(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/darren/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114This is a guest post by Chris Spoerl, owner of Magic Pool Services in Orlando Florida. DISCLAIMER: As it will become obvious in a paragraph or two, Chris is a client of mine. Why I don’t know, since Chris has some pretty serious marketing chops himself. But none the less, I am happy to say he is a client and now a friend. While I appreciate his comments, I think the takeaway here is that once you actively engage in social media, many doors open that were once closed. Enjoy his post!<\/em><\/p>\n My kids ask me all the time what I do for a living.\u00a0 I tell them that I clean pools.\u00a0 This is a very simple answer to a complex question,\u00a0 What I do, is market my business Magic Pool Services so that I can get more jobs, so I can keep growing my business.\u00a0 A lot of small business owners get tied up in \u201cworking in their business\u201d as opposed to \u201cworking on their business\u201d.<\/p>\n I came across this blog via Twitter about six months ago, and I am a faithful reader.\u00a0 I developed a relationship with Darren Slaughter.\u00a0 He is a down to Earth, no non-sense type of guy, even though he loves the Philadelphia Eagles.\u00a0 This relationship developed later into a business partnership as Darren works with us on marketing ourselves better.<\/p>\n Since we hired Darren, our sales have increased even in a slow season, and his advice is priceless.\u00a0\u00a0 Most of his tips are simple, easy things small business owners can do to make a difference in our sales.\u00a0 He is not your proto-typical salesperson, as he really wants you to succeed. Plus his consulting fees are reasonable.<\/p>\n My advice to you is to find a way to contact Darren through the several options on this site, and get a free business consultation.\u00a0 You quickly find that Darren is the \u201cBig Daddy \u201cof marketing and will take your business to the next level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a guest post by Chris Spoerl, owner of Magic Pool Services in Orlando Florida.
