You have heard before that there are 19 job seekers for every St. Louis job opening.   Rather than compete as an individual, candidates should think of themselves as a service-based business, marketing to their next employer. Public relations (PR) is using the news or business press to carry positive stories about your business, creating expertise and credibility.  Social media PR is a great do-it-yourself way of distributing news and information with no cost!

B2ME is “Business-to-Me” marketing. Marketing is the means of landing an interview; at the interview you can “sell” your services and find your next job. Join us this Tuesday, April 17, 2012 for “B2ME – Using a Social Media PR Strategy to Land Your Next Job” with Ann Marie and Ed Mayuga, and learn how to be your own publicist and internet marketer.

In this session, you will learn how to:

Sam Silverstein, Proactive Accountability

Wending his way along the road to success, Sam Silverstein witnessed successful people fail and underdogs triumph. His experiences enabled him to map out a winning strategy for himself that can work for everyone. Step one is to accept accountability for your choices, actions and results—and that means “No More Excuses.”

In this presentation, Sam explains the four phases of accountability, and the five critical, but often overlooked, ways to be proactively accountable. He will show us how to increase success and significance in business and in life. And will challenge you to take an honest look at yourself to discover what important road-blocks keep you from achieving your goals. Sam’s principles of accountability affect every aspect of business and personal performance.

Motivation / Inspiration: Accountability is the catalyst to achieve previously unattainable goals and experience unprecedented success.

Sales / Customer Service: Accountability is today’s competitive advantage to reclaim market share and win the heart of a hyper-discerning consumer.

Leadership / Teamwork: Accountability encourages top-down transparency, and builds trust in a fragile and turbulent workplace.

Application of Sam’s principles, developed over thirty years of leading thriving companies that sold upwards of $100 million in products and services, can have a positive impact on your personal and professional future. Join us on April 10 to gain valuable guidance from Sam Silverstein.
