Client Spotlight: Patricia Sone22 Oct 202000:40:58

As a teacher, Social Media Marketing Training is only as good as your clients' success.  Every client has different needs.  Some clients need training on Instagram and Instagram Stories.  Some clients need training on how to effectively use hashtags.  Others need to revisit their Facebook strategy.  Content is always a challenge, so curating, organizing and planning content is a need for most people.  And many business owners have an email list, but need to set up a recurring newsletter communication.  

As a Social Media Marketing Consultant, my job is listen to my clients,  help identify their areas of need, and implement a plan for instruction and support.  

Today on the Podcast, I'm interviewing Patricia Sone, a National Needlepoint Teacher and Canvas Designer.  You will enjoy learning about her journey to learn how to market her business on Social Media, and the common challenges all of us face when learning a new skill.
