7 Steps to Create a Social Media Strategy that Generates Business
The way that people purchase products and services has changed. Traditional media like TV, radio, and billboards are failing because they can’t capture the attention of the customer. With the Internet, buyers start the sales process without you. They do the research online and have already come to a conclusion before ever talking to you.
So what do you need to do differently? You need to stop talking, start listening, and then offer value that helps your potential customer solve their challenges. Social media is a platform to listen, offer value, build trust and then ask for business. You build your brand and trust through connection, caring, and credibility.
Social media can be a powerful tool for businesses to get the attention of customers if done correctly. This presentation will outline the seven steps to create a social media strategy that actually generates business.

Testimonials
“Dear Sue,
I just wanted to tell you what a great job you did when you presented to the Women’s Business Initiative members on Social Media. There was a very different level of social media sophistication in the room and you were able to answer everyone’s questions and present the material in a way that was very easy for everyone to understand.
As a small, woman business owner yourself, you offered valuable tips and a decision making framework to save time and do more with less, which is important for time starved entrepreneurs. You even addressed the importance of branding and blogging for small business owners to position themselves as experts in their field.
Your knowledge of social media marketing was superb, your enthusiasm was contagious and we will definitely have you speak for our organization again. Thank you for a wonderful, engaging presentation.”

“Sue, I want to thank you for presenting How to Market Your Business with Pinterest for our patrons at the Downers Grove Public Library. You were wonderful! Using Pinterest, or any social media, to market a business was a new concept for some of the attendees, and you answered their questions fully and clearly. You are certainly knowledgeable on using Pinterest and how to use it for business opportunities.
On my end, you were an ideal presenter to work with. So knowledgeable, organized, and enthusiastic! You provided me with your presentation descriptions in a professional, timely manner and you were flexible when we had to add an additional date because the presentation had sold out. You’re the best!
I look forward to your next presentation on Pinterest 101.”
