Consulting and Coaching

Yes Grandma Mary and her alter ego, Andrea are teaming up to offer Social Media consulting and coaching.  Grandma Mary is fun, but Andrea is the real brains behind the Social Media strategy.  Andrea will help you get your business on the right track with Social Media.

Social Media Coaching and Consulting

• Are you struggling with getting started promoting your business using Social Media and don’t know where to start?
• Are you working on a particular aspect of Social Media and just stuck with how to optimize it and make sure you are taking full advantage of the opportunity?
• Or are you tired of trying to figure out Social Media on your own and just want someone to sit down and explain it to you in plain English?

I can help you work through your issues and come up with a Social Media plan that will best fit your business.  We will help you eliminate your frustrations and get back to your core business.

Let’s face it, your business needs to be taking advantage of all that Social Media has to offer, but you don’t want it to be taking all your time and energy.  Every business out there, local or web-based, is increasing their web footprint and you don’t want to be left behind.  Whether you need a half hour session just to answer some questions, or a more ongoing plan, I have options that will fit your needs.

4 Reasons Social Media Coaching Can Help Your Business

1. I can save you hours of time.  Yes, you can learn a lot of this on your own, but what is your time worth?  Just one hour of coaching can shorten your learning curve by 4-5 hours.
2. Do it right the first time.  I will help you get everything optimized so that customers can find you easier.
3. Learn the hidden rules.  I show you how to play by the hidden rules of Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook etc so that you are giving value and attracting new clients.
4. Develop a strategy.  I will outline what you need to do and when so that you can achieve your goals with Social Media.

How does it work?

To schedule your session, first purchase one of the packages above.  Once I receive your payment, we will schedule your session. Sessions 1 hour and above can be broken up into smaller sets.  We set up a time that works for your schedule – day and evening times are available.

Then I get some background information from the Pre-coaching form below so that I can understand where you currently are at with your Social Media campaign and where you want to go.  I will design a Social Media strategy that works for you and gets you to your target!

When we have our session, we can set up a remote conference so that I can see your screen and you can see mine.  That way you can show me what you need and I can help walk you through setups or show you different sites.

Testimonials

“I can’t say enough great things about Andrea! Because I already do a good deal of social media for our business I was cautiously optimistic that Andrea would be able to share enough tips and tricks to wow me. But WOW, she did!! I came away from our phone consultation with so many great ideas and have been telling everyone I know about her since then. She really has her finger on the pulse of the social media industry and worked past the “Social Media 101″ right into LinkedIn, expanding Facebook and Twitter and some other web sites that I had never heard of. I would VERY highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a charming expert full of useful information. And, being a very small business, useful information is just what we needed. Andrea is also very well-spoken and I feel that she would be a truly fantastic speaker. Andrea is a pro through and through – a real gem.” ~ Laura DeVries, Cupcakes-a-Go-Go

“Winning a social media brainstorming session with Andrea Vahl (a.k.a. Grandma Mary) was a surprising and fabulous way to wrap up the year! We covered the realm of social media marketing and ventured right into business strategizing. She helped me unclog my brain and make some major decisions about incorporating my 30-year offline profession into my current online business. No easy task! Andrea is the perfect combination of warm and witty and she’s got absolute clarity and expertise in helping online marketers wow their target audience.” ~ Melanie Kissell, Founder of Solo Mompreneur

I found the information on Grandma Mary (the Grandma Mary show) to be very useful, concise, and communicated in a fashion that a person of any technical skill level could understand and apply.  After gaining some great insight from her blog, I followed up with a request to have Grandma Mary consult me for an hour.  I was scheduled within a couple days and was thoroughly impressed with the how the meeting went.  Most importantly, from one hour with Grandma Mary I walked away with real world information on how to grow our business’s digital footprint and action items on how to put social media in motion to promote our brand, reach more users, and ultimately leverage the power of the social web.  Thanks Grandma Mary – I feel confident recommending your services to anyone who’s serious about utilizing the web in the direction it’s moving.

“Grandma Mary is the best thing to happen to Social Media since sliced bread. She is entertaining, yes. But, beyond the entertainment value, she knows what she is talking about. Listen to what she is saying, apply it to what you are doing, and you will have success in Social Media.”

You are the coolest, best lady ever!!! Thank you for all your help! I appreciate you a ton!! The tweetdeck has been a miracle!! You know, I feel that I am pretty darn good on a computer, but I am 33, so most, I have figured out by trial and error.  My point is that you have helped me out in many ways, and save me SO, many frustrating hours because you are so easy to understand, and you give the exact knowledge I am looking for!    —Andrea Lamont – blogger http://lifebloodcrew.blogspot.com/ and http://www.andreasoxfan.blogspot.com
