CEO of Beth Granger Consulting

Beth Granger is a social sales trainer and social media, communications, and branding consultant who uses her unique blend of creative, technical, and business communications expertise to help business owners, VPs of sales, CMOs, recruiters, and individuals address their business goals and challenges.

Often a business owner will ask for her help because they are worried by the lack of a trusted advisor, or frustrated by the inability to hire additional staff with specific communications expertise. She has been told that she helps remove the fear some people have of social media, web strategy, and marketing by helping navigate the online or social landscape. When clients are asked why they work with Beth the answer is frequently that she asks the right questions and she listens. One client said, “I didn’t know the difference between a hashtag and a handle until I spoke to Beth.”

Beth teaches social media and social sales. Her presentation titled Linkedin sales success in ten minutes a day has been well received at national sales meetings, trade events, and as a series of one-on-one seminars. Business owners and sales managers bring Beth in to train salespeople to incorporate the power of social selling using Linkedin, Twitter, and other platforms, into their sales and prospecting activities. She has also trained recruiters to do social recruiting and guest lectures on multiple topics at the Hofstra University Continuing Education program.

Beth is the Vice President of the board of directors of the Social Media Association and a member of the board of directors of Landmark on Main Street, a not-for-profit theater/community center.

Beth can be found on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and is already researching the new platform that you will hear about tomorrow! In fact, she says she is addicted to a new platform called Blab and that you should join her on one soon.
