Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan
This is a 12 Week Webinar for Business Owners who are great at what they do, but feel overwhelmed when it comes to Social Media Marketing
If you're like most business owners you're frustrated by social media technology and having to fit it into your already busy schedule. Additionally having to learn how to market yourself on social media can be intimidating because it also involves learning the correct social media etiquette as well as the tools.
You feel discouraged because you know social media is becoming more important for marketing a business but don't how to use the technology or you do know how to use it, but wonder why no one ever responds to your posts.
Why isn't social media getting clients in your doors?
The three magic reason you might be stuck!
Notice if any of these fit you.
1. You feel intimidated by the technology and don't know where to start.
You're getting lots of invites to social networking sites and you don't know what to do with them or what sites to be on. You've also been told you need to integrate blogs, radio, and other social media into how you promote yourself, but you feel scattered and unsure of where to start.
2. Your social media marketing plan is lame, or you don't have one.
You are on some social media sites, but nothing you do seems to work and you don't have a clear goal in how to integrate social media into your marketing. It can feel like throwing a dart and hoping that you hit the bullseye, but you're spending a lot of time and money on your marketing and not getting the clients you want from it. Poor planning equals poor results.
3. Your doubt about social media's effectiveness for your business sabotages you.
You've become convinced that social media doesn't work for promoting your business and you feel it's a waste of time, but you also wonder why your fellow business owners or colleagues are getting business from using social media sites. Your attitude is holding you back from capitalizing on social media.
Can you relate to any of the above? I could and still do sometimes.
You might have a wonderful product or be an excellent service provider, but if you don't understand social media, you could be missing out on lots of people who could use what you have to offer. The first step is to admit this so that you can fix it, learn new skills, and move on.
What can you do to get unstuck with social media and move forward?
1. Get clear on what social media technology you need and learn it.
Begin to make the mental shift away from an overwhelmed, over-worked self-employed person to a business owner who recognizes what resources s/he needs from social media, and then learn how to automate those resources, so your only spending as much as time as needed on social media.
2. Accept that you either don't have a marketing plan for your social media presence, or that the existing one is lame.
You can easily learn the eight simple steps to setting up a social media marketing plan that works. You were able to master the skills of your profession or trade, so you can master the technology and marketing for social media.
3. Let go of being negative about social media.
Social media is here to stay. Become empowered and unstoppable in your use of it. Decide to do whatever it takes to learn and integrate it into your business. A change in attitude can provide the right push toward bringing you success with social media.
How does the Eight Steps to a successful Social Media Marketing Plan webinar work?
We meet twelve times over four months and will go through the 8 steps to a success social media marketing plan. You'll work on setting up your social media presence and gradually develop a successful social media marketing plan.
You'll be part of a powerful group of entrepreneurs who own businesses, just like you, who want to get unstuck with social media. You'll learn the technology AND the marketing together.
The sessions will be a very focused combination of teaching, sharing, feedback, and support.
At the end, everyone will have a completed social media marketing plan and presence to take into 2010!
Begins October 30th and ends January 22nd (no class December 25th and January 1st) We meet Fridays 11:30-1 PST on the phone and website. Every class will be recorded, but you can call in from anywhere and access the website from any place with an internet connection.
This seminar includes:
* Training on the technology for the social media sites. You'll learn how to optimize and automate your social media presence.
* The Social Media Marketing Plan handbook.
* One individual 30 minute coaching call with me.
* 12 group sessions over four months.
* Seminar Discussion Blog where you can share information and ask question with each other.
* Feedback from other professional, motivated business owners.
You know you need help with your social media marketing presence, and you are also smart enough to know that all successful people get help!
With a social media marketing plan developed through my seminar you will get:
* A powerful social media marketing plan that puts you in touch with the audience you want to reach.
* An understanding of how social media marketing works.
* Training on the technology, with a focus on automating it, so that it works for you, without you having to work on it all the time.

