I’ve known Susan as both a PR Strategist and a Business Coach, and she excels at both roles. This gives her a unique ability to solve complex issues, and allay the stress of decision-making. Her uncanny ability to always ask the right questions and provide clear, simple answers, makes Susan a wonderful resource who can provide insight and creativity as it is needed. Beyond a typical advisor, Susan is more like an honest friend who really understand business.
Susan helped me develop a communications strategy for my personal training/running coaching business. Susan provided a simple, clear and effective strategy for me to use. I hit my target number of online clients in record time! I would definitely hire Susan again.
Hi! I’m Susan Elford, your PR Mentor.
After 28 years in the PR industry, serving leaders at the highest levels of organizations in industry, government and not-for-profit, I’ve decided to capture some of my “best kept secrets” to my own small business success that I’ve instinctively been implementing all these years. Sometimes you don’t even know the secrets behind your own success until you find people asking about it, over and over.
The biggest question my clients have been asking me over the 18 years I’ve been in business, is “how” I do it? How do I keep my small business consistently attracting and retaining the very best clients?
After many requests for this information, I dove in behind the scenes to explore what makes my business work with consistent client attraction and retention. I realized that I was instinctively using the big business PR strategies designed for my clients, to fuel the success of my small business. Other than investing in a bit of social media advertising and, of course, investing in a solid website design team, I have never paid for advertising in the 18 years I’ve been in business.
You too can attract consistent referrals and Activate! the Power of PR by using these solid PR strategies that deliver results — even with little to no marketing budget. These proven strategies can create your biggest results – no budget required! And I’m excited to show you how…
