Golden Nuggets for Creating
Effective Marketing That Really Works!

Wednesday – March 28, 2012

Any business owner – small or large – needs to know how to attract new clients – and retain current customers! Getting the word out in an effective and professional manner is even more critical now than ever before – with increasing social media and the Information Age of technologies and millions of “messages” we receive each day. Your marketing image can capture (or repel) those potential clients. Effectively designed and promotions establish your credibility – showcase your expertise – and confirm their need to hire you!

Thanks to you, Sheryl,  for your wisdom and enthusiasm, as well as great humor. You really walk the talk.  Your energy made it really easy to get this set up and create buzz.  I’m getting really positive feedback from folks that were on the call so you struck “gold” with us as well.
