George Kao - Social Media Coach’s Summary

I help consultants, coaches, and socially-minded entrepreneurs market themselves with integrity & heart.

Your results: continuous stream of new qualified leads, acquire ideal clients (or strategic partners) with more ease, and turn clients into fans who naturally evangelize your services.

I train on *efficiency* in marketing so that you can maintain (or create) work-life harmony.

In even 15 minutes a day, how do you leverage online social networking sites (Facebook: 200+ million users, LinkedIn: 42+ million, Twitter: 22+ million) to enhance your brand, generate new leads, and delight current customers?

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

=== Testimonials ===

"I have attended a number of these courses recently and this was the best by far."
-- a Business Process Design consultant

"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

"There aren't many well-organized, concise, coherent presentations about using social media in the way that you've organized it. Everyone I turned onto your presentation found it very useful."
-- an MBA professor and marketing consultant
