As a consultant, J.R. works with business leaders to understand the shift in selling that is occurring as more consumers and business turn to the internet for information before engaging in the sales process. How has selling changed? How do the metrics for sales need to change? Using inbound and outbound marketing, J.R. can help you implement plans to increase results in this new sales environment.
Speaking about social media is a passion of J.R’s. He has been called a Social Media Evangelist because when he speaks, it is like he is on a mission to help business leaders learn and use social media. Please check out the resource section of this website for written, audio and video samples.
