Shelley,

Do you or your team offer marketing services to the public?

Yes

• Is it your full-time job, or a sideline to your "other" job?

Full-time.

• What's your favorite work or expertise that you can provide?

Pepper Blue Marketing strategizes, implements, measures, and improves Internet and email marketing programs for business of all sizes.

• Where are you based?

Phoenix, Arizona, USA

• How wide is the region you can/will support?

Global. I currently have customers from coast-to-coast in the USA. For what we do, it is not necessary to have face-to-face meetings. Communicating via phone and email is all that is needed for a succesful project and happy client.

Thanks for the consideration Shelley.

Shelley,

You're the greatest!

• Do you or your team offer marketing services to the public?

Yes

• Is it your full-time job, or a sideline to your "other" job?

A speciality sideline to "other" job.

• What's your favorite work or expertise that you can provide?

Helping a client whose having trouble retaining customers by showing them how to be Customer Servants & Customer Passion Evangelist. When a client is having customer related problems I call this (At-Risk Customers). I have also played the role of a facilitator for b2b clients who are having customer communication problems and problems in the area of meeting the customers needs. Re-establishing trust and re-inforcing a stronger bond in some instances of cross-cultural conflicts have been some other areas I have helped my clients (Newspaper articles, customer letters and endorsements available).

• Where are you based?

That great city on the Monopoly Board game called Saint Charles, Illinois

• How wide is the region you can/will support?

World wide because a great deal of my clients issues have been handled through consultations over the phone and via email. I will see clients in person but at a much higher cost including the coverage of all expenses. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Your Servant, Deremiah, *CPE (Customer Passion Evangelist)

1) yes, but not so much as a consultant, instead more as a contracted team member for the company.

2) full-time

3) three areas, all focusing on B2B:
- startup marketing/business development (American startups)
- those companies trying to gain access to the US from abroad (specialty is companies in Asia trying to break into US)
- those American companies trying to expand abroad (specialty of expanding into Asia)

4) SF Bay area, California (USA)

5) can support global, but aimed at the specific areas listed in #3

Shelley...

Great idea! I find KHE a lively community to belong to, and one that I feel much more "part of" than, for example, the networking sites like Ryze or Ecademy.

So, while I wouldn't want KHE to become an "in-your-face" netwoking site, I do feel there is an opportunity for those of us that do consider ourselves "for hire" as you describe it, to help each other through KHE.

In which case, here's my response to your questions:

• Do you or your team offer marketing services to the public?
Yes

• Is it your full-time job, or a sideline to your "other" job?
Full-time - my sideline is my "other" work as a tutor and examiner on professional marketing courses for the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

• What's your favorite work or expertise that you can provide?
I work with clients (mainly large companies) to develop and deliver marketing training programmes for their staff teams.
The exact content of these progammes depends on the needs of the client

• Where are you based?
Peterborough, UK

• How wide is the region you can/will support?
Because of the face-to-face nature of my work, I restrict myself to delivering progammes in the UK.

Look forward to hearing of the progress of this project.

Good luck,
Bob

Howdy Shelley. Thanks for your interest.

• Do you or your team offer marketing services to the public?

yes

• Is it your full-time job, or a sideline to your "other" job?

for now it's a sideline, but it's slowly becoming full-time

• What's your favorite work or expertise that you can provide?

I love ATL and BTL, and copywriting specifically. It makes me very happy. I've done it all--from strategy to financial analysis--but "finding the hook" is the most fun.

• Where are you based?

Italy

• How wide is the region you can/will support?

A little region called the Marche, where 90% of people don't even know what marketing is or does. I'm a one-woman show, so I'm not going global just yet.

Yes, provide marketing services

Yes, full time

Personally provide business to business telemarketing services (most agencies use entry level folk to make the calls)

Favorite work is "Prospect centered marketing"

Based in the Washington, DC area

Can make calls all over the US, would love to make calls to the UK.
