Marketing is largely storytelling. Every business and brand has a story. How do you share it without spending half your working hours putting together marketing plans and working on content creation?

Every business and business owner has a rich and complex history, passion for why they do what they do, and a drive to share what they offer with the world.

Short of hiring a professional, what are some simple ways you can share yourself, your story, the story of your brand, and what you offer?

Do you ask an AI to write something about you? How do you know the AI is going to know your story well enough to pick the pieces you should actually be sharing?

And once you know that, there are so many platforms out there. How do you know which platforms to use and where to spend your time and energy when it comes to making posts?

This webinar will go over

• How to figure out what the story is that you want to share
• Simple questions to ask and answer when it comes to your content creation
• Easy content ideas for quick posts which share your story
• Different social media platforms and which to focus on
• How to save time and maximize reach by utilizing multiple platforms

This webinar is scheduled for 1 hour of instruction and 30 minutes of questions. Register >> https://score.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cVC0xq8NQaidfLSJnWBzew#/registration

In Part One, we will review how to define realistic profit goals and ways to manage expenses by covering the following topics:

Budgeting for Profitability – Entrepreneurs often budget by taking last year’s sales and increasing it by a few percent, if they budget at all. This section will take the traditional Revenue – Expenses = Profit equation and turn it around to make sure you are budgeting for profit first.

Determining the Owner’s Profit – Learn how to determine how much profit you should expect your business to generate and how to make sure it actually ends up in your pocket.

Examining Operational Expenses – Entrepreneurs often pay attention to sales and little else. They expect extra sales to result in extra profit, but too often this does not happen. This section examines all categories of operational expense with a goal of significant overhead reduction.

Examining Variable Expenses – We will perform a similar analysis of variable expenses to suggest ways to reduce them and increase gross profit. We will also look at the different impacts of operational versus variable expenses and why you should take steps to move expenses from one category into the other.

The Florida APEX Accelerator at the University of North Florida is hosting monthly roundtable discussions on topics related to government contracting. These no-cost, virtual and informal sessions are for business owners or those thinking about entering into the government contracting sector; federal, state or local. You will be able to ask questions about doing business with the government; each session will start with one or two specific topics, then we will open the floor to attendees to ask our Government Contracting Consultants their specific questions.
