Linda Taylor’s Summary

The team at Taylor Marketing & Management (TM&M) works with small business owners to turn "what they know into dough". We are experts in compliant social media, online marketing, and cash flow strategies that create revenue for clients and JV partners.

I have spent over 40 years using proven engineering and marketing techniques to create cash flow for employers and clients. After 15 years as a project engineer and financial manager with Chevron USA, I spent 2 years first as the Chief Engineer and then 4 years as VP of Marketing for Tri-T Racing. While in auto racing, I managed sponsorships and cash flow for teams in NHRA, USAC, CART, and NASCAR.

When I retired from auto racing, I became one of the Principals at the College Funding Network (CFN). There I specialized in helping small business owners pay for college by creating and managing their cash flow.

While at CFN, I joined the Strategic Financial Alliance as an independent financial advisor to help implement financial plans for select clients. This allowed me to also become an expert in "compliant" marketing under rules and regulations issued by individual companies as well as the FTC, FINRA, SEC, HIPAA, etc.

To reach families beyond CFN, I "took what I knew" and became the author of the "Insider Secrets" series of books, audios and videos. The most popular in the series remains my "77 Secrets to Scholarship Success" available at: http://www.LindaPTaylor.com

Working with small business owners on their college planning made it clear that most lacked marketing and cash flow strategies. In response, I moved from active participation at CFN and created TM&M.

TM&M focuses on COMPLIANT marketing online including the use of social media. Unique expertise in nexus for taxation and the new FTC 16 CFR 255 advertising and marketing regulations.

Linda Taylor’s Specialties:

"Taking what YOU know and turning it into dough" using proven strategies and repeatable models.

TM&M puts revenue into small businesses through direct marketing, internet/online marketing, as well as through Social Media like LinkedIn, Facebook, blogs and Twitter. Experts in compliance-based marketing including the FTC's new 16 CFR 255.
