A great project for your Social Media Specialist

September 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I belong to a few groups on LinkedIn. Recently, one of the groups posted a discussion allowing members to post if they were interested in accepting invitations to connect from other members. Today, I received a digest of the group’s discussions and found that there are over 200 comments from other women entrepreneurs who want to connect. Cool right?

When I started to review other members’ profiles, I began to think that this would be a great project for a social media specialist to handle on behalf of clients. Ideally, the specialist should know the client’s business well enough to determine which connections to make out of the 200+ comments.

We specialize in working one-on-one with clients in an ongoing, collaborative relationship. By doing so, we can freely and proactively act on your behalf in many different ways. The work gets done, connections are made, communities are built, and it’s all done allowing you to focus on other business issues.

Thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment.

Your Partner on the Web,

Busy day today!

May 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Yesterday afternoon I received a message from a marketing consultant in the Minneapolis area. I’ve worked on various projects with her in the past. Today, she needed help with a PowerPoint presentation – one of my favorite admin things to work on. My schedule was flexible this morning and I knew she had a deadline so we both hopped on Skype, collaborated about the project, and an hour later, I sent it back to her for final review. After that, we spoke on the phone about the final changes, I converted the presentation to a .pdf and voila! The project was done and she was on time with her presentation, which by the way she is presenting at this very moment. I hope she gets the client!
Now, I have a few other things to work for other clients and this afternoon, I pick up my daughter for an orthodontist appointment in Mankato. Then I take her home and then drive back to Mankato to network with the W.E.B. group (Women Executives in Business). Tonight’s presentation is “Technology Tools for Efficient Leaders”. I’m a technology addict so I can hardly wait!

Later!

W.E.B. Holiday Party

December 4, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Tonight was the W.E.B. (Women Executives in Business) holiday party. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner and dessert at Contessa Restaurant in Mankato (www.contessafinedine.com).

We shared stories about holiday traditions while growing up and our holiday traditions now.
Susan Chambers entertained us with her poetry.

A special thank you to Julie Hawker for hosting our party. She did a wonderful job.
