To tweet or not to tweet…that is todays question from Pamela Taylor-Medeiros of www.chairishtheoccasion.com
Hi Kim,
I love getting your emails!! I would like to know what you think of my website and obviously some tips. My question is Is it really helpful for a company like mine to use Twitter and Facebook? I have no idea what I would write about. My service “chair cover rentals” is not a big repeat business. We would like to get into more party decorating but I still don’t know why someone would care if we are on Twitter or not and I don’t really know what to tweet about.lol
Waiting for your advice
Pam

Glen Beckel sent me a message today on Facebook with a great question that I wanted to share with you and get your perspective on…
Hello Kim…first I want to let you know I very much like your posts here on FB. I have a question tho. My business http://www.fxmassagetherapy.com caters mostly to women, 70-80%. All my marketing specialists are male, web designer, video director and myself. Do you have specific recommendations geared towards marketing towards women? I’m also launching a second site to host other therapists so they don’t have to build a site of their own and we get the power of the network. Again most therapists are female, 70%.
Best regards,
Glen Beckel

Pamela Goyette writes in with a question about trade shows and attracting potential clients:
Good Day Bossy Diva
Must say I am a HUGE fan of your weekly emails.
I actually just started over a month ago a new business venture. So far with much success. I basically am helping women from the bedroom to the bank literally. I do in home parties for many occasions which fits right in with my party planning passion I have.
I have had a couple of my own parties at my home. but was wondering what the best method would be to attract my potential clients and consultants? I want to grow my business not maintain it.
I have heard people doing the trade shows. Are they effective? I have heard yes and no.Or networking myself in the community and handing out my business cards everywhere I go.
I am just trying to reach my level 2. I need to get outside my comfort zone in order to achieve this level I am aware of that and have little fear about it, but I am worried about wasting my time and money on things that don’t work.
Please any advice on what you think may be the most successful route for me to take on this one would be so appreciated.
Your Party Gal

This week’s question comes all the way from Nova Scotia, Canada…
Kim
I started a web site www.nutritionaldiva.com and a blog www.nutritionaldiva.com/blog and e-zine which can sign up on home page.
I have several e-products and consulting packages available.
Natural Nutrition and Health is my scope of practice.
I need to know how to draw people to my site on the internet and how to market my e-products to being sales.
I am somewhat panicked here.
I have just recently finished an e-product called “8 Aspects to a Healthy Life” to promote to Health practitioners.
HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY CAPTURE AND SELL TO PEOPLE?

Our latest questions comes from Samantha Moore:
Hi Kim,
(Love your blog!)
I am a personal trainer and recently have left my old company to start my own PT business. I am having difficulty getting new clients and even converting them over the phone to come down for a free session.
I used to be the most sought after trainer and now it feels like no one wants to train with me 
I know my prices are more than generous, my competition is less value and more effort to get to, and that have more than enough knowledge and skill to change my clients lives!
Help me!!
Thank you so much for your time

This weeks question comes from Pauline of Century 21 Conexus Realty Ltd
How do you explain to potential clients and customers that you are different/better than others in your field?
Too many times I have seen this happen where a customer chooses a ‘not so great’ person in my field and assumes that we are all alike. We’re not all alike and it irks me to be put in the same category as others sometimes.
What can I do to get this message across to potential clients without sounding like I’m full of hot air?
Thx.