OTBC: How to Value Price your Product or Service

nil |

You've defined, sized and segmented your market. You've validated the market to verify that your product or service does serve an unfilled need in the market, and customers are willing to buy it.
But how much will they pay? Many companies, large and small, set prices by making an "educated guess" based on gut feel and experience. But there's a better way to price: price your product according to the value your customers perceive.
How do you value price? At this seminar, OTBC executive director Steve Morris will explain how you can use analytical techniques to gain a much better understanding of how customers value your product or service, and how much they are willing to pay.
Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business. |

OTBC: How to Validate your Market
Roll back
| description |
nil |

Your product or service makes sense to you - but will it be compelling to your target customers? Entrepreneurs and small business owners often go with their gut feel - but that can be misleading. Not all of your target customers think the way you do!
How do you make sure that the demand is there, before you spend a lot of time and money developing and deploying a product or service? Validating the market first decreases your risk, and gives you a much better understanding of how to approach your market with the most effective messaging and marketing.
OTBC executive director Steve Morris will take you step by step through the process of validating your market, so you can be more confident that you are addressing an unmet need, and that customers will actually be willing to pay.
Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business. |

| description |
nil |

If you're either starting a company or revisiting your business strategy, defining your market and figuring out how big it is are important first steps. A clear market definition focuses your effort. Sizing the market tells you how big your opportunity is, which is important preparation for building a budget and a forecast -- and it tells you something about what sources of financing might be possible. Understanding your market's segments is the first step in deciding which segment makes the most sense to target.
Defining, sizing, and segmenting your market is the first step in putting together a company strategy and a business plan. At this seminar, OTBC executive director Steve Morris will walk you through the process.
Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business. |

OTBC: How to Write a Business Plan
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Yes, you've seen outlines for a business plan. But how do you actually sit down and write one? The answer is: you don't. Not as the first step, at least. First, you have a fair amount of homework to do.
Homework such as defining your target market; sizing and segmenting that market; developing a competitive strategy; validating that your service or product fills an unmet need; value pricing your product. And the list goes on.
In this seminar, OTBC Executive Director Steve Morris will review the different objectives you might have for writing a business plan, and the homework you need to do before you write the plan - and then will review what goes into the plan. You'll leave with a detailed action plan for preparing to write a business plan -- and with an outline of what should be in the plan. The good news: once you've done your homework, writing a business plan isn't that difficult!
Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business. |

CTO & Engineering Executive Forum: Reinvention and the Role of the Engineering Executive
Roll back
| description |

→ |
How are you and your company going to come out of this recession? What has changed during the past two years? Where are things headed for your business? Companies are reinventing themselves in a variety of ways - through diversification of products and markets; by shifting more manufacturing and sourcing to Asia; by hiring or contracting for staff whose skills werenât even mentioned in job descriptions at the turn of the century (10 years ago!) With all of this change, whatâs happening to the engineering jobs in Portland, and how does the role of the Engineering Executive need to change and adapt?
This dinner forum is available to CTO and Engineering Executives from member and nonmember companies.
Thank you Marger Johnson & McCollom PC for sponsoring this event. |

