scope and investment are discussed directly on your intro call with Dave.
Because the guarantee only works when the fit is right. If you don't have programs in place to onboard new athletes, aren't willing to commit an ad budget, or aren't going to show up and do the work — this won't produce results, and I won't take you on. That's not a sales tactic, it's just honest. The intro call exists so we can both make a clear-eyed decision before anyone commits.

2X GUARANTEE Results Guarantee
2X Return on Your Investment —
Guaranteed.

If you implement what we build together and don't generate at least 2x your investment — including $10,000+ in new revenue from the athlete acquisition system we build, we keep working with you at no additional cost until you do.

We're selective about who we take on precisely because this guarantee only holds when both sides show up fully. You build it with us, you run what we hand you, and the results follow.

No fine print. No runaround. If you do the work, we stand behind the outcome.
