Facebook Business Breakthroughs

Small Business Owners, Sales Representatives and Marketing Professionals:
Discover How to Use Facebook to Attract Customers and Create New Opportunities

Social media is hot.

Everyone is talking about it, and many business owners are taking advantage of its popularity to reach new audiences and gain customers.

With over 400 million users, Facebook is the powerhouse of the social networking world. The average user spends 55 minutes a day, every day, on the popular social networking site. Which means you can use Facebook to get your message in front of a captive audience.

However, you may have already used Facebook for business but haven’t seen great results. Perhaps you’ve struggled with any of these 5 common roadblocks to Facebook success:

  1. Lack of Time. You’re busy running your business and are unsure if social networking is worth your time. You’re worried you’ll have to spend hours on Facebook to make it work for you.
  2. Lack of Clarity. You don’t know how to find and engage your target audience, beyond your immediate friends, on Facebook.
  3. Lack of Technical Know-How. Although you understand the importance of social media, you feel overwhelmed by all the options and need someone to help you get started.
  4. Lack of Effective Strategies. You don’t know how to harness the opportunity within Facebook and communicate with your network in a way that engages them, builds credibility and establishes you as a trusted expert.
  5. Lack of Confidence. You’re skeptical that Facebook can help you grow your business.

If any of these 5 roadblocks have been stopping you, this special seminar is for you:

    “I researched other Facebook training options but couldn’t find any that offered the high-quality instruction and level of detail Jaime provides.”


    start-quote

    As a professional writer, I need to ensure my understanding of all types of social media, including Facebook, is fully informed and up-to-date so I can provide effective writing services for my clients. I researched other Facebook training options but couldn’t find any that offered the high-quality instruction and level of detail Jaime provides.

    Facebook Business Breakthroughs was packed with practical information and I came away with a much deeper understanding of how I can use emerging technologies to help generate the positive attention that leads to greater revenue. Any business owner – or association executive – who is feeling that the social media train is leaving them behind at the station can benefit from Jaime’s seminar on Facebook’s marketing capabilities. Jaime is highly professional and communicates her material beautifully.end-quote-3

    "I felt empowered by the end of the workshop …"

    start-quote

    I heard about Jaime when I found myself in one of the worst social networking situations – my Facebook account had been disabled, and I had no idea what I did wrong. I tried reading Facebook’s rules and regulations, but the information was too dense to sift through. I also contacted Facebook but didn’t get any answers.

    Tad Hargrave recommended I contact Jaime, so I sent her an emergency email explaining my situation. Jaime responded immediately gave me some links for appealing the decision. She even wrote a blog post that described what to do if Facebook disables your account. I followed Jaime’s advice, and Facebook reactivated my account.

    Based on this positive experience with Jaime, I decided to register for her Facebook Business Breakthroughs seminar. Jaime made it easy for me to understand Facebook’s many tools. She is skilled at clearly explaining technical concepts – so it’s accessible for people who are new to social media.

    I felt empowered by the end of the workshop and was no longer worried I would lose my account. The next day, I created a Facebook page in just a few hours. Within two days, my fan base grew from 30 to 130.

    Anyone who uses Facebook should invest three hours to learn about its features. This seminar is ideal for both entrepreneurs and people who run social media campaigns for large corporations. Jaime offered a wealth of information and makes it easy to understand Facebook’s privacy features and regulations.end-quote-3

    ".. the content is more in-depth and practical than what is offered in similar seminars."

    start-quote

    My organization was about to launch a fundraising campaign and wanted to use Facebook to capture fans and increase awareness. I attended Facebook Business Breakthroughs because the content was more in-depth and practical than what is offered in similar seminars.

    Jaime helped me see what social networking mistakes I should avoid. She also provided me with a list of free tools I can use to customize my page. Other fundraising professionals would benefit from attending this seminar, because they will receive information that’s not accessible elsewhere.end-quote-3

    "Jaime helped me understand how I could customize my Facebook page
    to make it more useful for my fans."

    start-quote

    I had a business page on Facebook and wanted to use it more effectively and efficiently. Just as I made the decision to focus on using Facebook as my main social media tool, Jaime’s Facebook Business Breakthroughs workshop was recommended to me. Because Jaime had been highly recommended in the past, I jumped on the opportunity to learn from her in-person.

    Jaime helped me understand how I could customize my Facebook page to make it more useful for my fans. As a result, I learned many new techniques that would have taken me too long to learn on my own.

    I’d recommend Facebook Business Breakthroughs to entrepreneurs and others interested in utilizing social media more effectively. The seminar is clear and full of high-quality content. Jaime helps you eliminate trial and error with your social networking by giving you all the information and tools you need in one place.end-quote-3
