  Internet and Social Media Sales Intergration

  Working with motorcycle dealers to integrate their social media to their websites. Teaching how to shoot photos and videos to generate maximum interest and drive customers to sales site and into brick and mortar location. Hardest job ever because of the entrenched ideas of the automotive sales environment. Most don't understand the right way to use their social media because they still sale as if it were the 1950's which is the era when the style of sales most of them use was developed. I bet at this point I could teach a class on trying to deal with entrenched old school ideas and how many aspirin it will take you to get through the days headaches haha. Show less

  Evans Marketing

  Oct 2015 - now

  I have decided to start helping the small businessman with their marketing and advertising. It's time to work with those who need the help the most and don't have layers of people to go through to make decisions. I'll still do my freelance work for those who know and appreciate my work, but now I do that when I want to and it sounds fun, not to try and feed myself. I have about given up on trying to help Motorcycle Dealers to understand why their Internet sales ideas fail again and again. The problem with them being, they are stuck in a '50's mentality of how sales works, every sales manager and owner learns from the last and teaches the next, so it has been since the '50's. I have tried to time and again to try and get across to them that they have maybe 10 but probably less years before their sales techniques stop working all together. Welcome to the new millennium...So its time to help small businesses to realize that even though they are small it doesn't mean that they don't deserve the effort and dedication that a large company would get from a Marketing Company. So Evans Marketing was born. Show less
