“Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.”
MISSION AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
Denise is passionate about helping small business owners and freelancers market their products and services in an efficient and cost-effective manner. As a small business owner herself, Denise recognizes the financial and time constraints new business owners and freelancers face. Her desire to offer and coach this niche market stems from years of witnessing clients pay for marketing related-services that were either never delivered, or tendered in a substandard manner. There are effective tools and methodologies widely available that enable entrepreneurs to build their personal and professional brands on a shoestring budget, and many of these resources operate at a zero-cost level, Denise is committed to working with each client's individual needs to help them define and best reach their target audience.
PROCESS
As a result of establishing clients across the U.S. and after years of surveying their business needs, Denise opted to simplify the process for current and prospective clients by offering a 60 minute in person, phone, or video chat that consists of the following:
outlining and defining client goals
completing full audit of existing client marketing and social media marketing collateral (if applicable)
tendering recommendations for improvement or startup of a comprehensive social marketing strategy
engaging in a simultaneous walk-through of specific tools that will help the client meet his or her business goals
Prior to the client interaction session, Denise will gather any necessary information (i.e. website URL, social media handles) that will form the basis for the scheduled consultation appointment.
