John Lusher's Summary
Hello, my name is John Lusher. I decided to put twenty years of sales & marketing experience into practice by starting my own business. We work with businesses to create and build social networks. These networks identify and solidify your online brand while integrating your existing marketing plan.
I am a speaker, trainer and user of social media platforms for my consulting firm as well as for my clients. Do you need a speaker for a trade-show, class or organization? If so let's chat.
Our firm has a strategic alliance with The Social Buzz Lab and Erika Design to provide HandZon Social Media Training, as well as Graphic Design and Brand Development/Management.
I am Co-President of Meetup 2.0; social media users, novices & professionals that meet to discuss how social media is used in our daily lives and businesses.
I serve as Secretary for Trust House in Roanoke. Trust House is a transitional homeless shelter in Roanoke that serves Veterans, families and individuals. http://TrustHouse.us - if you can help us help others, let us know!
Relationships and friendships are the keys to life.
Personally, I am a husband, son, and a brother that loves the beach, Jimmy Buffett and Frank Sinatra music along fine cigars. My dream is to wake up on the islands of the world and to see sunsets from every beach possible.
I welcome the opportunity to connect with you; my email is John@JohnLusher.com. Visit my website for more information on what our firm can do: http://JohnLusher.com
