Sian Murphy – The Ruby Marketers

Sian Murphy, Women in Business New ChairSian Murphy is a writer, trainer, manager and creator of business blogs.  Her specialist area is helping the owner of local businesses who, like her, didn’t grow up strapped to a laptop or with an innate understanding of computers and the internet.

She has worked within the varied fields of local government, local business, and internet marketing, and it is this medley of experience which helps her to bridge the gap between the corporate and online marketing worlds.

Recently she has founded The Ruby Marketers, a group of experts who collectively span the key fields of online marketing for local business.  As an NLP practitioner and coach, Sian’s role is to ensure clients can use social media and online marketing tools with confidence.  These skills help The Ruby Marketers deliver their promise to never give any local business owner something they don’t need, or can’t use.

Sian is also the Marketing Manager, Business Strategist and WordPress expert for the team.

Upcoming ventures include collaborating with her business partner, Ali Mackenzie, to create the Women In Business Club. This online training programme is designed to empower, train and support women in business to address those niggly issues which can prevent women in business from realising their full potential.

Please contact Sian for information on setting up business blogs and social media profiles and for details on Business Blog Coaching.

Andrea Beadle – Websites and Marketing with Heart

Andrea BeadleAndrea is passionate about helping holistic practitioner, coaches and heart-centered entrepreneurs who are terrified of technology embrace the Internet and take their business on-line in order to get more clients, reach more people and make more money.

She helps you to get clear on what makes your business unique – how your personality, skills and experiences combine in a way that only you can help people. Knowing this means that you can express it so much more easily in your marketing AND in a way that doesn’t feel pushy or “salesy”.

Once you know what your business is she builds you a website and teaches you to easily manage and update it yourself so that you can help people through blogging on your website.

She can also support you with on-line technology such as PayPal, using skype or teleconferencing equipment or very patiently teach you how to do things yourself.

In summary she just loves to help people with all the stuff that terrifies them! Websites, capture pages, Squeeze pages (if you even know what they are – and no it is nothing to do with oranges!), technology and anything to do with on-line marketing and social media.

Kirsten Gibbs – Replico

Kirsten Gibbs ReplicoIf Replico ruled the world, every piece of valuable expertise and know-how that ever gets created would have a life outside it’s originator’s head – so that as many people as possible can benefit, and so that they can fully reap the rewards of having produced it in the first place.

So, at Replico we help business owners to capitalise on the know-how they have built up in their business, to turn sunk costs into realisable and re-sellable assets through licensing, franchising and other forms of business scaling. We help you to decide which approach is best for you, then provide hands-on practical help to do it. We can even do the whole thing on your behalf.

And if you are looking to get into business for yourself, whether that’s through franchising, licensing, buying an existing business or starting your own from scratch then we can help you too, by giving you the insights and tools to make sure you find the very best opportunity for you – the one that maximises your chances of success.

We do this by helping you to identify what kinds of business and what kinds of role within a business will suit you best, and by giving you tools for systematically and rigorously assessing any opportunity you identify, so you can make sure you are buying into a sound proposition that will also deliver what you want from your working life, in the way you like to work.

Specialities:

UK Franchise advisers, UK franchise consultants, Franchise advisers, franchise consultants, UK licensing advisers, UK licensing consultants, distribution networks, business exit and business succession, rapid sustainable growth for startups, SMEs or corporates.
