Since she wrote this post, Breanne has become an expert at Facebook, Facebook advertising, Instagram, Pinterest and other social media platforms. For some clients, she manages everything. For others, she handles a specific ongoing campaign with the client writing daily posts and interacting with the audience. For still others, Breanne sets up the platforms correctly and then trains the client to be their own social media manager. She has also trained new team members for Sprocket.
Whether you’re tech savvy or tech illiterate we’ll take one step at a time and figure out how to make it work for you. The best part is that if you ever get stuck, Sprocket team members are pros -- and that’s a lot of back up!
Sprocket Websites has never been about selling a commodity, although that would be an easier business model. Instead, we have always wanted to be a partner in your success. We know 2020 is not “business as usual,” but business still needs to get done. If you want to do more online and want help, give us a call and let’s talk!