An Integrated Development Tools Stack: Soup-to-Nuts Implementation in Practice
Roll back
| description |
Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Developers Forum
In today's software development projects there are more tools and technology choices than ever before but few are seamlessly integrated. Although significant advances have occurred in the last 20 years, it remains a challenge to build an efficient, cost effective and integrated development tools stack that enables rapid development, testing, and release. Efficient use of a full spectrum of tools is crucial to any company for productive high quality development. The newest tools can make significant productivity gains possible when used effectively.
Panel members will demonstrate working tools they've integrated in their development environments, and offer practical advice for adoption, benefits, challenges and usage.
Code Health: Alex Kriegel, an Enterprise Architect for the State of Oregon, Alex has recently helped to introduce a software factory approach to software development at Public Health Division of the Oregon State Department of Human Services. This led to investigation of a wide variety of efficiency-inducing tools. He will provide a quick demonstration of code health tools including static code analysis (PMD, CheckStyle, FxCop), code coverage (NCover, EMMA) and an integrated code review process.
Continuous Integration: Tom Waterhouse, a software architect at Sabrix Inc, the leading provider of transaction tax management, has been at Sabrix for over 8 years overseeing the technological growth of the company. Tom will demonstrate a continuous integration scenario where a checkin to subversion triggers a build in Bamboo via Maven which triggers a success or failure email upon build completion, and checkins are reconciled against stories in JIRA.
Developer Integration Testing: Andrew Wright, a Principal Engineer at Blackbox Republic, has been building software for companies such as Jive and Iovation for over a decade. Heâll demonstrate a repeatable dataset generation system for databases as well as other data stores such as lucene, enabling developer oriented integration testing to occur in development. This solution utilizes maven, hibernate, and groovy.
Even if you donât use any of the tools listed, there are best practices to be had that you could apply to your tools stack. Come loaded with questions for these panel members to get ideas for optimizing your development tools stack.

SAOpdx: I Wish Iâd Thought of That: Creative Approaches to Closing Deals
Roll back

Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Marketing + Sales Forum
All the best new ideas have one thing in common: they make you ask, "Why didn't I think of that?" And when you finally get wise, you can only slap yourself on the forehead and promise to steal the idea the next time you can.
The Software Association of Oregon's Marketing and Sales Forum (MSF) brings together seven of Portland's top deal makers to each share one creative closing technique. You'll leave the event with a new angle on how to close that stalled deal.
Do you have a closing trick of your own? The panelists will also field ideas from the audience, give feedback, and award prizes for the most innovative ideas.
The Marketing and Sales Forum consistently gathers local thought leaders to share success stories and strategies that help bolster the entire community. Don't miss this opportunity to learn something new and hobnob with Portland's most creative marketing and sales professionals.
Join us after the program (7:00-8:00) for extended networking and a meet + greet with the presenters. |

An Integrated Development Tools Stack: Soup-to-Nuts Implementation in Practice
Roll back

Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Developers Forum
In today's software development projects there are more tools and technology choices than ever before but few are seamlessly integrated. Although significant advances have occurred in the last 20 years, it remains a challenge to build an efficient, cost effective and integrated development tools stack that enables rapid development, testing, and release. Efficient use of a full spectrum of tools is crucial to any company for productive high quality development. The newest tools can make significant productivity gains possible when used effectively.
Panel members will demonstrate working tools they've integrated in their development environments, and offer practical advice for adoption, benefits, challenges and usage.
Code Health: Alex Kriegel, an Enterprise Architect for the State of Oregon, Alex has recently helped to introduce a software factory approach to software development at Public Health Division of the Oregon State Department of Human Services. This led to investigation of a wide variety of efficiency-inducing tools. He will provide a quick demonstration of code health tools including static code analysis (PMD, CheckStyle, FxCop), code coverage (NCover, EMMA) and an integrated code review process.
Continuous Integration: Tom Waterhouse, a software architect at Sabrix Inc, the leading provider of transaction tax management, has been at Sabrix for over 8 years overseeing the technological growth of the company. Tom will demonstrate a continuous integration scenario where a checkin to subversion triggers a build in Bamboo via Maven which triggers a success or failure email upon build completion, and checkins are reconciled against stories in JIRA.
Developer Integration Testing: Andrew Wright, a Principal Engineer at Blackbox Republic, has been building software for companies such as Jive and Iovation for over a decade. Heâll demonstrate a repeatable dataset generation system for databases as well as other data stores such as lucene, enabling developer oriented integration testing to occur in development. This solution utilizes maven, hibernate, and groovy.
Even if you donât use any of the tools listed, there are best practices to be had that you could apply to your tools stack. Come loaded with questions for these panel members to get ideas for optimizing your development tools stack.
Series Sponsors: Cascade Technical Services, EthicsPoint, OpenMake Software |
