WHY THE BUZZ BUILDER?

I love helping people to get over their personal hurdles. Marketing for many business owners is a huge hurdle, but it doesn’t have to be.

dsc_0113-use_small My story: I got my start in marketing with General Instrument in San Diego. (If you’re not familiar with General Instrument, that’s because it was purchased by Motorola.) But, at the time, the engineers had just developed a new product that we needed to market. But it was a revolutionary new product that people didn’t know that they wanted. It was our job to change that.

What was the product? Oh yeah, are you ready for it?

…the cable modem and we called it: Surfboard.

Yep, it was (ahem) a few years ago.

I was involved in online discussion forums, our company intranet, online message boards and some new sites that were making it easy to make your own website online (does anyone remember Geocities?). Quite a few years later, I made the transition from marketing to sales (I know, weird, huh!) and got heavily involved in LinkedIn and every other social media site that reared its head.

Fortunately with my marketing background, I tested everything that I did. I also made a lot of mistakes along the way. (Did I mention, a lot of mistakes? Good thing I’m a fast learner!)

dsc_0073-use-small I started speaking around the country, creating videos, writing articles, producing and hosting a radio program and created an international following. I got enough attention that people asked how to do the same for themselves.

Ah.
