Thanks for visiting my Profile on LinkedIn. I cut my teeth in the business world being a managing partner of a staffing company for over 20 years; which gave me great experience from a small business perspective. I learned a lot about what it takes to make a small business grow and succeed, as well as the pitfalls it may experience along the way. That experience allowed myself the easy transition to become a part of the "Social Media" hype, and though I find many of my clients have a presence on a couple of Social Media platforms, they aren't using it to expand their business or their reach through online communities. I assist companies to grow by changing their business development methods and practices by integrating Sales/Marketing plans cultured with the understanding of what they need, and with a roadmap for success. I assist companies in creating and building online communities, increasing brand awareness with Internet audiences. I connect my clients with the people and services right for their business growth, and in this way I consider myself a solution provider. Whether I leverage Social Media to increase leads, or tailor training and coaching programs to empower Social Network platforms such as LinkedIn. The bottom line, I optimize businesses potential by developing and managing their Social Media campaigns, SEM, and SEO. I develop integrated sales programs that includes social networking into their daily routine. So my question for you is “When do you want to get started?”Specialties: Jack and the Forward Progress Team offers the following: • Building Social Communications• Architect Social Networks• Launching National Brands• Social Media Marketing• Social Network Sales training and coaching• Social Media Project Management• Campaign Development and Management• eMarketing• Online Marketing • Webinar Production• eMail Marketing• Referral Network Building• Increase Brand awareness• Blogging Syndication• LinkedIn Profile Build / Optimization• Website Design
