Brent Jordan's Experience

Trainer – Sales / Automotive / Online Business Development | Proformance Racing School | Racing Coac

DriveMark, Inc {Racing Coach / Instructor}

Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Sports industry

2009 – Present (3 years)

My primary focus is working with companies who prefer to take direct action in their online marketing efforts by combining “old school” business networking with “new school” online resources which can include social media, social marketing, blogging, video production, press releases, article submission, search and direct email.

As part of my ongoing commitment to social networking, I put people together with potential business partners. I teach them how to strategically use the power of online networks to enhance their business and career success. Part of that is to work with recruiters and job seekers alike to help align their use of online technology in their search for the perfect candidate or perfect job. This can also include business social networking/training using live events and social media to foster important business relationships.

I offer private coaching (1-on-1, small groups, and entire companies) across North America and Brazil. I am a Social Media Coach for sales, marketing, customer service, job search and recruiting. I work closely with B2B sales organizations to integrate social media into creative sale and marketing strategies, building their online reputation.
