Integrated Social Media Workshops - Apr 17/18/20 - St. Louis

For those people going to the Social Fresh conference in St. Louis please note that these workshops are before and after the conference as I will be attending it.  Thus the reason there are no workshops on the 19th.  I would highly recommend that you join in on the conference as well, you can find info on that here.

I will likely have time to add at least one  more workshop, so if you’re interested please look at the info below and contact me on twitter @techguerilla  .

Details: The existing workshops I am giving during that period are centered around integrating social media into your marketing/branding/customer service efforts.  The clients are on the larger side, so I’d really love to get either a small to medium business or a startup to fill the other spot.  Please note that these are not pre-defined or scripted, they are 1 on 1 workshops managed to your specific situation.  Generally a workshop will last around 3 hours, is a casual atmosphere but intense, and you steer  the direction in which it goes organically.  If you want to use that time deep-diving a particular objective you already have in mind that is perfectly fine, as is coming in with a metaphorical blank sheet of paper that we then fill in.  You can also choose to cover a past workshop topic if you’d prefer (see below for samples).  I’m being purposefully wishy-washy here as it’s important to understand that part of the benefit of my workshops is that I work with you upfront to design a workshop that will meet your specific needs, so no two workshops are the same.

Past workshop topics: Developing an Innovation culture (all), To outsource or not to outsource? (all), Personal branding (SMB and individual), How to value an idea? (startup), How to pitch to a VC (startup), Integrating social media into your business (all), Idea Generation-A fresh perspective (all), Here is my business-make it better (SMB), SCRM, How to build a virtual company on a shoestring (SMB), Software selection (was EMR focused, but can apply anywhere), Social Media-Stage 1 (all), Social Media-Stage 2 (all), Social Media-Stage 3 (all), Social Media Metrics/Analysis/ROI (all, marketing oriented), Managed Services 101 (SMB)

If you’d like more information about the structure, methodology, pricing, etc. just let me know. 

You can find out more about me and my background here.

p.s. – I’ve had a few requests to be creative on the pricing (joining someone else in similar situation, or bringing multiple people from same company, and splitting the price for example).  I’m relatively flexible up to a point, but where additional people are involved we have to be careful that it doesn’t undermine the effectiveness of the workshop.  Also, if you’re willing to be part of a case study we can discount the cost.  And lastly, if you come away from one of my workshops feeling like you wasted your time, or that it wasn’t 100% worth it, then simply tell me, and I’ll give your money back no questions asked. Period.  In 15 yrs of doing this that has never happened, hopefully that should give you some comfort as to the perceived value of my workshops.

p.p.s. - I have never actually opened up a workshop to the general public before, as they are generally private workshops where I've been brought in by a specific company.  Should be fun I think.
