When I speak to any really good communicator, and ask them what is their secret, they always say that they listen.
Listening to what your customers, staff, friends and family need to say to you, whether it is positive or negative is often the most powerful thing you can do.
Last week I met with an innovative company that has worked with a client of mine in the IT and Sustainability sector on developing technologies to better manage processes within the organisation.
Marketing Eye is offering businesses the opportunity to have their own Marketing team and a website created for $500 per week.
About 4 years ago, Marketing Eye was engaged by Gold Coast Accounting firm Saber Accountants, to develop a new logo identity and branding as well as marketing material and a website. 
Opened today’s Sunday papers and I was pleasantly surprised to see Marketing Eye’s ‘product placement’ in the latest Leonardo DiCaprio movie Inception being reported. 
When my neighbour came to me and asked if I could develop a website for her new business, I was thrilled. Here we have a woman in her 50’s ready to give up a corporate career to help others like herself manage their wealth better. Well, not exactly help them, but provide them with valuable resources that assist in making better informed decisions. 
This is a man who knows his stuff. He is a very experienced stock analyst with more than 20 years working in this area for some of the world’s most prestigious financial institutions. On top of that, he is the author and analyst behind the highly respected Stockradar Report that provides daily tips and weekly updates on buying and selling shares. 
Ever wondered how some people get a story in the paper, whilst others do not even though they may be more successful, make more money, have more prestigious clients and have a better name? Public relations is just what is says. It is free publicity about you and/or your company. Some call it simply ‘human relations’. 
This is a picture of a new entrepreneur who in her 50’s is starting a new online business. With a love of trading shares and years of experiences in making money on the market and of course, loosing it, she will launch this week www.learnhowtotradeshares.com.au.
