Martha Giffen is the CEO of Best Kind Marketing. She is a Social Media strategist, Business success coach, and author of the Amazon best-seller “Be Social Be Rich.” A former stay-at-home Mom, Martha watched her husband build a lucrative business from the ground up, which fueled the flame in her own heart to become an entrepreneur. With a desire to work from home and be her own “boss,” she jumped right in and never looked back! The rest, as they say, is history!

She has built a highly profitable online business using social networking to connect with “one person at a time.” She has co-authored several best-selling books, produced social media training programs, created motivational audios, and is an engaging and entertaining speaker.

The New Rules of Marketing Can Kill Your
Business If You Don’t Know Them

97% of all consumers use online media to research products or services. That includes videos, search engines, social media, and mobile web technologies. If you think that this is something that only “young people” use, you are wrong! Most of the buying public now uses them to make purchasing decisions.

The marketing paradigm has shifted from one-way “push” messaging to social media, which is a multi-point conversation. These conversations are happening online… whether you participate or not. If you haven’t adapted your strategy, you will be left behind.

Whether you need to build a list, or grow a loyal fan base-there’s a Jeanius solution for you. My guest and I will discuss custom marketing plans to take advantage of cutting-edge social media, lead capture, and automated response systems.

Social Media Marketing Plan

Jean Scally is a best-selling author, internationally recognized marketing strategist, exciting trainer, and dynamic speaker. Jean has been working with technology and business for more than 20 years.
