The Only BS you need in your Online Biz is a Business Strategy. More Clarity, Confidence, Certainty Each time…..
(253)
Gain more clarity, confidence, certainty and clients.... without the BS. Business owner, entrepreneur, speaker, mentor, coach, motivator, blogger, podcaster, mum. Due to Marriage, having Kids and Moving Suburbs and Countries, I have had to START and STOP my business repeatedly. NO CLIENTS, a NEW Target Market and with NO MARKETING BUDGET. Over the past 20 years, I have learnt the HARD WAY of WHAT
NOT TO DO….. and Over the last 6 years, I have helped business owners SAVE TIME AND MONEY by transforming their business without paying for ads. I went from Broke in a new country with 3 daughters under 5yrs old, to now abundant in business all from Being self taught out of necessity. I then went on to get my diploma in social media marketing, winning International Business awards and being featured on channel 9 news, FOX, CBS & NBC in the Startup, Small Business, Education, Innovation and Mums in Business Categories. I'm not interested in only making more friends, I'm interested in you simply and effectively getting more clients, create income producing opportunities and to grow your business (without wasting time and money)
Funny Friday !!
Or not so funny for businesses wanting stress free management of their marketing with more online leads 🤪
Being a better leader in your business can improve your work environment significantly.
This week, many of the client sessions I had, involved creating frameworks, boundaries and processes between the business owner and their marketing managers or VAs.
The feedback is always “OMG we are all loving this new way, and so much more empowered and efficient. We all know what to do and it’s not chaotic anymore”
No matter your personality or business, there is a better way to create harmony and productivity in the management of your marketing .
Let me show you how
You’re marketing will never be the same again
You’re posting, emailing, updating your website… but is any of it actually working?
So many business owners and VAs spend hours on marketing tasks that don’t lead to real results. More content doesn’t always mean more leads. Working harder doesn’t always mean better outcomes.
Busy doesn’t mean productive.
Imagine having:
* A clear strategy that actually works
* A VA who knows exactly what to focus on
* A marketing system that saves you time instead of wasting it
It’s time to stop guessing and start seeing real progress.

My Story (well at least a 1/4 of it lol)
Business owner, Entrepreneur, Speaker, Coach, Motivator, Writer and Mum
Due to Marriage, having Kids and Moving Suburbs and Countries, Chantal had to START and STOP her business repeatedly. Each time….. NO CLIENTS, a NEW Target Market and with NO MARKETING BUDGET.
Getting through the maze that is Facebook and making it work for your business is something that many people struggle with, or just plain loath. Then there's Chantal Gerardy, Facebook strategist, who loves nothing more than working things out (in life and in work), getting stuck into the crux of Facebook and showing how to make it work for your business...without needing to spend any money on advertising.
Chantal has a fantastic background story, having given up everything she immigrated to Australia 11 years ago with 3 children under 5 years of age (including twins). Needing to establish herself in business, here in the Gold Coast, in a saturated market, she started using Facebook to create her own personal platform, network and grow her business.
Things went so well that it wasn't long before Chantal opened up her own bricks and mortar fitness studio and started hosting Meetup groups, teaching people how to grow a business on Facebook with no marketing budget, just like she had done. That was 5 years ago, and the demand for her Facebook service continued to grow so much that it has become her full-time job.
Chantal created her signature one-on-one Facebook Strategy Program which can be facilitated in Burleigh at Fleks Workspace or Online. Here she works with her clients to determine how Facebook can benefit the entire business, including staff...providing them with content, body and structure to add a more diverse view and generate them business.
The accessibility of Chantal makes her really stand out, you can be confident that she will show you how to safely and effectively use the platform to it's maximum capabilities, that all privacy and compliancy issues are adhered to and that there is a strategic framework used to create solutions...there is also an online course in the pipeline, which will be launched in the near future.
Nothing gets Chantal more excited than getting her clients excited and helping them grow their online presence. Having not forgotten her journey from South Africa to Australia, Chantal knows what it's like to struggle financially and emotionally, she has a deep sense of needing to give back to the community, regularly helping startups, retirement villages and charities.
Chantal has a diploma in social media marketing and was Nominated TOP 100 Coolest Companies in Australia 2018, Finalist in Gold Coast Girls in Business Award , Telstra Business Award, My business Award, YMAG awards and 2 x International Bronze awards for OUT OF THE BOX MARKETING : START UPS.
If you need help growing YOUR BUSINESS on Facebook, and would like to set up your socials and learn how to use them effectively, then contact Chantal.
