Neal Schaffer created his social media strategy consultancy, Maximize Your Social (DBA for Windmills Marketing), to fill a gap that brands and companies have between their willingness to effectively implement social media throughout their organization and their ability to do so. Neal believed the answer to this problem is two-fold: 1) Many companies simply lacked the experience of working deeply with social media platforms and/or were not maximizing the full functionality they provided and 2) Companies lack a strategy and structure for which to govern the everyday activities of their social efforts and tie it in with the ROI for whatever strategic corporate objective they have. Neal, therefore, created a unique and completely proprietary social media strategy consulting program which, combined with his social media coaching and training, has helped dozens of companies better leverage and strategically utilize social media for a variety of objectives, including marketing, sales, business development, customer service, reputation management, and crisis management. The proprietary framework and process used to develop a social media strategy forms the basis of Neal’s book Maximize Your Social.
After conclusion of the social media strategy consulting program, clients have an option to pursue a retainer relationship with Maximize Your Social for social media coaching.
Maximize Your Social provides the following social media consulting services:
Social Media Strategy Consulting
Most clients begin working with Maximize Your Social with one-on-one social media strategy consulting to understand the unique needs of each customer. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for social media, and thus the objective of social media strategy consulting is to, in essence, understand how to map and integrate social media strategy with your own existing corporate objectives. Marketing and business development are common objectives for engaging with Maximize Your Social and creating a social media strategy, but past clients have included those who wanted to know how to better integrate Social Recruiting and Customer Service utilizing social media with their corporate strategy. The social media strategy consulting program includes on-site visits with your team, a social media audit of your current efforts as well as those of your competitors, and conclude with a deliverable document that provides an actionable blueprint for how to be self-sufficient in your social media implementation well into the future.
Social Media Coaching
The functionality of social media websites and the way we use them obviously changes over time. After Maximize Your Social creates a social media strategy for your business, it is important to maintain the strategy as well as fine-tune what is and isn’t working. Let Maximize Your Social help you stay on the cutting-edge of social media through periodic coaching. The coaching program is charged by the hour, and thus is suitable for smaller business who might not have the budget to afford a complete social media strategy consulting package yet still would like to get help from experts.
Social Media Training and Workshops
Proper execution of any strategy or coaching relies on how well trained your staff are in using social media. Let Maximize Your Social help in the training of your staff on how to best utilize the likes of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Plus, YouTube, and Blogging to reach your corporate objectives. Neal Schaffer, the President of Maximize Your Social, is also available for speaking engagements to help large groups within your company better understand and leverage social media in a larger workshop or even corporate speaker format.
