For a variety of reasons, after about 20 years of working for manufacturing companies around OKC, I have recently ventured out on my own with a consulting business. My specialty is Cost Accounting - product costing/pricing, profitability, manufacturing cost analysis, etc.
I've currently got a great gig that will last 2-3 more months full time and probably another 6 at 1/3 time or so. And likely have the next one lined up. The thing is, the current is because of a connection with an old boss who knows what I can do for him. The next is word or mouth from the CEO or the current place talking to another CEO. That is great, but I can't rely on this type of connection or referral alone.
Lets be honest...I flat out suck at marketing and selling!! And I need to sell myself and my services. And the biggest hurdle is that most business don't even realize they NEED my help. And ideally I could build the business enough to have local clientele keeping me busy and at home, but currently am traveling. In Iowa now, and the next stop will probably be the garden spot of Odessa.
So I'm looking for some small business marketing help. To start, specifically help setting up a great LinkedIn page for my business. And then perhaps some directed social media marketing or something along those lines.
Just putting out some feelers here to see if anyone does this type of work, knows a good resource, etc...
Appreciate any advice or referrals.
