Research, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation. Now add marketing strategy, spotting trends, storytelling, content creation, analytics and engagement into the mix. Is your company incorporating any or all of these tactics to your marketing strategy/plan? Are your current tactics not working? Why are they not working? Let me simplify your approach. I will be honest and straight forward and create processes for your team to follow. Iโve consulted with hundreds of businesses over the years and many times the solution is right in front of them. All that is needed is an outside person to bring in a different perspective.
I will bring a free flowing and innovative spirit to your team. I will be organized and provide you with a blueprint; step by step instructions on how achieve your marketing goals. Iโm innovative and love to try new ways of doing things with creativity leading the way in how I operate. If itโs not fun or excitingโฆdonโt do it. If itโs not workingโฆshift away from it. Look to marry ROI with creativity and once you find itโฆkeep doing it!
I told myself that when I was ready that I would offer a course that eliminated all the frustration I was faced with when I first started my social media management journey. Since that time, Iโve grown my companyโs audience 75%. We have built a community that is engaged and have helped us grow. They are passionate, they post comments and share our post. They raise money for us, close to $200k in five years and they helped me bring our state a personalized license plate. My campaigns and strategies have won me six Golden Spike Awards including the best of show, given to the best campaign in the state.
I will teach you what Iโve learned, every step I took, to get me to where I am now. I offer two courses. One is live and one is taped. The live version is a 6-week course with only five
individuals at a time. Anything bigger and the effectiveness will suffer. By being a small groupโฆI will be able to give each person personalized attention, and everyone will be able to learn from each other. It does not matter what type of business you are in. The fundamental tools will be there for you to take into your social media management strategy.
The second course will be a set of video tutorials that you will watch at your convenience. It is less expensive than the live course because it wonโt offer the personalized attention from me. You will still get the same content, but you wonโt be able to ask me specific questions on how you can take the concepts and implement them into your business.
One thing I love to do is teach. I love to talk about what Iโve learned over my career and teach others what worked for me and more importantly what not to do. The best way to do that is by telling stories. Iโve been a storyteller my entire career, mostly through the lens of a video camera though now I do it in classrooms, conferences and meetings. I get asked to speak about my career path, what I have done to get to where I am and primarily my award-winning marketing strategies.
I bring in stories from my life that have shaped my career. Some are inspirational and some are funny. Actually, they are always funny. I love to laugh at myself and I donโt take things seriously. Iโve failed many times in my career and I will fail many more times in the future but the more I fail, the more I succeed so Iโm not afraid of failure. I expect it. I look forward to it because each time I fail, I come back better.
Take speaking as an example. Getting up in front of a group of people doesnโt came naturally to me. In fact, I was scared to death every time I had to do it in class as a young boy. I never thought I would be able to do it until I started watching my wife get up and speak to crowds of hundreds at conferences. We had a client who taught people to be better speakers and the little voice in my head thoughtโฆmaybe I could do it. If I had to.
Guess whatโฆI had to one day. I won the best in show award and I had to get up and deliver a short speech on my winning entry. It wasnโt bad. It was okay. I then did it again a few more times and guess whatโฆthey got better. Now, I donโt event think about it. I knew that if I ever wanted to get to where I want to be in my career, I had to do hard things. Speaking and giving presentations to a group of people (large or small) was something that I had to do. Iโm doing it now.
So, if you want to hear more about my life and career, you want me to teach you what has made me successful, book me to speak at your next event.
