George Kao, Social Media Coach’s Summary

I train consultants, coaches, and socially-minded entrepreneurs in online marketing, based in integrity and authenticity.

Your results: continuous stream of new qualified leads, increased ability to acquire ideal clients and strategic partners, and more clients who become fans and evangelize your products/services naturally.

I train on *efficiency* in marketing so that you can maintain better work-life balance.

In 15 minutes a day, how do you leverage online social media sites (Facebook: 300+ million users, LinkedIn: 50+ million, Twitter: 20+ million) to enhance your brand, generate new leads, and delight your clients?

Some of my best tips are shared on a free webinar that has received these reviews:

"I've been on a *lot* of calls about social media, and this was probably the very best one. And I am not a newbie in this arena--have been using social media marketing very effectively since 1995."
-- a specialist on Green/Ethical Marketing

"There is a generosity and kindness in your training style that makes it quite palatable to a non-business type like me.
Thank you."
-- a holistic health practitioner
