• Online Marketing is MORE Than Social Media

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Linkedin. Oh my!

In this presentation, Lisa shares specific strategies any direct seller can use to grow their online audience with social media and convert that audience into customers with other online marketing methods.

Time and again, one of the biggest obstacles to success for business women is a failure to see the value of who they are and what they have to offer. In this presentation, Lisa shares that “You are the most important product your company has to offer” and how to know, without a doubt the real value of who you are and what you bring to the table as a business owner.

• Raising Your Threshold of Belief

Business owners often struggle with raising the bar in their business, not because they don’t want to succeed, but because they don’t believe it’s possible.

Lisa’s simple strategies motivate participants to get out of “analysis paralysis” mode and take effective action in their businesses and lives.

• Be An Action Hero In Your Business

Unlike super heroes, action heroes get a little banged up from time to time. Just like in real life. Does that stop them from saving the day? No!
